God Given Name

[Spoken]
Exclusive, exclusive
Welcome to Solange & The Hadley Street Dreams

[Verse 1]
Get me - get me out of this box
I feel so claustrophobic in here
Leave your labels, lead with no vision
Hear my voice and feel with your ears
I'm no soul girl equipped with no afro
I'm just my God given name

[Verse 2]
I'm not becoming expectations
I'm not her and never will be
Two girls going in different directions
Traveling towards the same galaxy
Let my starlight shine on its own
No, I'm no sister
I'm just my God given name

[Verse 3]
And I'm sorry that this planet that I'm living on is quizzical
My lyrical ambitions sometimes don't ring a bell
I'm sorry if my visual don't line up with my feelings
And my physical exhibit doesn't represent me well
I'm sorry if I'm curious, delirious and I don't take life serious
I mirror the life of a millionaire
And I'm sorry if I'm talking shit, but I really do mean well

[Verse 4]
We've got a long, long moon to glow
Hadley's a long road to travel
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open
We've got a long, long moon to glow
Hadley's a long road to travel
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open

[Outro]
We've got so long to go
We've got so far to go
Hadley's a long road
Hadley's a long road
God given name

[Spoken]
I sound high don't I? I promise I'm not high!
