(WCB!) Yeah, listen up!
They talk, I walk, they watch, I shine.
Ruth is here, watch me rise!
They gather in the corners, whispers in the street
Trying to break a queen who refuses to retreat
Two beautiful girls, my heart and my soul
I provide for my babies, I’m in full control
They call me names, throw mud at my door
But every single day, I’m giving them more
They scream 'prostitute', they scream 'man snatcher' too
But I’m focused on the prize, and look at what I do!
Oh, Masika, see how I rise above the noise
Ruth is a queen, ignore the little naysayers
They stay at the bottom, stuck in their hate
While I’m moving forward, deciding my fate
They’ll never level up, they’ll never reach my height
My kids are the stars, burning so bright!
I keep the standards high, I don't look back
I’m on the highway, they’re stuck on the track
Every morning I wake, I’m building a dream
Ignoring the lies, the dark, and the scheme
They want me to fall, they want me to cry
But watch my success, watch me touch the sky
My daughters are queens in the making, you see
They’ll grow up to be, the best they can be!
Oh, Masika, see how I rise above the noise
Ruth is a queen, ignore the little boys
They stay at the bottom, stuck in their hate
While I’m moving forward, deciding my fate
They’ll never level up, they’ll never reach my height
My kids are the stars, burning so bright!
(Twende!) Let them talk, let them burn in their envy
My bank account grows, and my heart is plenty
They’re stuck in the mud, while I’m taking flight
Masika is shining, pure golden light!
(Bongo!) We rising!
One day they’ll envy the life that we made
When my girls are successful, you’ll all be afraid
You’ll look from the bottom, you’ll look from the floor
While I’m walking out through a much bigger door
Ruth is the name, respect the hustle and pride
I’ve got the heavens right on my side!
Oh, Masika, see how I rise above the noise
Ruth is a queen, ignore the little naysayers
They stay at the bottom, stuck in their hate
While I’m moving forward, deciding my fate
They’ll never level up, they’ll never reach my height
My kids are the stars, burning so bright!
Yeah, keep looking up from down there!
(Poa!) Masika on the top!
Ruth and the girls, forever shining.
(Tamu!) We out here!
(Ah ah!)
