God Given Name Lyrics
Explosive...
Ba, ba...
Explosive...
Welcome to Solange and the Hadley Street Dreams...
Get me, get me, out of this box, I feel so claustrophobic in here;
Leave your labels, leave with no vision, hear my voice and feel with yo ears...
I'm no soul girl 'quipped with no afro;
I'm just my God given name...
(Ooh...)
I'm not becoming expectations; I'm not her and never will be...
Two girls going in different directions, striving towards the same galaxy...
Let my starlight shine on it's own; no, I'm no sister:
I'm just my God given name...
(Ooh...)
And I'm sorry if 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...
I'm sorry if I'm talking shit, but I really do mean well... (I really do)
We got a long, long moon to glow;
Hadley's a long road to travel;
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open...
We got a long, long moon to glow;
Hadley's a long road to travel;
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open...
We got so long to go, we got so far to go...
Hadley's a long road, Hadley's a long road...
God given name...
<i>I sound high, don't I?
I promise I'm not high!</i>
Ba, ba...
Explosive...

Everyones different, dont try and categorize people... Shes can only be her and no one else =) Its a good song. Same principles as Ashlee Simpsons song Shadow, but much better written!
Solange is saying she is nothing like Beyonce, they are different people and the media needs to know that. She is saying she is sorry that she is so unique, and that all she can be is Solange, her God Given Name.
