Ghetto Queen
R. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crucial Conflict, Kelly and Rockland, collabo'
Funny faces is all I see
At my place, you on top of me
Playin' strip poker, sippin' Cristi'
I grip your shoulders, you sqeeze the sheets
I'm admirin' your heart shaped booty
Who's is this, who's is this, who's is this
Who's is this, who's is this, who's is this
My ghetto queen
[Chorus]
You're my ghetto queen
Right around the way from me
Watering those ghetto trees
We be high just like them weeds
Might be ghetto but you queen to me
That's how it's suppose to be
Do what ya gotta do for me
Forever fulfill your fantasy
When you think of me, have your cream
Everything my team must to do one thing
You're the meanest queen on the scene
Make a player 'fien and be havin' dreams
For real, it's real as it seems
You bring the trees, I'll bring the B's
Begin to freeze on to me, you can scream to please
Plus I'm ready now, take a stand, got me on Rockland
I can be your freaky man, you can climb in, suck a 10
Want some ends? You outta there
No more funny face, put you in your place
Come be the dinner, I'm a bring a plate
She's my ghetto girl in her own world, she's a queen
Queen of all things, for that I mean she's Spring
Personality rings bells in my dreams
Night to dawn, light spread tight, let's swing
Grip it in motion, wet coastin' with a little bit of ridin' rough
Up and down we stroke, strokin' puttin' things in her pocket is fat
But watch her stay cool, calm and collected
Flexin', check it, never was on that stressin'
Cause she bring that hay for the day, what a blessin'
Right around the way from me
This ghetto queen got up with a king
Keep it clean and in essence
[Chorus: x2]
[Kilo]
Where the players live
Have to deal with the Macks
Like the traps in the concrete jungle
Life's a safari in the mornin' huntin'
In effect, your pulse beatin' like bongos
We be like this, gettin' high
Ghetto queen you look so delightin'
Heard your body callin', callin' me, baby
Tellin' me to rodeo ride it
Don't fall off, hold on
Get your roll on, step aside, hugged her back
She swore she wouldn't do me, need your loyalty
You're makin' me wantin' to snap
I know your man is mad as hell
Cause it to a player and I did it well
And I added one more for the road, to let 'em know
Kilo weigh heavy on the scale
[Wyldstyle]
Dedicated to my ghetto queens in jeans,
That think they're mean
I'll massage you with whip cream
I wanna spread you legs and said you were my lady
Down with me, clown with me, fall to the ground with me
Lovin' how you sound when we get 'em off
Carry on to the dawn, give a dog a bone (lick 'em low)
Rodeo show, duckin' you, buckin' in the back of a Cadillac
Tell me if you want it like that (let's bang)
Got me tweakin' Mary Jane, it's a hay thing
Me and you, everyday keep it high like flames (your game)
What's my name? What's my name?
It's Wyldstyle from Chitown, no shame
Me and the ghetto queen comin' up the main
Switchin' four lanes, to the airplane
Sky high we fly when we roll by
On the down low, doin' my thing man
[Chorus]
Crucial Conflict, Kelly, and Rockland, collabo'
Crucial Conflict, Kelly, and Rockland, collabo'
[Chorus: Repeats]
The lyrics to R. Kelly's "Ghetto Queen" are describing a passionate, sexual encounter with a woman who is from the ghetto, but to the singer, she is a queen. The lyrics are explicit and erotic, describing the two playing strip poker, drinking Cristi, and admiring the woman's heart-shaped booty. The singer refers to the woman as "my ghetto queen" and states that she is high just like the weeds. The chorus repeats that she is his queen, and he will fulfill her fantasies as long as she does what he asks of her.
The lyrics are controversial due to the explicit nature of the song, and some have criticized the way the singer refers to the woman as his queen while objectifying her. Others have described the lyrics as empowering to a woman from the ghetto who is reclaiming the language of a queen for herself. The song is divisive, and its interpretation may vary depending on the listener.

Queen of all things, for that I mean she's Spring
She is the best in everything, just like the season of Spring
Personality rings bells in my dreams
Her personality resonates strongly in my dreams
Night to dawn, light spread tight, let's swing
From night until morning, let's have a good time together

Up and down we stroke, strokin' puttin' things in her pocket is fat
We move up and down, stroking and achieving pleasure
But watch her stay cool, calm and collected
Watch her stay composed and calm

Ghetto queen, you look so attractive

I heard your body calling out to me, baby
Tellin' me to rodeo ride it
Telling me to ride it like in a rodeo
Don't fall off, hold on
Don't lose control, hold on tight
Get your roll on, step aside, hugged her back
Continue with your movements, make room for me, hold her from behind
She swore she wouldn't do me, need your loyalty
She promised not to cheat on me, I need your faithfulness
You're makin' me wantin' to snap
You are tempting me to lose control
I know your man is mad as hell
I know your partner is extremely angry
Cause it to a player and I did it well
Because you chose me, a player, and I performed exceptionally
And I added one more for the road, to let 'em know
And I added one more experience before leaving, to show them
Kilo weigh heavy on the scale
My presence holds a lot of importance
Dedicated to my ghetto queens in jeans, That think they're mean
This is dedicated to my confident and stylish girls from the urban neighborhood
I'll massage you with whip cream
I will sensually massage you with whipped cream
I wanna spread you legs and said you were my lady
I want to pleasure you and claim you as my woman
Down with me, clown with me, fall to the ground with me
Be with me, have fun with me, go down on the ground with me
Lovin' how you sound when we get 'em off
I love the sounds you make when we reach climax
Carry on to the dawn, give a dog a bone (lick 'em low)
Continue until morning, give pleasure to each other
Rodeo show, duckin' you, buckin' in the back of a Cadillac
A wild and intense sexual experience in the back of a Cadillac
Tell me if you want it like that (let's bang)
Tell me if you want it exactly like that (let's have sex)
Got me tweakin' Mary Jane, it's a hay thing
You have me under the influence of marijuana, it's a pleasurable experience
Me and you, everyday keep it high like flames (your game)
You and I, every day we keep the passion burning like flames
What's my name? What's my name?
Do you know my name?
It's Wyldstyle from Chitown, no shame
It's Wyldstyle from Chicago, no shame
Me and the ghetto queen comin' up the main
The ghetto queen and I are rising to the top
Switchin' four lanes, to the airplane
Switching lanes in a high-speed manner, heading to the airport
Sky high we fly when we roll by
We soar high in the sky when we pass by
On the down low, doin' my thing man
Keeping it discrete, doing what I do best
