Song Lyrics

I met this guy named Michael
Had a motorcycle
Thought that he was cool, he always quoted from the bible
But he had a baby mama
Who was a primadonna
Had to let him go 'cause I ain't really with the drama
I was feeling Keith
With the goatee
But he was a thug and always running from police
He was always trying to get me in the sheets
Wasn't good enough for me

I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth

So I started seeing Jamie
He acted like a baby
Always playing video games and being lazy
Smoked too much marijuana
Stuck in his pajamas
Always dropping wisdom like he was the Dalai Lama
Was talking to Tim
He couldn't let me in
Said he got burned and now he doesn't trust women
I can't pay for somebody else's sin
Gotta find another man

I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth

When a woman knows her worth
She waits for someone she deserves
She's first
Even if it hurts

Won't to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth

I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
When I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth
