Monáe, Janelle - Cold War Lyrics

Viajei nessa musica

amooooo

Better know what your fighting for, or else they will decide for you

A decade later and it has the same impact on my soul. We must have faith in love

2020.... this song is still in my playlist

The song's message is good, Ms. Monae's soulful performance is paramount, but the Director of this video is absolutely brilliant! Only focusing on her face makes seeing her clavicle a treat. This is in contrast to other music videos. Janelle Monae makes me have sympathy for the Fallen.

Such a great message. Love her vulnerability in this video.

Take me back to 2010 when life was simpler and music was better before it died past 2010! I miss this Janelle!

❤️❤️❤️

Excellent.

True love is not for the faint of heart...

I dance my ass off to this song and pray. Thank you for writing this song.
I know what I am living for... Love.

wooooooowwwwwwwwww i use to replay this in highschool just to shake the hate

I HEAR YA BUT I CAN B A COLD BITCH. DONT 2 BuT....👑🦓

What happened to this janelle monae?

DEUSA DA MINHA VIDAAAA

Perfect! Morning🖤🎤

Amo essa música e vc gosta 😂

Amo essa musica

You can see her pain. This is a good visual for the song. Everytime I hear it now I picture her breaking down.

Idk why I see grace jones in her face.

Regardless of what anyone says this music video is amazing. It’s incredibly thought provoking and well planned. The expression and camera angles are very well implemented.

If this song were to be released today it would still be ahead of its time.

So you think that I'm alone?
But being alone's the only way to be
When you step outside
You spend life fighting for your sanity

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?

If you want to be free
Below the ground's the only place to be
'Cause in this life
You spend time running from depravity

This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?

Bring wings to the weak
And bring grace to the strong
Make all evil stumbles as it flies in the world
All the tribes come and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night
And have faith in love.

I'm trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me!
And it hurts my heart
Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see?

This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold...
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

Do you know it's a cold, cold war?
Do you? Do you? Do you?

It's a cold, cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Don't you cry, when I say goodbye?

i get goosebumbs every single time when i watch this video. the song, the mimics, the emotions... i first heard this song 9 years ago, when i was 13 and it has impressed me that time too. and now, still preserves the same power. goosebumbs.... omg.

Still my favorite of Janelle’s.
This video always gives me chills.

This is absolutely amazing I freaking love Janelle Monáe

It is indeed

Música poderosa! Amo muito

i know what i'm fighting for now!!! thank you

Vous êtes un humain comme toute les femmes vous êtes ravissante et une belle femme

Tudo lindo, música e clip

I don't even understand this song yet. But her conviction in her own words is so strong that it touches my soul. First time seeing this in 2019

Issa hit🏁

Love song!💝💝💝💝💝

This Epic album should have won Best Album at the Grammy awards in 2010! The ArchAndroid is Janelle Monae Greatest Masterpiece!

music goddess

Anyone else remember when this song got popular because Arianna Grande tweeted about it

I thought she was the one .. ☹️

I always deeply connected to jannelle moneas music but didnt know why. Now i see it. As a black person especially as a woman our truthes has been harshly dismissed, and resulted in loss of employment and isolation. Our whole voice and identity has been restrained. Ive experienced it so many times that it hurt alot. That is part of the reason black people have t be strong cause we arent becky who will always find someone to save her and wipe her tears. Jannelle has always been ahead of her time.

9 Years later this song still beats most of the modern trends in my opinion, such an underated and impact song with the video to boot, the first time I saw this was on T.V and It Was Channel [V]

2019... Maravilhosa 🇧🇷

This is the video that made me fall in love with Jane.

In this video Janelle wore any clothes on

Powerful song pretty heartbreaking and sad

So powerful and soul shaking

One of the best songs ever made by anyone. Ever.

I have a feeling this will fall flat in light of the emotional nature of the song, but I love seeing a music video where you can tell that the singer understands their craft technically. She is an artist and a technician.

NO RACISM!!

Almost a decade later and I still get goosebumps listening to/watching this gem. ❤️

I was made to believe there's something wrong with me, and it hurts my heart...

Don’t say goodbye..Ohh noo bad dirty computer..I have to wipe off your memory..

WHY DIDNT YOU WARN ME NOT TO WATCH THIS...NOW IM HOPELESSLY CAPTIVATED BY YOUR ENCHANTING BEAUTY......

Whenever I feel lost, this is my jam.

If you want to be free?blow the ground is the only place to be.Wow that’s deep❤️

Omg youre so beautyful and this song means a lot to me. And egen more to you i think❤️

"I was made to believe there's something wrong with me." has an extra layer now that she has come out as bi/pan, and it still makes me cry

🙌❤🙌❤❤❤❤❤❤💞💞💞💞💞💞

i lose my war and i go to the hell. Btw nice music

So what's important about this song?

fml the meme comment on this video

the meaning of this song is to show people to be them selves because if not wars against people who choose to be different erupt like a volcano

@Michelle Harrison oh so it's just zoomer shit, carry on

@fml um..... Ok

Monae did it before Anne Hathaway made it cool.

Mükemmel

Listening in 2018 and still crying

Amazing. Truly amazing.

She's a fucking Goddess. Incredible song.

8 years later and this still brings tears to my eyes

How many people are just here for the meme?

We stan a legend

This makes me cry every time i hear it

I love her

Awesome.... One of my best song, ever, and I'm over 35

This song has a special place in my heart and somehow I keep coming back to it. I feel like it touches my soul and resonate very strongly with certain aspects of my life thank you Janelle Monae for this beautiful piece of art.

So you think that I'm alone
But being alone is the only way to be
When you step outside
You spin like fire for your sanity

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for

If you want to be free
Feet on the ground is the only place to be
Cause in this life
You spend time running from depravity

This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for

When wings to the weak
And bring grace to the strong
Make our legal stumble as it applies in the world
All the tripes come and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night
And have faith in the world

I'm trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart
Lord have mercy ain't it plain to see

That this is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

This is a cold
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

Do you know?
Is a cold cold
Do you?
Do you?
Ah ah ah ah

It's a cold, cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

Bye bye bye bye, don't you cry when I say goodbye

I Do!❤

She speaks the words I mean when I write I'm seriously interested in this woman she helps me put things in to prospective I think that's right it is actually LOL I need more of her stuff and videos no covers now I'll leave that to someone else 😎
