the queen
M.I.K.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey babe
Where are you going
Do you think
I really haven't noticed
Oh babe
All I want is a moment
Where are you going
Is there anything you want to tell me

I come home
To empty sheets
When I wake up
You aren't there next to me
You say you're working
But I know that you aren't
Cause work don't call
At 3 in the morning

I made you the best part of me
And I gave you my everything
My trust yeah you blew it
But still I knew it
Boy you can't play someone smarter than you
Now you get to see ice queen
And revenge is the sweetest thing
My trust yeah you blew it
But I still knew it
Boy you can't play someone smarter than you

This the shit that happens
When a girl is too damn loyal
Make a guy think he too damn royal
I don't know I stooped so low
Me and my college degrees
With a man without a G.E.D

I don't know what you hoped to see
Why would I fight a woman that far underneath me
Why should I pay for something useless
I can get something better for free

I made you the best part of me
And I gave you my everything
My trust yeah you blew it
But still I knew it
Boy you can't play someone smarter than you
Now you see ice queen
And revenge is the sweetest thing
My trust yeah you blew it
But I still knew it
Boy you can't play someone smarter than you
I made you the best part of me
And I gave you my everything
My trust yeah you blew it
But still I knew it
Boy you can't play someone smarter than you
Now you see ice queen
And revenge is the sweetest thing
My trust yeah you blew it




But I still knew it
Boy you can't play someone smarter than you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M.I.K.E.'s "The Queen" portray a woman who has been played and betrayed by her man. The song begins with the woman questioning her partner's actions and motives, wondering where he is going and whether he has anything to share with her. She feels unsettled and uncertain, sensing that he is hiding something from her.


As the song progresses, we learn that the woman has been left alone in bed while her partner is out doing who-knows-what. He claims to be working, but she knows the truth - he is cheating on her. She has given him everything, including her trust, but he has selfishly betrayed her. Yet, despite his deception, she sees through his lies and deception, understanding that she cannot be played by someone who is not as smart as she is. The woman has become an "ice queen," seeking revenge for the pain he has caused her, but also recognizing that she deserves something better and stronger for herself.


Overall, "The Queen" is a powerful anthem for women who have been hurt and betrayed, encouraging them to recognize their own strength and worth in the face of hardship and heartbreak.
