Q.U.E.E.N. by Janelle Monáe & Erykah Badu

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 them
Cut me up
And get down
They call us dirty
'Cause we break
All your rules now
And we just came to act a fool
Is that all right (girl, that's alright)
They be (1)________ (ooh)
Let them
Eat cake
But we eat wings and throw them bones
On the ground
Am I a freak (am I)
For dancing around (a freak)
Am I a freak (queen)
For getting down (to me)
I'm cutting up (don't cut me)
Don't cut me down (no)
And yeah I wanna be
Wanna be (queen)
Is it peculiar
That she (2)__________ in the mirror
And am I weird to dance alone
Late at night
And is it true
We're all
Insane
And I just (3)________ them, no we ain't
And get down
I heard (4)________ life is just a play
With no rehearsal
I wonder will (5)________ 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)
Am I a freak
For getting down (don't judge me)
I'm cutting up
Don't cut
Me down (judge me now)
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 (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, deprogram and get down
Am I a freak
For dancing around (wanna judge me)
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 other uncomfortable

I will love who I am

Shake till the break of dawn
Don't mean to sing so tough
I can't take it no more
Baby, me and tuxedo crew
Pharaohs, it ain't my tomb
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 (6)__________ 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)

I asked a (7)________________ 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 (8)________ it's time to 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'mma keep leading
Like a young Harriet Tubman
You can take my wings
But I'm still (9)__________ fly
And even when you edit me
The booty don't lie
Yeah keep singing
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 (10)________ 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
