You're throwing in towels
You're done with pretences
Snakes in your circle
Pray karma gon come around all them posers
You're done with whole thing
Long day, late night, nuh sleep
Cake up, bake up
Getting slice
Every slice right down to the cream
But feel like you not in control
Days when you're losing the plot
But how you gon think of the quit
When all of your moves are legit baby
Fix up that crown
Keep it up and hold it down
Godspeed on the low, is how you gon run this town
Vertical, vertical, vertical
Stand tall queen, keep it vertical
You deserve gold
And and they give you none
Still you gon win keep it vertical
Vertical, vertical, vertical
Stand tall queen, keep it vertical
You deserve peace
And they give you none
Still we'll get there, keep it vertical
It's safe to say I'm not getting out of bed today
It's safe to say the world finally won today
Pulling me down and always crushing my heart
Telling me lies like I'm not pretty enough
On top of that, I gotta keep my head high
On top of that, I gotta fix my own crown
On top of that, I gotta swim in my own tears
I'm not looking down
I'm not looking down
The word puporse and what it means
Has filled my spirt
We all have purpose
Even if we are still striving to understand what that is
And there have been tough times
Aswell as moments of uncertainty and of doubt
But what women like my mother
Betty Jane and my aunt Golden taught me
Is that there will be times
When you seemingly face insurmountable obstacles
But that's when you dig deep into your soul
For the courage and the fortitude to keep going
And to never, to never forget
That despite life's detours
You are destined for greatness
Vertical, vertical, vertical
Stand tall queen, keep it vertical
You deserve gold
And they give you none
Still you gon win keep it vertical
Vertical, vertical, vertical
Stand tall queen, keep it vertical
You deserve peace
And they give you none
Still we'll get there, keep it vertical
