Janelle Monae - Many Moons

We're dancing free but we're stuck here underground
And everybody trying to figure they way out
Hey Hey Hey, all we ever wanted to say
Was chased erased and then thrown away
And day to day we live in a daze

We march all around til' the sun goes down night children
Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom for freedom
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind

Oh make it rain, ain't a thang and the sky to fall
The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up
And when the truth goes BANG the shouts splatter out
Revolutionize your lives and find a way out
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
You gotta ooo ah ah like a panther
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love
Na na na

So strong for so long
All I wanna do is sing my simple song
Square or round, rich or poor
At the end of day and night all we want is more
I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around
I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind

Oh make it rain, ain't a thang and the sky to fall
The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up
And when the truth goes BANG the shouts splatter out
Revolutionize your lives and find a way out
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
You gotta ooo ah ah like a panther
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love
Na na na

Civil rights, civil war
Hood rat, crack whore
Carefree, nightclub
Closet drunk, bathtub
Outcast, weirdo
Stepchild, freak show
Black girl, bad hair
Broad nose, cold stare
Tap shoes, Broadway
Tuxedo, holiday
Creative black, Love song
Stupid words, erased song
Gun shots, orange house
Dead man walking with a dirty mouth
Spoiled milk, stale bread
Welfare, bubonic plague
Record deal, light bulb
Keep back kid not corporate thug
Breast cancer, common cold
HIV, lost hope
Overweight, self esteem
Misfit, broken dream
Fish tank, small bowl
Closed mind, dark hold
Cybergirl, droid control
Get away now they trying to steal your soul
Microphone, one stage
Tomboy, outrage
Street fight, bloody war
Instigators, third floor
Promiscuous child, broken dream
STD, quarentine
Heroin user, coke head
Final chapter, death bed
Plastic sweat, metal skin
Metallic tears, mannequin
Carefree, night club
Closet drunk, bathtub
White house, Jim Crow
Dirty lies, my regards

And when the world just treats you wrong
just come with me and I'll take you home
No need to pack a bag
Who put your life in the danger zone
You running dropping like a rolling stone
No need to pack a bag
You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on
The old man dies and then a baby's born
Chan, chan, chan, change your life
And when the world just treats you wrong
just come with me and I'll take you home
Shan, shan shan shan gri la
Na na na na na na na na na na na
