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 'cuz I'm willing and I'm able
Categorize me I defy every label
And while you're selling **** 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 can't believe I love 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

They call us dirty 'cuz we break all your rules 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

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 coming up don't cut me down

Yeah I wanna be

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 the programming 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

Yeah I wanna be wanna be

Even if it makes others uncomfortable

I wanna love who I am

Even if it makes other uncomfortable

I will love who I am

Dance 'til the break of dawn

Don't mean a thing so duh
I can't take it no more
Baby we in tuxedo groove

Monae 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 there's melody

Show you another way

This joints for fight unknown

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
