Q.U.E.E.N. by Janelle MonĂ¡e & Erykah Badu

I can't believe
All of the things they say about me
Walk in the room
They throwing shade left to right

She serving face
And I just tell them
Cut me up
And get down
They call us dirty
'Cause we break
All (1)________ rules now
And we just came to act a fool
Is that all right (girl, that's alright)
They be (2)________ (ooh)
Let them
Eat cake
But we eat wings and (3)__________ them bones
On the ground
Am I a (4)__________ (am I)
For (5)______________ around (a freak)
Am I a freak (queen)
For getting down (to me)

Don't cut me (6)________ (no)
And yeah I wanna be
Wanna be (queen)
Is it peculiar
That she (7)__________ 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 them, no we ain't
And get down
I heard this life is just a play
With no rehearsal
I wonder will this be
My (8)__________ 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 (9)______________ 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 (10)____________ am I good enough
For your heaven
Say (11)________ your god accept me
In my black and white
Will he approve
The way
I'm made
Or (12)____________ I reprogram, deprogram and get down
Am I a freak
For dancing around (wanna judge me)
Am I a freak
For getting down

Don't cut me down
And yeah I wanna be
Wanna be (queen)

Even if it (13)__________ others uncomfortable

I will (14)________ who I am

Even if it makes other uncomfortable

I will (15)________ who I am

Shake till the break of dawn
Don't mean to sing so tough
I can't (16)________ 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 (17)________ you another way
Been (18)____________ for far too long
Come home and sing your song
But you (19)__________ 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)

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 (20)____________ made illegal
They keep us underground
Working hard for the greedy
But when it's time to pay
They turn (21)____________ and (22)________ us needy
My crown too heavy
Like the Queen Nefertiti
Gimme (23)________ my pyramid
I'm trying to free Kansas City
Mixing masterminds
Like your name Bernie Grundman
Well I'mma keep leading
Like a young (24)______________ Tubman
You can take my wings
But I'm (25)__________ going fly
And (26)________ 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 keep selling hope
We rising up now
You gotta (27)________ you gotta cope
Will you be electric sheep
Electric ladies will you sleep

Or will you preach
