[Chorus: Janelle Mone] Be still young heart Never will you fall apart Be still young heart Never will you fall apart Be wise my dear you must, learn to just be still Until you really really know Show me you're right, shine your light I wonder when will I know
[Big Boi] To hell if I don't pray Like a mannequin in the window I don't say a, word - I like to sit back, observe My heart says do not disturb, and yours is like a doorknob, everybody get a turn (yeah) Now that's a turnoff, girl, I'm not concerned More like the early bird tryin to get the worm worm But not on those terms, you got on my nerves Say I don't deserve you, you're gonna learn Treat it like a perm, leave it be or let it burn (burn) Eat 'em like an urr-ange, orange So when they on the verge of leavin it don't get borin Foreign trips are taken just to see your smiley faces, time's a-wastin And I don't like to waste no time You can be down or.. yeah
[Chorus]
[Janelle Mone] I love bein in love (bein in love) Then you let me down, turned my heart around Givin up on love, makes my ocean drown You lived in my heart Secret melodies haunt me at night Maybe lies and lullabies This is my last farewell You let me down
[Chorus]
[Big Boi] Yeah... From behind the Cadillac do'... Grip this wood, slide around real slow... Just thinkin, mind blown As I glare through the smoke tinted windows... And be still [Chorus]
The only love my heart approaches Your tender eyes fill mine with roses I drink your wine And never will my heart dry inside
Walking like a lonely fool in Prague Singing a love song and the words I wrote I wrote for two Gentle as a lullaby at night I hear you humming private melodies You're near
BaBopByeYa Where are you my darling? MyBopByeYa Can you hear me calling?
Rewind the clock, our time's approaching Give us the eyes to guide us most when We have no light to see throughout all our darkest days And troubled ways
Meet me Meet me Meet me at the door by the garden Meet me at the door by the garden Meet me at the door by the garden I'll be at the door
BaBopByeYa There's no one above you BaBopByeYa I won't leave without you
(Ojos miran hacia la luna Evitan un mundo tan triste Dominado bajo el odio Donde el amor no existe Dame en su reino refugio De la oscuridad peligrosa Espero en la esquina, Querida Busco la llamanda amorosa)
Like a lonely matador at night Fighting in the darkness for the light I won't stop until I hear the call of love
And when I'm alone, you are near to me You have made a home in my memory There you will abide for forever And I will keep you warm in the night
(Like a lonely matador at night Fighting in the darkness for the light)
(Ojos miran hacia la luna Busco la llamanda amorosa Ojos miran hacia la luna Busco la llamanda amorosa)
I heed echoes of your laughter in the corners of my mind While I memorize each detail of your intricate design In your hair, there is a symphony Your lips, a string quartet They tell stories of the Neon Valley Street Where we first met
Now somewhere time pursues us As we love in technicolor But I dwell in silence on your words Which move me like none other
This time I shall be unafraid And violence will not move me This time we will relax This time we will stay in our movie (I will be there for you)
I see beyond tomorrow This life of strife and sorrow My freedom calls and I must go I must go I must go I must go
I'm locked inside A land called Foolish Pride Where the man is always right He hates to talk but loves to fight Is that alright?
On real cold days He loans us lots of hate But he says that we must pay To take it all away Is that okay?
