Empress Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 prima donna
Had to let him go 'cause I ain't really with the drama
I was feeling Keith
With the gold teeth
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
When a woman knows her worth
She waits for someone she deserves
She's first
Even if it hurts
[Chorus]
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

When did Ray learn her worth?
I learned my worth after a breakup in 2015 when I stopped dating this guy who really didn’t respect me or treat me right. I had to sit down and ask myself why I let that happen for so long and take responsibility for allowing somebody to make me feel less than I am. You’ll only get what you allow an...
Who is the Empress in Ray's life?
My mother. She has set such an example for me. She strives to be the best and do the best in everything she does; she’s giving and selfless, knows her worth and doesn’t accept anything less. She inspires everyone around her to do the same.

What did RAY BLK say about "Empress"?
This is my story – done my way. It’s about seeing yourself, knowing what you deserve. And it’s for girls to wake up and see themselves as empresses…I want women to see themselves as queens.
