Cyborg android
D-boy decoy
Water wisdom
Tightrope vision
Insight stronghold
Heartless ice cold
Mystery mastery (mastery)
Solar (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 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
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
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
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 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
Dance or Die (feat Saul Williams) - Janelle Monáe
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
