Q U E E N - Janelle Monáe
I cant believe I love the things they say about me
Walk in the room they throwing shade left to right
They be like ooh she's so fun face
And I just tell em cut me up and get down
They call us dirty 'cuz we break all your rules down
And we just came to act a fool
Is that all right (Girl that's alright)
They be like Ooh let them eat cake
But we eat wings and throw them bones on the ground
Am I a freak for dancing around (queen)
Am I a freak for getting down (queen)
I'm coming up don't cut me down
Yeah I wanna be wanna be
Is it peculiar that she twerk in the mirror
And am I weird to dance alone late at night
And is it true we're all insane
And I just tell 'em No we ain't" and get down
I heard this life is just a play with no rehearsal
I wonder will this be my final act tonight
And tell me what's the price of fame
Am I a sinner with my skirt on the ground
Am I a freak for dancing around
Am I a freak for getting down
I'm coming up don't cut me down
Yeah I wanna be
Hey brother can you save my soul from the devil
Say is it weird to like the way she wear her tights
And is it rude to wear my shades
Am I a freak because I love watching Mary (Maybe)
Hey sister am I good enough for your heaven
Say will your God accept me in my black and white
Will he approve the way I'm made
Or should I reprogram the programming and get down
Am I a freak for dancing around
Am I a freak for getting down
I'm coming up don't cut me down
Yeah I wanna be
Even if it makes others uncomfortable
I wanna love who I am
Even if it makes other uncomfortable
I will love who I am
Dance 'til the break of dawn
Don't mean a thing so duh
I can't take it no more
Baby we in tuxedo groove
Monae and E Badu
Crazy in the black and white
We got the drums so tight
Baby here comes the freedom song
Too strong we moving on
Baby there's melody
Show you another way
This joints for fight unknown
Come home and sing your song
But you gotta testify
Because the booty don't lie
No no the booty don't lie
Oh no the booty don't lie
Yeah
Yeah Let's flip it
I don't think they understand what I'm trying to say
I asked a question like this
"Are we a lost generation of our people
Add us to equations but they'll never make us equal
She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel
So why ain't the stealing of my rights made illegal
They keep us underground working hard for the greedy
But when it's time pay they turn around
And call us needy
My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
Gimme back my pyramid I'm trying to free Kansas City
Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grundman
Well I'm gonna keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman
You can take my wings but I'm still goin' fly
And even when you edit me the booty don't lie
Yeah keep singing and I'mma keep writing songs
I'm tired of Marvin asking me "What's Going On
March to the streets 'cuz I'm willing and I'm able
Categorize me I defy every label
And while you're selling dope
We're gonna keep selling hope
We rising up now you gotta deal you gotta cope
Will you be electric sheep
Electric ladies will you sleep
Or will you preach "
