Cornerstone Queen

Streetlight silver pon di zinc fence, a silent scar cross di night,
Same one mi used to stare at, dreamin' fi build mi own bright.
From Waterhouse concrete, mi soul cemented, strong and true,
Knowin' every struggle a a beam, fi mi empire me a drew.

[Chorus]
Mi build dis ting brick by brick, from concrete to di light,
Cornerstone Queen, nuh tek nuh chat, mi edifice stand strong an' bright.
Hear di bassline thump a promise, sound system a feel mi sway,
Every foundation laid with purpose, now di whole world see mi way.

[Verse 2]
Hear di early morning hustle, aroma a ackee an' saltfish fry,
Watch di sun climb 'pon di Kingston hills, reflection in a rearview mirror fly.
Dem seh di journey lonely, but mi find mi tribe 'pon di climb,
Each step a blueprint fi success, perfected 'til di final chime.

[Bridge]
Some try fi draw di blueprint off a mi design,
But a original architecture, di polished surface nuh decline.
From Waterhouse concrete, mi story reflect and shine so bold,
A new Kingston landmark, a truth untold.

[Outro]
Dem see di shine, dem hear di boom,
Cornerstone Queen, mi tek di room.
