Walters' music career started with help from Teddy Riley, music producer and member of the R&B group Blackstreet in the mid 1990s. She was a featured rapper, along with Dr. Dre, on Blackstreet's 1996 hit, "No Diggity". Her biggest hit as a lead rapper was "Party Ain’t A Party" (featuring Lost Boyz) from her debut album. She also gained notice from her song "Girlfriend" (featuring Me'Shell NdegeOcello), where she explored same-sex affairs.
Queen Pen took a hiatus from singing until 2001, when she released her second album, Conversations With Queen. She is now a novelist.

Queen Pen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm taking you back
Here's another one
Uh yeah
I remember being on that nigga's chair hard
Back in the day in the projects
Chasing after him a lil' young chick
And write this lil' shit like this
Check it out
Here's how it goes
Used to see you when I went to the store
Always watch you play ball from my bedroom window
The places you frequent, the chicks you freaked with
The spot in the grass where you kept your stash
I used to wonder to myself if you felt my eyes
If you ever noticed me and knew I was alive
I tried to draw your attention, wore dresses to my thighs
With hopes to get close to you
Used to dream about you right before I went to sleep
Used to wake up on the morning hugging the sheets
Used to practice what I'd say for the day that we meet
Used to pray every day for the day that we meet
Used to hang with your sis if she only knew
I only hung with that bitch to get closer to you
Wasn't no limit to the things I would do
To give all my love to you, my God
Can't feel myself
Don't want nobody else to ever love you
You are my shining star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night
I don't love you
You're at the top of my list
'cause I'm always thinking of you
(Take it to the bridge)
All my love
('Cause all my love's to you, my girl)
A thousand kisses from you and it wasn't enough
(Right, I'm taking you back, I'm taking you back, with another one)
I just don't want to stop
Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much
(Yeah, uh huh, yeah, Queen Pen take it to the Brooklyn Bridge)
Stop being by yourself, now you hung with the crew
I took the bangs out my hair over the summer, I grew
Me and my friends, all virgins, all learning,
How to tow that shit, how to throw that shit
Talked about that sex like I was used to it
Lying about how many you used to kiss
In the hallways, all day, 'till it was real
In the staircase, lights out, giving out feels
Put your name in my notebook, we all did that
Lined our names up with numbers to see if they matched
Scared to death 'bout the first time, I knew it would hurt
In your house, on your mother's couch, she was at work
Dead wrong, but head strong, ya had in this broad
The only one I ever loved ever since I was young
Once in a while I even cut school to give all my love to you
My God
Can't feel myself
Don't want nobody else to ever love you
You are my shining star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night
I don't love you
You're at the top of my list
'Cause I'm always thinking of you
(Take it to the bridge)
All my love
('Cause all my love's to you, my girl)
A thousand kisses from you and it wasn't enough
(Right, I'm taking you back, I'm taking you back, with another one)
I just don't want to stop
Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much
The breakdown, now bounce to this
Yeah, dedicated to the first love (right)
Uh, you know who you are, from the hood
It's all good (yeah) yeah
We goin' bounce ta dis
We make moves with this
'Cause all my love's to you
Now bounce
The song “All My Love” by Queen Pen is a hip-hop and R&B slow jam that tells the story of the artist's unrequited love for a boy she used to see around her neighborhood. The lyrics describe how she used to admire him from afar, dreaming of the day they would finally meet and be together. The song also expresses the intensity of her feelings, as she declares that she cannot love anyone else but him and that he is always on her mind. The chorus features a sample from Luther Vandross’s “Never Too Much,” adding a nostalgic and romantic touch to the song.
The first verse reminisces on Queen Pen’s teenage years, sitting on a chair at her old neighborhood projects and writing her feelings down about her unrequited love. Pen sings about how she used to see her crush when she went to the store, and would watch him play ball from her bedroom window. She would always wonder if he ever noticed her or felt her eyes on him. She admits to doing everything she could to draw his attention, even wearing dresses that showed off her thighs, hoping to get closer to him. The second verse depicts a more mature Queen Pen, who finally gets to know the boy and even starts hanging out with his sister to get closer to him. The breakdown section is dedicated to the first love and where Queen Pen affirms that "all my love's to you."
