Da Feel Great Queen
Queen Rasheeda Ali
Don't let the grey hairs fool you. I'm still the Queen!
The story
For years, Queen Rasheeda Ali has encouraged listeners over the radio, lifting spirits with songs and conversations that helped people through their days.
What many never realized is that the voice behind the microphone had battles of her own.
This song tells her story.
Not just the struggles—but also the victory.
When you hear this song, you’re not just listening to music.
You’re hearing the testimony of a woman who kept believing, kept fighting… and now keeps dancing.
My prayer is simple:
May these songs find the people who need them most today.
If that’s you…
Welcome.
And if someone you love is fighting a battle of their own, I’d be honored if you’d share Rasheeda’s story, Katherine’s story, or any of the Stories In Purple testimonies with them.
Because…
The stories inspire the songs. The songs inspire new stories.
Lyrics
Late at night, couldn’t sleep at all Pain in my hip, down my leg would crawl Every night, wake me from my dreams Didn’t know life was burstin’ at the seams
Doctor said, “Queen, you better slow it down…” Blood pressure high, two-twenty-five pounds Pre-diabetic… yeah, the signs were there But I still had fire, honey, I still had flair
Somebody told me “There’s another way…” And all praises to Allah, I listened Look at me today
Now I’m The Feel Great Queen (Go ‘head Queen!) Feelin’ better than I’ve ever been (Go ‘head Queen!)
Forty pounds down and I’m steppin’ again Pep in my step, glide in my stride again No more pain when I lay down at night And baby, I’m shining bright
Fifty years behind that microphone Playin’ Southern Soul and bringing folks home From New York City down to Georgia roads Allah kept purpose deep inside my soul
Seventy-eight and I still ain’t through Still got flavor, still got moves Mind still sharp and my spirit still clean Don’t let these gray hairs fool you, baby I’m still the Queen
Now when I say “Feel Great…” Y’all say “Queen!”
FEEL GREAT! (QUEEN!)
Still outside! (QUEEN!)
Still lookin’ good! (QUEEN!)
Still makin’ moves! (QUEEN!)
Still got rhythm! (QUEEN!)
I done cried real tears I done survived hard years Buried pain deep inside my soul
But I kept on movin’ Kept on groovin’ Wouldn’t let life steal my glow
From “Cruisin’ With The Queen” To “The Feel Great Queen” Still ridin’ through the city With wisdom in my voice and joy all over me
Now I’m The Feel Great Queen (Go ‘head Queen!) No pain pills and more energy (Go ‘head Queen!)
A1C coming down little by little And I’m dancing like the young girls wiggle Got my smile back, got my peace back too If it happened for me… It can happen for you.
