Be Still

[Intro]

Hey man, when was the last time you went tea-bagging?

Must be tea time!

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be wise, my dear

You must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder when will I know

[Verse 1: Big Boi]

To Hell if I don't pray

Like a mannequin in the window, I don't say—

A word; I like to sit back, observe

My heart says do not disturb, and yours

Is like a doorknob, everybody get a turn (Yeah)

Now that's a turnoff, girl, I'm not concerned

More like the early bird tryin' to get the worm-worm

But not on those terms, you got on my nerves

Say I don't deserve you, you're gonna learn

Treat it like a perm, leave it be or let it burn (Burn)

Eat 'em like an urr'nj—orange

So when they on the verge of leavin', it don't get borin'

Foreign trips are taken just to see your smiley faces

Time's a-wastin' and I don't like to waste no time

You can be down or— yeah

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be wise, my dear

You must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder, "When will I know?"

[Verse 2: Janelle Monáe]

I love being in love (Being in love)

Then you let me down, turned my heart around

Givin' up on love makes my ocean drown

You lived in my heart

Secret melodies haunt me at night

Maybe lies and lullabies

This is my last farewell

You let me down (Let me down)

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be wise, my dear

You must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder when will I know

[Spoken: Big Boi]

Yeah, from behind the Cadillac door

Grip this wood, slide 'round real slow

Just thinkin', mind blowed

As I glare through the smoke-tinted windows

I be still

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still, young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder when will I know

[Skit]

I came up here, finna come down and get me something to eat, take me a bath, know what I'm saying?

Bubba walked over to the phone booth, askin' 'bout the blue flame

I told 'em they ain't got nothin' but some big booty hoes down there

Alright

Ain't no drug transactions being made, I don't sell no drugs

So, so where did he get the crack from?

Boy, I could not tell you that! If I had some crack, I would be smoking it, I use drugs, I don't sell no drugs

Okay, so we gon' take this little 30 dollars then book it into evidence

We ain't got to do that, brother! I sit down and told you I ain't sold that man no crack, I don't know where he brought that crack from!

I had them same 30 dollars that I had when I walked over there, 'cause I'm goin' in my pockets to get my money out and make sure I had change to use the phone!
