[Intro: Janelle Monae & Nate Wonder]
I can't hear myself (Float, float, float, float)
Yeah
(When I see you, I float, float, float, float, float, float) 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
(I just float) Woo, woo woo

[Verse 1: Janelle Monae & Nate Wonder]
No, I'm not the same, nigga (When I see you, I)
I think I done changed, nigga, uh (See you, I)
See somethin' not the same, nigga (When I see you, I)
I used to walk into the room head down
I don't walk, now I float

[Chorus: Janelle Monae]
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
Float, float, float, float
I don't dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float
Mm, I just float

[Verse 2: Janelle Monae]
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

[Chorus: Janelle Monae]
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
Float, float, float, float
I don't dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float
Mm, I just float

[Verse 3: Janelle Monae]
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 by 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

[Chorus: Janelle Monae]
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
Float, float, float, float
I don't dance, I just
Float, float, mm, float, float, float

[Outro: Nate Wonder]
(When I see you, I float, float, float, float, float, float)
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)
