Janelle Monae's "Without A Fight"


It's hard to imagine Janelle Monae---with her pompadour swirl of 'tude---giving up at anything. So as far as her chants of "Imma reach for the sky/ Try to 'till I get it right", she's not telling us anything we don't know about her. But being that the track is for Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls, Monae may or may not had a scene from the moralistic film in mind when she put together this upbeat doosey. In other words, just imagine one of Tyler Perry's strong black characters needing a surge of female empowerment and it all makes sense.
