      @lequinntessential 6 років тому +11

      M Olivier Absolutely love this track and Make me feel, but Django Jane is a bit uninspired musically (not lyrically though) and pynk is high on shock value without really having much replay value for me. Still love Janelle and all her past works though. Just think that she's taking a general shift towards a more sexual concept in this album

    Lyrics:
    Sometimes a mystery, sometimes I'm free
    Depending on my mood or my attitude
    Sometimes I wanna roll or stay at home
    Walking contradiction, guess I’m factual and fiction
    [Pre-Chorus]
    A little crazy, little sexy, little cool
    Little rough around the edges but I keep it smooth
    I’m always left of center and that’s right where I belong
    I’m the random minor note you hear in major songs
    [Chorus]
    And I like that
    I don’t really give a fuck if I was just the only one
    Who likes that
    I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    I like that
    [Verse 2]
    I don’t care what I look like but I feel good
    Better than amazing, and better than I could
    Told the whole world, I’m the venom and the antidote
    Take a different type of girl to keep the whole world afloat
    [Pre-Chorus]
    'Cause I’m crazy and I’m sexy and I’m cool
    Little rough around the edges but I keep it smooth
    I’m always left of center and that’s right where I belong
    I’m the random minor note you hear in major songs
    [Chorus]
    And I like that
    I don’t really give a fuck if I was just the only one
    Who likes that
    I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    I like that
    [Verse 3]
    I remember when you called me weird
    We was in math class, third row, I was sitting by you
    Right before Mr. Ammond’s class
    'Cause my mom couldn’t afford new Js
    Polos, thrift store, thrift clothes that was all I knew
    Do you remember?
    Uh, I remember when you laughed when I cut my perm off
    And you rated me a six
    I was like, “Damn”
    But even back then with the tears in my eyes
    I always knew I was the shit
    [Chorus]
    I like that
    I don’t really give a fuck if I was just the only one
    Who likes that
    I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my

    I was tonight years old when this song finally hit my soul like a ton of bricks. I felt free. This explains my deepest connection to spirit and my with alignment with Source/God. Tomorrow I’m writing a poem about this feeling that I just experienced on a multiverse realm ❤ #TrueEssence

    Not sure how I’ve never heard her music before, but so grateful now I have. As for the “rated me a 6” part……..whoever she was talking about was straight up tripping…..I’m struggling to find anything about her that brings her down to a very solid ten.
