[Intro – Both, stacked harmonies & whispers]
(Soft piano + finger snaps)
Ooh-oh-oh, yeah yeah…
Mmm, we rise again, again, again…
Queens don’t— (queens don’t),
Queens don’t fall.
(Ash high harmony)
Power in the rhythm, gold in the flame.
(Tee low harmony)
Strong when we’re silent, bold when we claim.
(Together)
Two hearts, one crown, one dream, one sound,
Queens don’t fall — we stand our ground.

[Verse 1 – Tee lead, Ash gentle backing harmonies]
They told me, “Girl, you should stay in your lane,”
But I paved my own road — diamonds in the rain.
Every time they doubted, I smiled through the pain,
Now my glow’s too bright — can’t contain.
(Ash echoes)
Too bright, too strong, too real — can’t chain.
I remember nights I questioned my worth,
But pressure made pearls, yeah, pain gave birth.
Turned the heartbreak into fuel for the soul,
Now I’m shining — that’s the goal.
(Ash hums)
Ooh, that’s the goal…
---
[Verse 1.2 – Ash lead, Tee soft echo ad-libs]
Said I couldn’t rise, but I knew I would,
Carved my name in stone, made it understood.
Every scar I wear is a part of my crown,
And if I fall — baby, I don’t stay down.
(Tee ad-libs)
Nah, we don’t stay down, we turn it around.
Every “too much,” every “too loud,”
That’s the sound of me standing proud.
My heart beats in rhythm with the drum,
I’m the storm — and the calm that comes.

[Pre-Chorus – Both, tight harmony build]
(Ash high, Tee low)
Can’t stop the glow, can’t dim the flame,
We rise again, remember the name.
We bend, we break, but through it all,
Queens don’t fall — queens don’t fall.
(Echo layering)
Ooh-ooh, no no… queens don’t fall.
---
[Chorus – Both, full harmony with call-and-response energy]
Ash (lead): We’re unstoppable — untouchable,
Tee (response): Uh-huh, unbreakable, unshakable.
Both (harmony):
Breaking down walls, we’ve seen it all,
But we rise tall — queens don’t fall.
Ash (melody):
Yeah, we shine through the dark like the stars above,
Tee (low harmony):
Every tear we cried turned to self-love.
Both:
We rise up strong, no fear at all,
We stand tall — queens don’t fall.
(Ad-lib echo: “No, we don’t, no, we don’t fall…”)

[Verse 2 – Ash soft lead, Tee harmonies humming underneath]
We walk through fire, barefoot grace,
Every challenge written on our face.
They say power looks better in a man’s hand,
We say power’s a woman — and she can.
(Tee low harmony)
Yeah, she can, she can.
Ash sings it smooth, like satin and smoke,
Every word we speak — unbroke.
We move with rhythm, we move with soul,
Every “almost” just made us whole.
(Ash whispers)
Whole again, whole again.

[Verse 2.2 – Tee lead, Ash layered response]
I used to doubt my light when the world got cold,
But my heart stayed warm, my story stayed bold.
Now I know strength ain’t always loud,
Sometimes it’s quiet — but always proud.
(Ash hums under)
Mmm, proud, proud, proud…
We came from the struggle, turned pain to art,
Wrote our
