Samantha’s Song – The Queen They Misunderstood

(UK Hip-Hop – Deep, Soulful, Emotional, Inspired by Dave’s Style)


---

[Intro]

Yeah…
This one’s for Samantha.
For Paul, Wozim, Chantelle… for all of us.
For Auntie June, rest in peace.
For the love we needed, for the pain we carried.
For the queen they judged but never understood.

Samantha, I need you to hear this.
‘Cause if I lost you… I don’t know.


---

[Verse 1]

Firstborn, yeah, you carried the weight,
Too young to be strong, but they gave you no break,
Mum was at work, Dad weren’t around,
So you stepped in, held it down for the house.

Five of us, yeah, chaos and noise,
Two sisters, two brothers, lost little boys,
Paul was next, then me, Lance the wild one,
Wozim and Chantelle, all looking up stunned.

But who looked at you? Who asked how you felt?
You had things to say, but no one would help,
Grew up too fast, lost time you deserved,
They judged who you are, but they don’t know the hurt.


---

[Pre-Chorus]

"Samantha, you a queen, let ‘em know that it’s fact,
They can judge all they want, but we know where it’s at,
You held us together when the world fell apart,
If they saw through your eyes, they would know all your scars."


---

[Chorus]

You the rock, yeah, you the spine,
Took all the pain, but still let us shine,
Samantha, you a diamond they can’t understand,
If they lived in your shoes, they’d respect who I am.

You the heart, yeah, you the soul,
Gave us a place where love still grows,
Misunderstood, but you still held tight,
Samantha, you a queen and you changed my life.


---

[Verse 2]

Mum kept us fed, but love felt cold,
We craved attention, we needed a home,
Not just four walls, but a place to be seen,
Not just things, but to know what love means.

We weren’t the reason for battles they had,
Born into struggle, it’s all that we had,
Sang through the pain, me, you, and Paul,
Music the place where we’d never fall.

But trouble still found us, belts on our skin,
Punished for livin’, like life was a sin,
Told I was ugly, too black for the world,
So I asked Mum, Will I be handsome when I grow?


---

[Pre-Chorus]

"Samantha, you a queen, let ‘em know that it’s fact,
They can judge all they want, but we know where it’s at,
You held us together when the world fell apart,
If they saw through your eyes, they would know all your scars."


---

[Chorus]

You the rock, yeah, you the spine,
Took all the pain, but still let us shine,
Samantha, you a diamond they can’t understand,
If they lived in your shoes, they’d respect who I am.

You the heart, yeah, you the soul,
Gave us a place where love still grows,
Misunderstood, but you still held tight,
Samantha, you a queen and you changed my life.


---

[Bridge]

Auntie June, yeah, she gave us love,
Held us close when life got tough,
A shoulder to cry on, a heart so true,
Now she’s gone, but she stays with you.

Rest in peace, her love remains,
Guiding us through life’s cruel games,
She saw the queen you’ve always been.
