Monáe, Janelle - Q.U.E.E.N. Lyrics
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's serving face."
And I just tell 'em, cut me up, and get 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 (queen)
Is it peculiar that she twerk in the mirror?
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 cutting up, don't cut me down
Any yeah I wanna be, wanna be (queen)
Hey brother can you save my soul from the devil?
Say is it weird to like the way she wear her tights? (but I like it)
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 program and get down?
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
And yeah I wanna be wanna be (queen)
Even if it makes others uncomfortable
I wanna love who I am
Even if it makes others uncomfortable
I will love who I am
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
Pharaohs 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 this melody
Will show you another way
Been tryin' for far too long
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 'cause 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?

I remember listening to this song in high school when I felt bad about myself. I never rlly got a lot of guys like my friends did and ppl thought I was weird, and i used to feel bad about it even tho I played it off as nothing. But this song made me embrace my weird and learn to accept myself😊😊and now more than ever, as a newly formed adult struggling to find my way in the world I rlly needed to hear a song like this💖
I love this song I wish it got more prays
As great as the song is, I felt that ending in my soul. She's incredible.

Wooooooowwww 😍😍😍😍😍🥺
This is the first song of hers that I actually like. The music it's self is very well put together.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
She was so classy then💔
fan for years. hard times recently . back to pump myself up pre show cause im now following my dreams of stand up comedy
you know the theory of little red riding hood is that she is the wolf.. she's running and hiding from her dark side the facade is she's a sweet little girl.. aww that " pretty little liar" she's a "mean" bad mamma jamma "girl". Me I come off in a passive aggressive city as a menace. no i'm passionate you see that's my exterior i'm that chirping canary see... that's what i tried to hide. because if you went to my stomping grounds. you'd see common sense will tell you in the heartland love is what gets you killed. kindness for weakness
time travel with my icloud
I love you😍😍💕💕💕
I give her props, I'm really felling this Siesta 2020
Still bumping in 2020 🙌🏽😍

She IS the QUEEN
GOD DAMN!
JENELL......AM...I....
Jidenna dancing in the back is a mood lmaoooo
I’ve watched this video for 6 years & never noticed Isis from St. Beauty is in the video.
She made a few cameos in other Monae vids, just never noticed her here
You will always be a masterpiece to me.. hahaha. Electric ladies unite! #divinefeminine #divinequeens #divinefamily #godisinclusive #towhosoeverwill 👑❤👑❤👑❤👑❤👑❤🇺🇸 #newearth #newparadigm #dontkillthemessenger
She is so talented and beautiful
Erykah Badu is such a queen.
Is she LGBT?
Janelle Monae has been out as Pansexual for a few years and recently came out as non-binary
I’m telling my kids she’s the girl version of Michal Jackson!
Every person needs. Janelle Monae, Erykah Badu, Lizzo, and Sa Roc in their lives.
