Chords for Queen Naija - The Official Story — Told By Her

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] My name is Queen Nija.
_ _ _ I don't think [Ab] most people realize yet that Queen is actually my first name, [Eb] or how much
[Bb] power my mother gave me [Fm] by naming me that.
[Gm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ My uncle used to tell my mom, she's going to be a [Eb] star, and that's a good name to see in lights.
_ _ [Ab] _
She always said she envisioned it, and what though, she [Eb] didn't know.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ [Gm] I didn't always know either.
[Ab] _
_ But I'm evolving over time, and people will see how I went [Eb] from nothing to finding myself
in a church.
_ _ _ [Ab] _
When I was younger, no one called me Queen, because [Eb] I was so little.
_ [Fm] Everybody in the [Gm] neighborhood called me Nija, [Ab] my middle name.
_ _ _ When I started singing in [Eb] high school, at football games and talent shows, _ [Ab] Queen was
the more official name.
_ So I went by that for the [Eb] first time.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _
[N] _ _ _ When I divorced my ex-husband, I gave [Fm] up everything.
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
[F] The only experience [Gb] I knew up to that point was [Eb] one built between the two of us.
_ [Fm] _ _ I mean, [Ebm] we shared a YouTube channel, _ [F] an [Gb] Instagram. _
We shared [F] everything.
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Bb] We built a successful [Abm] brand.
_ [Cm] Or so I [Gb] thought, _ until [Eb] everything failed. _ _ _
_ [Fm] That's when I created my own [Ebm] YouTube channel.
[F] When it came time for me to release my [Gb] first single, I wrote Medicine [Eb] by Queen Nija. _
_ [Bb] That became the birth of my destiny, [Abm] a new beginning, [Db] and a new world of [Gb] music. _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] It's crazy to see how many people want to see me.
I [Bb] thought what I used to [Db] do on [Abm] YouTube, putting our [Eb] relationship on display, [Gb] was my [Eb] path.
Because everybody loves love.
_ I [Bbm] believe that's why so many people followed us.
[Abm] But people have seen my [Eb] story, and a lot of women go through the same [Gb] thing, [Db] betrayal.
_ [Eb]
And I [Gbm] added forgiveness to [Bbm] it.
_ And [A] I've been rewarded [Abm] with more happiness and more followers than ever.
[Gb] _ Men and women are inspired by that, [F] because you can do it too.
You can [Bb] take a bad situation that everybody goes through and turn it into your [Abm] dream. _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I have a bigger purpose here.
_ _ It's not just creating R&B music to relate to people and writing from my life experiences.
_ That's just a way for me to express myself. _
_ _ But my ultimate goal, and I don't know how it's going to happen or when it's going to
happen, is to lead anybody I can to God, any way I [E] can.
_ And I know that R&B right now is not the [Ebm] ideal way forward.
Ain't nobody going to hear medicine and think about going to church.
[Db] I understand that.
_ But I'm evolving over time, and people [Eb] will see how God showed me His grace through [Abm] my
mistakes, and how I was able to change [E] and connect to Him.
_ At the end of the day, as long as I can get [Ebm] His name heard, God's name I mean, Jesus,
[Db] _ my job will be done. _
_ Not done, [Eb] but I will have fulfilled [Abm] my gift.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
