Put your hands in the air tonight
You know things get dark at night
But you light up like a candlelight
You shine so bright
A woman with a stronger mind
I just need some time
To appreciate the strength of your ambitions
And visions
The first woman that I met in my life
It was hard made a real sacrifice aye
I remembered I would cry myself to sleep
But my momma was always there for me
Yea, 2 jobs through a pregnancy
After work catch a bus along the street
Yea, She was always there for me
Yea, The definition of a queen
Give black women their roses before it's too late, aye
What is the wait, yeah
They've been paving the way each and every day
So what is the wait
What is the wait yeah yeah
Put your hands in the air tonight
You know things get dark at night
But you light up like a candlelight
You shine so bright
A woman with a stronger mind
I just need some time
To appreciate the strength of your ambitions
And visions
Keep pushing keep goin keep fighting
Pay attention in class keep writing
Keep leading your peers keep striving
Keep posting so I can keep liking
Aye, so I can keep liking
Keep pushing keep goin keep fighting
Pay attention in class keep writing
Keep leading your peers keep striving
Give black women their roses before it's too late, aye
What is the wait, yeah
They've been paving the way each and every day
So what is the wait
What is the wait yeah yeah
Put your hands in the air tonight
You know things get dark at night
But you light up like a candlelight
You shine so bright
A woman with a stronger mind
I just need some time
To appreciate the strength of your ambitions
And visions, ye
