Super Queen
RuPaul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's here to set the bar
To shine her all star
Ain't takin' names 'cause she's a bad bitch, yeah
When they don't know what's up
Prepare to soak it up
It's clear she's here and she's a savage, mhm
She popping, she dipping, she spinning, rockstar
She dropping, she flipping, she winning so hard
You better believe that the power is real
She's a super queen (never miss a beat)
She's a super queen (landing on her feet, hey, hey, hey)
She's a super queen (turning up the heat)
She's a super queen (flawless victory, yeah)
When she walks in, into the club
Hits the stage, grab the mic, work the crowd-pool
She's enticing, mesmerizing
And she got the whole club raging
She's a hot girl, not a thot girl
More than just a one night stand girl
She is classy, never ashy
Only ballers in her VIP
She popping, she dipping, she spinning, rockstar
She dropping, she flipping, she winning so hard
You better believe that the power is real
She's a super queen (never miss a beat)
She's a super queen (landing on her feet, hey, hey, hey)
She's a super queen (turning up the heat)
She's a super queen (flawless victory, yeah)
Legs up in the sky, you'll see
Lips pumped like the old Kylie
Not elastic, bitch
But, damn, them thighs, they really do stretch
Pose, serve, now work
Giving body, no curves
She's a super queen (never miss a beat, hey, hey)
She's a super queen (landing on her feet, oh, oh)
She's a super queen (turning up the heat, hey, hey)
She's a super queen (baby, baby, baby, oh)
One, two, three, four
She walks the fashion when it hits the floor
Five, seven, back to six
She's got the talent, don't need the splits
Eight, nine, and she's giving you tens
Let's see the finals scores, bitch, it's Trin for the win
She's got the tucking moves with the looks so lean
You already know her name, she's a super queen
She's a super queen (never miss a beat, hey, hey)

Making jaws drop, don't stop, that's what it's about
She's a super queen
Pussy gonna pop, this bop, she rockin' the crowd
She's a super queen
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh)

Naomi's verse: about her legs.

She mentions her legs ONCE! LOL! She says they're in the sky, then moves on to her lips, her flexibility, and her lack of curves.
