Lyrics
She walked in the room, and the silence broke.
Not cause she shouted, cause her soul spoke.
She was born with a voice that could pop the sky.
Didn't need no crown to testify From Detroit pews to the global state She sang her truce
Taught a generation how to demand A little R-E-S-B-C-T take a stand Oh, hands raised, hearts on fire That woman sang like a gospel choir Didn't just sing love, she made it known Taught every song
The preacher of soul, every note she hit made the broken whole.
Say her name, Marita.
Built her throne on church and flame, a voice so strong.
Ain't need no gloss Every line she sang came with a cause From heartbreak blues to feminist violence
She is the blueprint Soul ain't sold Unless you hear her in it She sang our truth She held our pain She made us feel She broke the chains
The queen still sings beyond her death Long live the soul she gave The voice, the strength, the truth
That's royalty, baby, say her name
