Dance or Die (Feat. Saul Williams) - Janelle Monae
Cyborg android d-boy decoy
water wisdom tightrope vision
insight stronghold heartless
ice cold mystery
mastery solar battery
Some will pull the gun
because they want to be stars
Snatching up your life
into the blink of an eye
And if you see your cloning
on a street walking by
Keep a running for your life
cause only one will survive
War is in the street
and it's an eye for an eye
Run on for your life
or you can dance you can die
She's praying in the sand like
she's the last samurai
It's a stick up stick up
and a pick up pick up
Telling lies and telling lies
will put your face on fire
Run and tell your friends
to never dream never win
Ghettos keep a crying out
to streets full of zombies
Kids are killing kids
and then the kids join the army
Rising and a waking
yes sir here comes the sun
March into the war and
with the kick of the drum
The wiser simians have got the
bombs and the guns
So you might as well keep dancing
if you're not gonna run
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
Now I'm not saying
You can pull the trigger
or you can build you an ark
My words are rather
kind you keep them
held in contempt
Looking for a nine
and then a droid you can tempt
Zombie zombie zombie
where do dreams come from
A little bird is chirping
and she's singing a song
She's shaking em
and waking em and giving em mas
As the clock tick tocks
and the bodies drop
I'm gonna lay myself
so far way down right in your chops
Modern day example
of the wolf vs flock
Freedom necessary
and it's by any means
Frozen they were stolen
all the kings and queens
Sudanese and Congolese
who put the roll in the rock
From here to
Sudan Metropolis to Iraq
It's a minute to the dawn
and yet the sun ain't back
It's still a war in all the stress
and yes freaks will dance or die
A long long way to find the one
We'll keep on dancing till she comes
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
And if you wanna wake the sun
Just keep on marching to the drums
These dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
Oh these dreams are forever
Angel blossom gunshot
dodging dream bright beat
light breathe live help
give focus trance wake up dance
I'm praying for the man
sitting without much time
May he understand
the clock will never rewind
Wisen him and sharpen
him and give him a motto
hate no more
said he must hate no more
You see the daylight
comes into the kingdom
But the kingdom's full
of ignorant men
Just keep rebelling away
you gotta dream it away
Because the weatherman
on TV ain't creating the weather
This man wants
to see another jubilation
And that man
wants us in emancipation
And then there is the man
who wants a stronger nation
You see we really got to
and i think that we ought to
Protect the mind from degradation
Sow in the seeds of education
They run from us
are we that dangerous
There's a war in all the streets
and yes the freaks must dance or die
