Q.U.E.E.N. |
Girl, this is craziness |
Let me tell you |
I can’t believe all of the things they say about me Walk in the room they throwing shade left to right |
They be like, «Ooh, she serving 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? |
Am I a freak for getting down? |
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? |
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?» |
