Be Still

Lyrics

[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!
