"Cleopatra" lyrics

"Cleopatra"

I'm the type of girl who likes taking the lead
I don't give a fuck what they say about me
They say I'm scary, I'm not ladylike, I act like a queen
And I'll be wearing the crown whilst I'll be kissing my teeth, yeah
Blacker than the leather that's holding our boots together
If you rock a different shade, we come under the same umbrella
Pharaohs and empresses, our bones made out of treasure
I'll be twirling on swords, watch me slit and slice and sever

At night, we ride
We come alive
You can't run or hide
At night, we ride
We live, never die
It's in our bloodlines

I'm a samurai, samurai, samurai, dancer
Warrior, warrior, warrior, fighter
Ah, I'm a boss bitch
Ah, I'm Cleopatra
I'm a samurai, samurai, samurai, dancer
Warrior, warrior, warrior, fighter
Ah, I'm a boss bitch
Ah, I'm Cleopatra

When I was a kid, they always called me a freak
And now them little bitches want to look like me
They'll be injecting, imperfecting till it starts to weep
You can buy your looks, but you can't change your genes
I'm a straight talker, fucking say what you mean
Want to know where I'm from and where the hell I've been
From Persia to Nigeria, London to Jamaica
Our ancestors were sailors, crossed over the equator

At night, we ride
We come alive
You can't run or hide
At night, we ride
We live, never die
It's in our bloodlines

I'm a samurai, samurai, samurai, dancer
Warrior, warrior, warrior, fighter
Ah, I'm a boss bitch
Ah, I'm Cleopatra
I'm a samurai, samurai, samurai, dancer
Warrior, warrior, warrior, fighter
Ah, I'm a boss bitch
Ah, I'm Cleopatra

Wouldn't wanna be, wouldn't wanna be
Wouldn't wanna be anyone but me
Wouldn't wanna be, wouldn't wanna be
Wouldn't wanna be, I'm the fucking queen

I'm a samurai, samurai, samurai, dancer
Warrior, warrior, warrior, fighter
Ah, I'm a boss bitch
Ah, I'm Cleopatra
I'm a samurai, samurai, samurai, dancer
Warrior, warrior, warrior, fighter
Ah, I'm a boss bitch
Ah, I'm Cleopatra

Ah
Ah
