Silence! Now listen

I'm a show up queen

Show you what I mean

'Cause I'm in these streets

Jan's got something to say

Everybody jokes, I'm so nice nice nice

But I love me, so I don't think twice

I'm real, it's how I feel

My positive outlook, you just can't steal

I'm peppy peppy peppy, that's my energy

Want it all the time, that's how I be

So get out of my head and shake my junk

You know what mama ru said: Bring my funk!

They call you a freak

For thinking that you're meek

Stand with me and be proud

Time to shine and get lo-lo-lo-loud

Off with me and they'll see

You the queen they wanna be

Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ha, bitch!

Hey! This ain't just a lot of talk

You know we gon' walk the walk

When they ring, answer the call

I'm a show up queen

Show you what I mean

'Cause I'm in these streets

Better show up, queen

Better make a scene

Till they listenin'

Listen up, I got something to say

Wake up, wake up and I'm feeling away

Gotta shake this thing, here's what I say

I'm good, I'm worthy, I was born to be great

Don't let no self-doubt get up in my way

It's all right, you okay, don't stay in that place

Feel your feelings, take a moment

Then you throw it away

Do what your grandmama taught you

And let your light lead the way

Ooh, child! I guess it's my turn

Let me introduce myself, I'm tkb

I'm a bad mama jama from the south

Started from the bottom now I'm in the lead

If you blink, I'm gon' end up with the crown

I-I-I overcome depression, I'm living in my truth

If it can happen for me, well, it can happen for you

I'ma lead, I'ma fight, I'ma speak up for what's right

Positivity is fierce when you know your status, right?

Hey! This ain't just a lot of talk

You know we gon' walk the walk

When they ring, answer the call

I'm a show up queen

Show you what I mean

'Cause I'm in these streets

Better show up, queen

Better make a scene

Till they listenin'

I'ma show up, show up

Then I'll show 'em up some more

Know what, know what?

Hit you when I'm out the door

I'm a show up queen

Show you what I mean

'Cause I'm in these streets

You know we show up, we stand up

We got stuff we stand up for too

Let's do it, girl

Ooh, I'll tell you what

When they down, I'm standing up

Eureka's loud, five hundred pounds and proud

More than my size or the standard of beauty

Took me thirty-mh-mh years just to know that I'm worthy

Haters stop and say she's polarizing

But baby, I wake up and started realizing

Growth is the word, no need to panic

Equal rights and self-love is the true pandemic

Size 16, never gonna lose

Kick to the sky, even in potato shoes

Mama jo coming through

I was a short fat kid with a real limp wrist

Held all of my emotions in a balled up fist

I didn't wanna speak with my sissy lisp

Chubby, gay and country, well, I think you get the gist

I didn't wanna show up 'cause I knew that I'd be dissed

But if I didn't show up, look at what y'all would've missed

Who'd have thought I grow up to accomplish all of this

Now my haters all are pissed so kiss my grits

Hey! This ain't just a lot of talk

You know we gon' walk the walk

When they ring, answer the call

Ooh, I'll tell you what

When they down, I'm standing up

Ooh, no matter what

When they call, I'm showing up, yeah yeah

You better giddy up or giddy out

Showing up y'all, and I'm doing it with style

Stomping in stiletto heels and I'm slaying every mile

When I'm driven by my ego, I got all my feelings hurt

Took a bite of humble pie now I'm putting in the work

Gotta keep my head up, try dancing with the rankers

There's a whole lot of beauty waiting after all the pain

I'm a queen on my way, keep growing in my glow up

And they all best believe I'm showing out when I show up

Hey! This ain't just a lot of talk

You know we gon' walk the walk

When they ring, answer the call

Ooh, I'll tell you what

When they down, I'm standing up

Ooh, no matter what

When they call, I'm showing up, yeah yeah

I'ma show up, show up

Then I'll show 'em up some more

Know what, know what?

Hit you when I'm out the door

Ooh, I'll tell you what

When they call, I'm showing up, yeah yeah

United we stand, divided we fall

So let's do this thing together

One more time

I'm a show up queen

Ooh, I'll tell you what

Show you what I mean

When they down, I'm standing up

Better show up, queen

Ooh, no matter what

Better make a scene

When they call, I'm showing up, yeah yeah

I'ma show up, show up

Then I'll show 'em up some more

Know what, know what?

Hit you when I'm out the door

I'm a show up queen

Ooh, I'll tell you what

Show you what I mean

When they call, I'm showing up, yeah yeah

I'm a show up queen, yeah yeah
