Janelle Monáe - Django Jane Lyrics






This is my palace, champagne in my chalice
I got it all covered like a wedding band
Wondaland, so my alias is Alice
And we gon' start a motherfuckin' pussy riot
Or we gon' have to put 'em on a pussy diet
Look at that, I guarantee I got 'em quiet
Look at that, I guarantee they all inspired
A-town, made it out there
Straight out of Kansas City, yeah we made it out there
Celebrated, graduated, made it pass/fail
Sassy, classy, Kool-Aid with the kale
Momma was a G, she was cleanin' hotels
Poppa was a driver, I was workin' retail
Kept us in the back of the store
We ain't hidden no more, moonlit nigga, lit nigga

Already got a Oscar for the casa
Runnin' down Grammys with the family
Prolly give a Tony to the homies
Prolly get a Emmy dedicated to the
Highly melanated, ArchAndroid orchestrated
Yeah, we highly melanated, ArchAndroid orchestrated

Yeah, Jamanati they still jammin'
Box office numbers, and they doin' outstandin'
Runnin' outta space in my damn bandwagon
Remember when they used to say I look too mannish
Black girl magic, y'all can't stand it
Y'all can't ban it, made out like a bandit
They been trying hard just to make us all vanish
I suggest they put a flag on a whole 'nother planet

Jane Bond, never Jane Doe
And I Django, never Sambo
Black and white, yeah that's always been my camo
It's lookin' like y'all gon' need some more ammo
I cut 'em off, I cut 'em off, I cut 'em off like Van Gogh
Now, pan right for the angle
I got away with murder, no scandal
Cue the violins and violas

We gave you life, we gave you birth
We gave you God, we gave you Earth
We fem the future, don't make it worse
You want the world? Well, what's it worth?
Emoticons, Decepticons, and Autobots
Who twist the plot?
Who shot the sheriff, then fled to Paris
In the darkest hour, spoke truth to power?
Made a fandroid outta yo' girlfriend
Let's get caught downtown in the whirlwind
And paint the city pink, paint the city pink
And tuck the pearls in, just in case the world end

And nigga, down dawg
Nigga move back, take a seat, you were not involved
And hit the mute button
Let the vagina have a monologue
Mansplaining, I fold 'em like origami
What's a wave, baby? This a tsunami
For the culture, I kamikaze
I put my life on a life line
If she the G.O.A.T. now, would anybody doubt it?
If she the G.O.A.T. now, would anybody doubt it?
Do anybody got it? Do anybody got it?
I say anybody got it?

    Okay but what is no one talking about how GENIUS “And hit the mute button, let the vagina have a monologue” is. There’s literally so much meaning behind that line.

  5. V.... D....

    Quite astonishing.
    The visuals stunning
    Miss Monae beautiful and classy
    The music is sensational; she laid down that rap for all rappers; she told her story.
    I didnt want music to stop.

    Lauryn Hill has a worthy successor.

  6. V.... D....

    Lit nigga lit nigga.
    The Boss Lady

    I'm pissed that this was the most meaningful song on her album, yet her other title tracks received 5x more praise and acknowledgement.

  27. G.... H....

    It's a song. It's entertaining. But don't live your life based on words from an entertainer. She left that set, got paid, and who knows what she does behind the scenes. It's just a song. Enjoy it.

  76. L.... J....

    “We got away with murder, no scandal. Cue the violins and the Violas”

    **spontaneously combusts**

    L.... J....

    Real Shade Her lyrics are so layered. "We ain't Hidden no more, Moonlit nigga" because she wrote this song a year after she was in HIDDEN FIGURES and MOONLIGHT, both Oscar winning films. Or "Hit the mute button, let the vagina have a monologue" which references Eve Enslers Vagina Monologues on sexual assault. She's telling guys to let MeToo speak. Or when she says "for the culture, I kamikaze, I put my life on the life....line". which is too genius to explain. Incredibly underrated

  77. J.... C....

    2019 STILL here

  78. D.... ....

    Amazing 👌🏽 ❤
    " This's my palace "

  79. V.... M....

    JANELLE NEED TO DO A WHOLE RAP ALBUM.

  80. I.... E....

    I want brunch with her and Belleville

  81. m.... j....

    Ladies come on let's build not tear each other down

  82. m.... j....

    I love you forever for this song and of course the rest of your song respect

  83. D.... H....

    I strongly believe that in a good 15 years this is what every young kid could be blasting again

  84. K.... F....

    "Emoticons, Decepticons, and Autobots who twist the plot" -- I love this lyric. She's telling us that the "good guys", the Establishment and Law Enforcement ("Autobots"), are consistently lying to you and keeping you complacent with distraction. When someone tells you not to listen to a side, ask yourself why they're trying to keep them quiet. Ask yourself, why are they trying to keep Black women silent? It's time to listen to what they have to say! Keep the lines of communication open, decide for yourself who is worth listening to. Afrofuturist artists like Janelle Monae are going to save the world, I swear.

  85. C.... ....

    This song made me love being a black woman even moreeeee 😍😍😍😭😭😭😭

  86. l.... v....

    litttt🔥🔥

  87. F.... S....

    Who still checkin this greatness keeps me strong every single morning ✊🏾👑🍾

  88. T.... W....

    She is so classy, fly, beautiful and talented!!! She is always dressed so nice with nothing hanging out, and she has a banging body!! She makes me proud to be a black woman!!👏🏾🦋🌻🥰

  89. B.... G....

    Janelle monae......!!!!

  90. J.... P....

    Wow...she is the best.. I love her.

  91. L.... B....

    Its all true. I love me some Janelle Monae, plus my daughter shares her birthday and she's just as stylish😀.

  92. C.... J....

    Jane Bond, never Jane Do. Powerful stuff, mfn genius! 😍

  93. Y.... ....

    I fall deeper in love with this song every time I hear it

  94. A.... H....

    This song deserves WAY MORE RECOGNITION!!! Almost 2 years later and people still sleeping 🤦🏽‍♀️

    A.... H....

    Ikr? I'll never forgive the media or her fans that glossed over this lyrical art, but praised the other tracks for being empowering.

  95. T.... J....

    Such an underrated song 🔥

  96. B.... ....

    this lyrics are so fucking amazing and genius , everyone should hear this

  97. s.... ....

    She’s so underrated :/ but go Queen!!! Rap the truth!!!
