Float Songtext

von Janelle Monáe

I can′t hear myself, damn

No, I'm, no, I′m not, no, I'm not the same
No, I'm not the same, no, I′m not the same, no, I′m not the, uh
No, I'm not the same, uh
I think I done changed, yeah

No, I′m not the same, nigga
I think I done changed, nigga, uh
See, something not the same, nigga
I used to walk into the room head down, I don't walk, now I float

Float on ′em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin′ on to that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on 'em, just float
I don′t step, I don′t walk, I don't dance, I just

Float, float, float, float
I don′t dance, I just float
Float, mmh, float, float, float
Mmh, I just float

I'm light as a feather, I′m light as a feather, yeah, baby, I float
It's hard to look at my resume, hoo, and not find a reason to toast
She throwin′ that thing in a circle, makin' it viral, I might just elope
Say, "Listen, lil' mama, you like shibari? Watch while I show you the ropes"

I used to let niggas get to me, I used to be my own enemy
Now I done had several epiphanies over some breakfast at Tiffany′s
Had to forgive all my frenemies, they are not who they pretend to be
I had to protect all my energy, I′m feelin' much lighter, now I

Float, float on ′em, I float on 'em, just float
They hangin′ on to that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on ′em, just float
I don't step, I don't walk, I don′t dance, I just

Float, float, float, float
I don′t dance, I just float
Float, mmh, float, float, float
Mmh, I just float

I wear the attire, check out the robe, I'm fresh like a pope
I′m doin' my dance on catamarans and you gotta cope
I′m countin' my blessings, we ain′t stressin', just look at this glow
I got that magic, I'm really prepared for whatever whenever, so who want the smoke?

Came back from the future to take all y′all niggas and take all y′all hoes
They said I was bi, yeah, baby, I'm by a whole ′nother coast, ha
She stay in the Hills, he stay in Atlanta, I paid for them both
My face card don't come with a limit, I swipe it, I spend it, I swear I be doin′ the most

Float, float on 'em, I float on ′em, just float (mmh)
They hangin' on to that Goose down in my coat
Float on 'em, I float on ′em, just float
I don′t step, I don't walk, I don′t dance, I just

Float, float, float, float
I don't dance, I just float
Float, mmh, float, float, float

Alright, I have a toast, if you′re willing to repeat it (yeah)
Repeat after me (alright)
To the lives we lead (to the lives we lead)
To the dreams we chase (to the dreams we chase)
To the moments that we make (to the moments that we make)
And the fucked up shit we can't erase (and the fucked up shit we can′t erase, woo!)
