  • Yeah, yeah this is my palace, champagne in my chalice
    I got it all covered like a wedding band
    Wonderland, so my alias is Alice
    We gon' start a motherfuckin' pussy riot
    Or we gon' have to put 'em on a pussy diet
    Look at that, I guarantee I got 'em quiet
    Look at that, I guarantee they all inspired
    A-town, made it out there
    Straight out of Kansas City, yeah we made it out there
    Celebrated, graduated, made it pass/fail
    Sassy, classy, Kool-Aid with the kale
    Momma was a G, she was cleanin' hotels
    Poppa was a driver, I was workin' retail
    Kept us in the back of the store
    We ain't hidden no more, moonlit nigga, lit nigga

    Already got a Oscar for the casa
    Runnin' down Grammys with the family
    Prolly give a Tony to the homies
    Prolly get a Emmy dedicated to the
    Highly melanated, ArchAndroid orchestrated
    Yeah, we highly melanated, ArchAndroid orchestrated

    Yeah, Gemini they still jammin'
    Box office numbers, and they doin' outstandin'
    Runnin' outta space in my damn bandwagon
    Remember when they used to say I look too mannish
    Black girl magic, y'all can't stand it
    Y'all can't ban it, made out like a bandit
    They been trying hard just to make us all vanish
    I suggest they put a flag on a whole 'nother planet

    Jane Bond, never Jane Doe
    And I Django, never Sambo
    Black and white, yeah that's always been my camo
    It's lookin' like y'all gon' need some more ammo
    I cut 'em off, I cut 'em off, I cut 'em off like Van Gogh
    Now, pan right for the angle
    I got away with murder, no Scandal
    Cue the violins and the violas

    We gave you life, we gave you birth
    We gave you God, we gave you Earth
    We fem the future, don't make it worse
    You want the world? Well, what's it worth?
    Emoticons, Decepticons, and Autobots
    Who twist the plot?
    Who shot the sheriff, then fled to Paris
    In the darkest hour, spoke truth to power?
    Made a fandroid outta yo girlfriend
    Let's get caught downtown in the whirlwind
    And paint the city pink, paint the city pink
    And tuck the pearls in, just in case the world end

    And nigga, down dawg
    Nigga move back, take a seat, you were not involved
    And hit the mute button
    Let the vagina have a monologue
    Mansplaining, I fold em like origami
    What's a wave, baby? This a tsunami
    For the culture, I kamikaze
    I put my life on a life line
    If she the G.O.A.T. now, would anybody doubt it?
    If she the G.O.A.T. now, would anybody doubt it?
    Do anybody got it? Do anybody got it?
    I say anybody got it? Writer/s: David Axelrod, Janelle Monae Robinson, Nana Tuffuor, Nathaniel III Irvin
