This track simply tells you to breathe, relax, and enjoy life the way you would like to. Janelle Monae is known for her unique sound and style, while not letting the criticism of others affect her. She encourages us to do the same. She literally says "I don't really give a f*** if I was just the only one who likes that". Like what you like, not just what's trending. That's how you find yourself.
Janelle pays tribute to R&B group TLC by stating in her lyrics that she's crazy, sexy, and cool- the title of TLC's hit album "Crazy, Sexy, Cool". And if you know TLC, you know that they completely encourage you to embrace yourself. Janelle also mentions how she was teased in grade school for not keeping up with the latest style. She overcame that as she says "But even back then with the tears in my eyes, I always knew I was the s***". And that's what we must always remember about ourselves.
