C#m7          D#m7
I met this guy named Michael, had a motorcycle
                    G#m7
Thought that he was cool, he always quoted from the Bible
                 C#m7              D#m7
But he had a baby mama who was a prima donna
              G#m7
Had to let him go 'cause I ain't really with the drama
              C#m7           D#m7
I was feeling Keith with the gold teeth
             G#m7
But he was a thug and always running from police
              C#m7            D#m7
He was always trying to get me in the sheets
              F#
Wasn't good enough for me


[Chorus]
                C#m7
I don't want to settle for less
D#m7
'Cause I'm an empress
G#m7
 I need the best
               F#
Not the runner up
C#m7    D#m7            G#m7
 'Cause that's what I deserve
   F#            C#m7
I don't want to settle for less
D#m7
 'Cause I'm an empress
      G#m7
Got to big up my chest
            F#
Even if it hurts
C#m7    D#m7            Emaj7
 When a woman knows her worth


[Verse 2]
       D#m7          C#m7          D#m7
So I started seeing Jamie, he acted like a baby
                G#m7
Always playing video games and being lazy
                    C#m7          D#m7
Smoked too much marijuana, stuck in his pajamas
                G#m7
Always dropping wisdom like he was the Dalai Lama
              C#m7            D#m7
Was talking to Tim, he couldn't let me in
             G#m7                               F#
Said he got burned and now he doesn't trust women
        C#m7           D#m7
I can't pay for somebody else's sin
             F#
Gotta find another man


[Chorus]
                C#m7
I don't want to settle for less
D#m7
'Cause I'm an empress
G#m7
 I need the best
               F#
Not the runner up
C#m7    D#m7            G#m7
 'Cause that's what I deserve
   F#            C#m7
I don't want to settle for less
D#m7
 'Cause I'm an empress
      G#m7
Got to big up my chest
            F#
Even if it hurts
C#m7    D#m7            F#
 When a woman knows her worth


[Bridge]
Emaj7    D#m7
 When a woman knows her worth
     Emaj7     D#m7
She waits for someone she deserves
     C#m7 D#m7
She's first
     Em7
Even if it hurts


[Chorus]
          C#m7
Won't to settle for less
D#m7
 'Cause I'm an empress
G#m7
 I need the best

Not the runner up
C#m7    D#m7            G#m7
 'Cause that's what I deserve
   F#            C#m7
I don't want to settle for less
D#m7
 'Cause I'm an empress
      G#m7
Got to big up my chest

Even if it hurts
C#m7    D#m7            F#
 When a woman knows her worth

                C#m7
I don't want to settle for less
D#m7
 'Cause I'm an empress
G#m7
 I need the best
               F#
Not the runner up
C#m7    D#m7            G#m7
 'Cause that's what I deserve
   F#            C#m7
I don't want to settle for less
D#m7
 When I'm an empress
      G#m7
Got to big up my chest
            F#
Even if it hurts
C#m7    D#m7            F#
 When a woman knows her worth
