Crazy, Classic, Life Lyrics - Janelle Monae

[Intro] 

You told us we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, and the—and the pursuit of happiness 

[Verse 1] 

Young, black, wild and free 

Naked on a limousine (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

Riding through the hood real slow 

I love it when we smell the trees (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

I just wanna party hard 

Sex in the swimming pool (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

I don't need a lot of cash 

I just wanna break the rules (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

[Pre-Chorus] 

We don't need another ruler 

All of my friends are kings (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

I'm not American's nightmare 

I'm the American dream (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

Just let me live my life

[Chorus] 

I want a crazy, classic, life 

I want a crazy, classic, life 

So if the world should end tonight 

I had a crazy, classic, life 

[Verse 2] 

I don't need a diamond ring 

I don't wanna waste my youth (Oh-oh, oh-oh) 

I don't wanna live on my knees 

I just have to tell the truth, baby (Oh-oh, oh-oh) 

I don't wanna be left out 

I don't wanna cheat on you (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

I just wanna find the guy 

And I hope she loves me too (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus] 

We don't need another ruler 

We don't need another fool (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

I'm not American's nightmare 

I'm the American cool (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) 

Just let me live my life 

[Chorus] 

I want a crazy, classic, life 

I want a crazy, classic, life 

So if the world should end tonight 

I had a crazy, classic, life 

I want a crazy, classic, life 

I want a crazy, classic, life 

So if the world should end tonight 

I had a crazy, classic, life 

Crazy, classic, life 

[Outro] 

Handcuffed in a bando 

White boy in his sandals 

Police like a Rambo 

Blow it out, blow it out like a candle, Sambo 

Me and you was friends, but to them, we the opposite 

The same mistake, I'm in jail, you on top of shit 

You living life while I'm walking around moppin' shit 

Tech kid, backpack, no, you a college kid 

All I wanted was to break the rules like you 

All I wanted was someone to love me too 

But no matter where it was I always stood out 

Black Waldo dancing with the thick brows 

We was both running naked at the luau 

We was both on shrooms praying face down, waist down 

Remember when they told you I was too black for ya? 

And now my black poppin' like a bra-strap on ya 

I was kicked out, said I'm too loud 

Kicked out, said I'm too proud 

But all I really ever felt was stressed out 

Kinda like my afro when it's pressed out
