Solange Knowles - Junie Lyrics






[Nia Andrews and Kelly Rowland:]
...have it, yeah

[Solange:]
First one's a fool, who'll be the fool now?
Who's gonna get in line?
First one to go, first one to fight the way
Let's go to moonlight, then they will never find
Let's go to home, free from the mother mind
Come on along, along, along, along, along, along, along

[André 3000:]
Jump on it
Jump on it, on it
Jump on it
Jump on it

[Solange:]
Hit 'em with a left
Hit 'em with they knock, knock
Hit 'em with a play
Then away, and away, and away, and away

Hit 'em with a knock, knock
Hit 'em on the top
Hit 'em when they flock, flock
Hit 'em with a shock, shock
Then away, and away, and away, and away

Hit 'em when they watch
Hit 'em with a dot, dot, dot, dot, dot
Then I'm up, up, up and away, and away, and away, and away

Hit 'em when they watch
Hit 'em when they cop, cop, cop what you got
Then away, and away, and away, and away, and away, and away

[André 3000:]
Jump on it
Jump on it, on it
Jump on it
Jump on it
Jump

[Solange:]
You want to be the teacher
Don't want to go to school
Don't want to do the dishes
Just want to eat the food

But what you gonna do
When they saw all your moves and practiced em daily?
Protect your neck, or give invitations?

  38. P.... ....

    Why everyone tryna pair her up with another artist? Clearly, she can do bad all by herself. She don't need to feature another artist to be successful. Sheesh...

  39. T.... W....

    "you wanna be the teacher dont wanna go to school. dont wanna do the dishes, just wanna eat the food." discussing the power imbalance between whites and blacks. When black people create its either appropriated, discredited or gentrified etc by white folks continuously throughout history, yet white folks refuse to take accountability for their actions. They like to take but dont care to learn or share..

    That clap around 1:24 had me so fooled. It was spontaneous and you expect the rest of the song to follow with that pattern. I'm in love with this song.

  69. O.... A....

    Chaka and Rufus vibe! I love it when the younger generation is influenced by the older music generation

  76. J.... B....

    Stuck on the Jackie Robinson pop lockin to this. Got a Stevie Wonder vibe to it..

  77. B.... L....

    collab with Common

  78. B.... L....

    MJ vibe. i hear Pharrell

  79. S.... J....

    i was just waiting on common or andre 3000 to rap

  80. T.... A....

    Feels kinda like Vulfpeck. Likey!

  84. J.... I....

    The beat is funky as hell. Dope song overall.

  85. O.... A....

  86. S.... J....

    This is the only song that still has me kind of lost on the subject matter lol

    S.... J....

    The song speaks of culture being taken and studied.

    S.... J....

    @Cekeytra Chambers @Cekeytra Chambers I'm going to have to listen more closely

  87. Q.... &....

    Queen Solange! Yeeesss, honey!

  88. T.... P....

    SAD THING IS NO MATTER HOW GOOD THIS REAL MUSIC IS, SHE MAY ALWAYS BE UNDER HER SISTERS CAREER.... SOLANGE IS SO UNDERRATED IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN THIS ALBUM CAN BE PUT IN THE CATEGORIES OF THE CLASSICS.. EWF, MAZE FT. FRANKIE BEVERLY. ETC...

    T.... P....

    Thomas Perkins I agree!!! I'm glad she's not hyped tho. All that fame can bring about some harsh and isolating realities. Beyonce feels she has to maintain her image, but early on Solange was forced into humble beginnings due to being compared to her sister. She's a strong woman and know who she is. No alter egos, none of that. lol

    T.... P....

    I won't go as far comparing it to EWF, or Maze, but I think she far exceeds her sister's music...or the other females in her sister's lane (Rhianna, for example).

    T.... P....

    I wanted her to be mainstream now I think I love when artists are underrated they can make the music they want to. I'm proud of Solange this is one of my favorite CDs in my collection.

    T.... P....

    @lnapjr76 Definitely NO comparison to EWF and Maze. But its okay.

    T.... P....

    Cmon bro Beyonce is not the center of the world. Maybe in america she is but internationally people appreciate Solange for her music not for for being the sister of. Plus Solange put her own name very high all by herself coz she produced this

  89. C.... W....

    babyyyyy she is giving me Miss E.Badu on this track!!! You betta come through Solange!

  90. k.... ....

    I actually would love a Bruno Mars collab. You can hear they have a ton of similar musical influences. He is a pop artist whose greatly inspired by soul. And she's a soul artist who has penned a ton of pop songs in her time. I would love to hear what funky eclectic sounds they would come up with. Lyrically too, they are both tongue in cheek.

    k.... ....

    I get a nice early '80 funk vibe from this---I like it already!

  91. M.... ....

    do I hear tweeeeet???? heart eye emojiiiii

  92. T.... ....

    SoLange sounds better than Beyoncé.

    T.... ....

    +TheRelic86 I agree with you. but let's stop comparing them

    T.... ....

    she dosent

    T.... ....

    TheRelic86 STOPPIT and no she doesn’t they’re both so damn talented but bey has the vocals down pack
