Empress Embattled

Dem a tell her she an Empress
​Dem a tell her she a Queen
Come and dance here
We all love you
It's not safe, but you can do it
You're a Rasta Empress
You're a Reggae Queen
 
Standing and smiling
Stepping in trust
Learning the hard way
Words of love belie acts of lust
Stripped of money
Bared of pride
"NO!" she yelled
but no one cried
 
Dem a tell her she an Empress
Dem a tell her she a Queen
Words come easy
Only actions tell
The heart of the characters
Who guide through this hell

[Ark of the Covenant Riddim]
