MAKDA = QUEEN OF SHEBA
*Arabic Bilqīs, Ethiopian Makeda
lyrics
Bow down to the queen
Call me empress Makeda
Queen of Sheba
Bow down to the queen
I'm the keeper of history
You negus can't sit with me
No
Tried to control me
But your tricks could not hold me down
You thought you would mould me
Forgot
I'm the one wearing the crown
I'm the one
I'm the one
Yeah
Bow down to the queen
Call me empress Makeda
Queen of Sheba
Bow down to the queen
I'm the daughter of mystery
You negus can't sit with me
No
I am black
Yeah
Black as the sun
Obsidian
Obsidian
I am black
Yeah
Black as the sun
Obsidian
Obsidian
Bow down to the queen
Call me empress Makeda
Queen of Sheba
Bow down to the queen
I'm the keeper of history
You negus can't fuck with me
No

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
