I can't 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 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 queen
|
Am I a freak for getting
|
down queen
|
I'm cutting 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
|
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
|
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
|
|
