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?» |
