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 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
Am I a freak for getting down
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
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
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
Shake '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
Wo
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 **** 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 "
