Queen Ifrica joined the Flames Production camp in 1998 when, at a show in honour of the late Garnett Silk, Tony Rebel hearing the clean vocals and the unmistakable quality of her performance, asked her to join the Flames camp. Since then, she has worked her way up to being one of the premier female cultural reggae artists in the business. Queen’s stage craft, her repertoire, and her total artist development have bloomed over the years, ultimately making her into a staple in cultural reggae events around the world.
Queen has had several of her recordings become a staple on the airwaves, from the ever popular “Randy” to “Boxers and Stockings”. Queen Ifrica’s music resonates with conscious, purifying energy. She remains grounded in her way of life, her community and her children. She has a strong social consciousness, supporting her words with actions by being an active participant in several community outreach activities. Included in this is her work on the Committee for Community in the heart of Kingston’s inner-city, particularly the S-Corner community in Kingston 13. The United Nations’ celebration of the Year of the Volunteers in 2001 saw her teaming with Tony Rebel and others to deliver a song recognized by the United Nations as a gem.
With her haunting melodies, clear sound and fluid delivery, Queen Ifrica sets out to be a force to be reckoned with, creating timeless rebel music in the ilk of her father Derrick Morgan, Garnett Silk, Nina Simone and Miriam Mackeba. Her aspiration is to make music that lives on.
The Beat Goes On
Queen Ifrica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're talking about evolution
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong with the song
We can sing it forever
Hey, look at me, I'm the one
Got to make the connection
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong with the song
We can sing it forever
Hey, look at me, I'm the one
Got to make the connection
Move with the times
Realize it's a natural progression
Come once again
Feel the pulse, share the love
One to one
We can now share the love
Without fear the way is clear
Because we know that the beat goes on
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong with the song
We can sing it forever
Love, lost and found
Like the beat goes on anything at all 1.40
And now is the time to relate
Take some positive action
Hey, look at me, I'm the one
Got to make the connection
And we can build up with what we started
With the rhythm in our hearts
We'll celebrate the changes
'Cause everyday the beat goes on
We can regenerate that song
And let the evolution take us to the places
That we've never been before
The beat goes on
Nothing's wrong with the song
We can sing it forever
Hey, look at me, I'm the one
Got to make the connection
The beat goes on
We can sing it forever, hey
The beat goes on
Got to make the connection

Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Oh oh ohhh
When the roll is called up
I'll be standing taller
To face the darkest and the hardest of times
We'll be takin care of
All the children there of
But if it's required we'll be on the frontline
You can call me by my name
I am ready to roll
Once the rules remain the same
How the story's been told
Call me any time
Never cop out
Lioness is on the rise
Don't you ever have doubt
Never say never we're in this forever to fight and be strong
Once is for better I'll write every letter in moving right along
And I roll with the punches
Accept changes
Work with the formula do what I have to do
And call me by my name
I am ready to roll
Once the rules remain the same
All the stories been told
Call me any time
Never cop out
Lioness is on the rise
Don't you ever have doubt
When you're willing to serve
We have room to observe
To see if you can walk the walk you talk
Let me give you my word
My voice must be heard
Bravery is a piece of my heart
Call me by my name
I am ready to roll
Once the rules remain the same
How the story's been told
Call me any time
Never cop out
A Lioness is on the rise
Don't you ever have doubt
Don't ever have no doubt
When the road is colder
We'll be standing tall up
To face the darkest and hardest of times
We'll be taking care of
All the children there of
But if it's required we'll be on the frontline
You can call me by my name
I am ready to roll
Once the rules remain the same
How the story's been told
Call me any time
Never cop out
Lioness is on the rise
Don't you ever have doubt
Oh yeah
Call me by my name
I am ready to roll
Once the rules remain the same
How the story's been told
Call me any time
Never cop out
Lioness is on the rise
Don't you ever have doubt
Ready to roll
