ICON: Janelle Monáe


Are we a lost generation or 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 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 Grudman
Well I´mma keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman

You can take my wings but I´m still gonna fly

And even when you edit me the booty don´t lie
Yeah, I´mma keep sangin´, 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 dope, we´re gonne keep selling hope
We riding up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope
Will you be electric sheep? Electric ladies, will you sleep?
Or will you preach?
