This week's song:

Because I am Queen

by India Arie

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't

Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I wont

Depending on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes

It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

[Chorus]

I'm not the average girl from your video

And I aint built like a supermodel

But I learned to love myself unconditionally

Because I am a queen

I'm not the average girl from your video

My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes

No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the India Arie

When I look in the mirror the only one there is me

Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be

And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me

My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm lovin' what I see!

[Chorus]

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?

My mama said a lady aint what she wears but what she knows

But I've come to the conclusion it's all an illusion 

Confusion's the name of the game

A misconception, a mass deception, something's gotta change

Don't be offended this is all my opinion

Aint nothin' that I"m saying law

This is a true confession of a life learned lesson

I was sent here to share with y'all

So get it where you fit it go on and shine

Clear your mind, now's the time

Put your salt on the shelf go on and love yourself

'Cause everything's gunna be alright

[Chorus]

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks

I don't need that to have a good time

Keep your expensive car and your caviar

All I need is my guitar

Keep your Cristal and your pistol

I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal

Keep your silicone, I prefer my own

What god gave me is just fine

[Chorus]

I love this song.  It's all about being self-empowered and loving yourself for who you are-flaws and all.  It's about believing that you are who you are supposed to be and that you are not a mistake because whatever/whoever created you makes no mistakes.  It's amazing!
