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 'cause we break
all your rules down
and we just came
to act a fool is
that 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
And yeah I wanna be
wanna be queen
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 cutting up
don't cut me down
And 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
And is it rude
to wear my shades
Am I a freak
because I love
watching Mary
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
deprogram and get down
Am I a freak
for dancing around
Am I a freak
for getting down
I'm cutting up
don't cut me down
And yeah I wanna be
wanna be queen
Even if it makes
others uncomfortable
I will love who I am
Even if it makes
others uncomfortable
I will love who I am
Ohh shake 'til the break of dawn
Don't mean to sing so tough
I can't take it no more
Baby me and 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 'droids for far too long
Come home and sing your song
But you gotta testify
because the booty don't lie
No 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
Yeah uh
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'ma 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 I'ma keep singing
I'ma 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
