Janelle Monáe - Dance or Die (feat. Saul Williams)
[Intro: Saul Williams and Janelle Monáe]
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
[Verse 1: Janelle Monáe]
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
[Verse 2: Janelle Monáe]
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
