Janelle Monáe Float

Janelle Monae has been busy in recent times but, unfortunately, she hasn’t dropped a ton of music. However, she hasn’t been in the cut, either. Last year, she appeared in the film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which led to mass critical acclaim. The National Board of Review Award honoured her in the Best Supporting Actress category. Around the same time, she won in the same category at The Atlanta Film Critics Circle Awards. Still, there’s been a strong demand for her to drop some new music.

It’s been nearly five years since she blessed fans with a new body of work. Monae dropped Dirty Computer in 2018. The 14-song effort boasted appearances from Pharrell Williams, Zoe Kravitz, Grimes, and Brian Wilson, leading to even more critical acclaim. Still, she didn’t leave fans empty-handed. Throughout the past few years, she’s blessed fans with a handful of singles, like “Stronger” and “Say My Name (Hell You Talmbout).” The pair of singles as well as her Lady & The Tramp contribution, “That’s Enough,” have held fans over until she prepared her next body of work

Lyrics

[Intro: Janelle Monáe]
I can’t hear myself
Damn
(When I see you, I) Yeah
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
Woo, woo woo

[Verse 1: Janelle Monáe]
No, I’m not the same, nigga (Not the same, no)
I think I done changed, nigga, uh
See somethin’ not the same, nigga (Not the same, no)
I used to walk into the room head down
I don’t walk, now I float

[Pre-Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
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

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
Float, float, float, float
I don’t dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float
Mm, I just float

[Verse 2: Janelle Monáe]
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 thang in a circle, makin’ in 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

[Pre-Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
Float, float on ’em, I float on ’em, just float
They hangin’ onto 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

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
Float, float, float, float
I don’t dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float
Mm, I just float

[Verse 3: Janelle Monáe]
All white 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 bi, a whole ‘nother coast
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

[Pre-Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
Float, float on ’em, I float on ’em, just float (Mm)
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

[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
Float, float, float, float
I don’t dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float

[Outro]
(When I see you, I)
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)
