No Place for a Queen in the Night

No place for a queen in the night

            When the freaks come out

                        No weaks come out

                                    For fear of the night

Where things are seen you don’t want to see

            Not trying to be mean

                        But it’s no place for a queen

So young lady put away your goods

            Out in the night you’ll

                        Never be understood

The streets only use you, abuse you,

            And throw you away

                        Not caring if you

                                    Survive another day

Haven’t you heard?

            There’s blood on the street

                        No place to plant your feet

                                    Trying not to get caught up in heat

No place for a queen without

            A real team

                        They don’t care about you

                                    Playing with your head

                                                And trying to screw

Your mind up

            Their so corrupt

                        Actions all abrupt

So young lady let’s find the peace

            Cause the violence won’t cease

                        It will only increase

Can’t you see your losing your

            Innocence

                        You will be wondering later

                                    Where your life went

Don’t you see the tears in your

            Mother’s eyes

                        The inhales your

                                    Grandmother sighs

The cries of them calling your name

            “Olivia, Olivia” the streets are no game

                        It’s just not the same

                                    They won’t lead to your fame

But your name may be in the news

            Your family singing the blues

                        It’s the path you choose

                                    Trying to pay all your dues

This is no place for a queen

            All shades and creeds
                        Be weary of those with greed
                                    Try wiping your eyes and smile so bright
                                                            This is no place for a queen in the night
