lirik lagu james cook - what happened
lyrical sketch:
(verse 1)
she used to talk ’bout her dreams, had a light inside so pure / now i see her in the spot, every single night for sure / hair laid, nails done, a masterpiece from head to toe / but her smile don’t reach her eyes anymore, and i just gotta know…
(pre~chorus)
is it the pressure, is it the pain? tryna make it through another day / in a world that shows you love, then turns and makes you pay…
(chorus)
what happened to my queen? (my queen) / out here on the scene, livin’ life so mean / two, three baby daddies, what does it all mean? / she don’t cook, she don’t clean, all about the green / what happened, my black queen?
(verse 2)
they label her “sapphire,” say she’s “too much” or “not enough” / tryna build a kingdom on a foundation that’s so rough / maybe “market value” is the only worth they let her see / a matriarch surviving what’s in front of her, just tryna be free…
(bridge ~ spoken/ad~libbed, a la charlie wilson)
“see, i’m not here to judge you, baby. i see your hustle, i feel your grind. i’m just asking… who’s loving you? who’s holding you down at the end of the line?”
(outro ~ with harmonies)
what happened… my queen… / let your true light shine… / what happened… my queen…
now it’s all for the ‘gram, a filtered, flashing light / showin’ every single thing, never hidin’ from the night / curated for the views, leavin’ nothin’ to the mind / a performance for the dms, what’s the price she leaves behind? / ’til a knock came at the door, oh, a case she couldn’t win / now her world’s on lockdown, numbers where her name has been / and in a desperate, lonely hour, tryna feel some kind of spark… / a moment for the homie in the shadows of the dark
(bridge ~ spoken/ad~libbed)
“social media mirror… tellin’ you you’re fine. but who’s that person in the picture, girl? is she really yours or mine? a moment of confusion, a cry buried in the spread… chasin’ a feelin’ to feel somethin’… ‘stead of feelin’ nothin’ instead.”
(outro ~ reprise with somber harmonies)
what happened… (to my queen, to my queen)… / all the glitz and the gleam… / what happened… (to my queen, oh, my queen)… / was life harder than it seemed?…