But I'm asking you, will you stay with me? In this land where we are free (Don't you know I know?) And I know it's rough And you've had enough But one day we'll be happy
And when I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes Hearts of hatred rule the land, while love is left aside Kill and bled the citizen, while music slowly dies I get frightened, I See, I get frightened, I
Oh how, oh how I need you, baby To keep me from going crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay
Oh how, oh how I need you, baby These people are so crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay
Fight (She's quick to fight) For her man but not her rights Even though it's 3005 When will we end this genocide? And that's not right
Her children cry No food to eat and afraid as flies The color black means it's time to die And nobody questions why 'Cause they're too scared to stop the man
But I'm asking you (I'm asking you) Eill you stay with me? (To stay with me) In this land where we are free And I know it's rough And you've had enough But one day we'll be happy
'Cause when I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles The writers and the artists all are paid to tell us lies They keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside
Oh how, oh how I need you, baby To keep me from going crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay
Oh how, oh how I need you, baby These people are so crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay
I can make a change I can start a fire Lord, make me love again Fill me with desire
I can make a change I can start fire Make me love again Lord, thank you for desire
And when I look into your pretty eyes, I almost want to cry I think about my life and I don't want to live a lie How I need you baby, I need you right by my side I need you tonight, I need you tonight
Yeah
How I need you, baby See, I can't let you go I need you On the other side On the other side
I love you so and I'll never let you go On the other side

We're dancing free, but we're stuck here underground (Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) And everybody trying to figure they way out (Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) Heh-heh-heh-hey, all we ever wanted to say Was chased, erased, and then blown away And day-to-day we live in a daze
We march all around till the sun goes down, night children, night children (Night children hid around) 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 thing and it's gonna 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 oo ah-ah like a panther) Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love? (Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na-na na)

[Saul Williams] Cyborg, android D-boy, decoy Water, wisdom Tightrope, vision (Oh, these dreams are forever) Insight, stronghold Heartless, ice cold (If you leave now or never) Mystery, mastery (mastery) Solar (solar), battery
[Janelle Monae] 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 (Oh, these dreams are forever)
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 (If you leave now or never) 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-cryin' till the streets full of zombies Kids are killing kids and then the kids join the army
Rising and a-waking, yes sir here come the sun March into the warring with the kick of the drum The wiser simians, they got the bomb and the guns So you might as well keep dancing if you're not gonna run
(Forever, forever, forever, forever) 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
(Forever, forever, forever, forever) And if you wanna wake the sun Just keep on marching to the drums These dreams are forever Oh these dreams are forever These dreams are forever
N-N-Now-now-now I'm not saying it's better to bailar You can pull the trigger or you 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
Kids are, "Zombie, zombie, zombie, where do dreams come from?" A little birdie chirping and she's singing a song She's shaking 'em and waking 'em and giving 'em mas As the clock tick-tocked and the bodies drop
I'm gonna lay myself so far way down right in your chops Modern day example of a wolf vs flock Freedom necessary and it's by any means Frozen they were stolen all the kings and the 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 a war in all the streets and yes these freaks will dance or die
(Forever, forever, forever, forever) 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
(Forever, forever, forever, 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
[Saul Williams] Angel, blossom Gunshot, dodging Dream, bright Beat, light Breathe, live Help, give Focus, trance Wake up, dance
[Janelle Monae] 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 weathermen you're seeing ain't creating the weather
This man wants to see a jubilation And that man wants us in emancipation And then there is the man who wants a stronger nation But 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 will dance or die!
(Forever, forever, forever, forever) 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
(Forever, forever, forever, 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
You Since that magic day We've been like magnets in a play We smash in, then pull away Every day (Every day)
You, you You're a jet, a flying gun You kill me softly with your sun You melt my wings, then call it fun I should run
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster, faster I should run (Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster and faster from your arms (Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster and faster I should run (Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster and faster from your arms (Ohhh)
I Watch my powers die Falling out of starry skies (Out starry skies) You kryptonite my life Every night (Faster, faster)
Oh the The ending of the road Dashing prince or horny toad? Who really ever knows? I should know
(Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster and faster I should run (Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster and faster from your arms (Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster and faster I should run (Ohhh faster, faster, faster, faster) Faster and faster from your arms (Ohhh)
Mmm yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah I'm runnin' I'm runnin' I'm runnin', runnin', runnin' (Shakin' like a schizo) I'm shakin' like Shakin' like a schizo ('lectric sheep) 'lectric sheep all over my beat (Dancing in the window) They dancin', dancin', dancin' in the window (My heart beats) My heart beats It beats for you and only you (It's kickin' like a kick drum) And it's kicking like a kick kick drum
(Am I free?) Am I a-free? Uh, am I a-free? (Just another weirdo) Or just another little weirdo? (Call me weak) Call me weak Or better yet, you can call me (Just call me your hero) You can call me your hero, baby
You can't clamp down all my good times I know right from wrong Kissing loving's feeling good It knocked this feeling down You hide your chainsaw deep in kisses That don't make it quiet You got me running, muttering, screaming Each and every night
Faster and faster I should run Faster and faster from your arms
Faster and faster I should run Faster and faster from your arms
Faster and faster I should run Faster and faster from your arms
Good morning, cy-boys and cyber girls! I am happy to announce that we have a star-crossed winner in today’s heartbreak sweepstakes. Android Number 57821, otherwise known as Cindi Mayweather, Has fallen desperately in love with a human named Anthony Greendown. And you know the rules! She is now scheduled for immediate disassembly!
