In “Kings & Queens Pt.2,” Saweetie raps, “I’m a queen, I’m a boss, I’m a brat / Hella independent, I get this, I get that,” and she continues, “My name on they lips, my name on they minds / How I take it from the block to the Hollywood sign.” Max finishes the song with a famous line, “If all of the kings had their queens on the throne / We would pop champagne and raise a toast.“
“Kings & Queens Pt.2” is a hymn of gender equality and encourages all women to be fearless and unapologetically themselves. Click the link down below to listen to the full song.
The trio has never collaborated before, but their newest song only proves that we can’t wait for them to release more songs together.
I am an incoming junior at the UCLA College of Letters and Science. Through my love and appreciation for literature, social justice, feminism, public speaking, and writing, I am planning on pursuing a career in immigration and public interest law. I want to help those who are either the victims of the system or discrimination because I wholeheartedly believe that the purpose of my life is to help others and take cases that nobody else is willing to take.
