Janelle Monae - Sincerely, Jane Lyrics


Janelle Monae Lyrics

Sincerely, Jane Lyrics
Left the city, my momma she said don't come back home
These kids round' killin each other, they lost they minds, they gone
They quittin' school, making babies and can barely read
Some gone off to that war, lord have mercy on them
One, two, three, four, your cousins is round' here sellin' dope
While they're daddy, your uncle is walking round' strung out
Babies with babies, and their tears keep burning, while their dreams go down the drain now
(While their dreams go down the drain now)

Are we really living or just walking dead now?
(Are we walking dead now)
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more

Love don't make no sense, (ask) ask your neighbor
The winds have changed; it seems that they've abandoned us
The truth hurts, and so does yesterday
What good is love if it burns bright, and explodes in flames
(I thought every living thing had love but uhh)

Are we really living or just walking dead now?
(Are we walking dead now)
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more

I've seen them shootin' up funerals in they Sunday clothes (Yup)
And spending money on spinners but won't pay college loans (Yup)
And all you gangers and bangers rollin' dice and taking lives, in a smokey dark
Lord have mercy on you (Yup)
Teacher, teacher please reach those girls in them videos (Live your life)
The little girls just broken Queens, confusing bling for soul
Danger, there's danger when you take off your clothes, all your dreams go down the drain girl

Are we really living or just walking dead now?
Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
The way we live
The way we die
What a tragedy, I'm so terrified
Day dreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more

We live and then we die, and we never know the right
So now, now we go, down underground
We think that we can fly but we never touch the sky
So now, now we go, down underground

Five, seven, eight, two, one
It is now time, for you to come home my dear
You've been gone long enough
Thank you
You must come, you must go
