The heartbreak that Beyonce experienced was so great that she dedicated an entire album to it. But instead of being sappy and sorrowful, it was empowering and angry. Someone did her wrong, and she’s not taking his sh*t anymore! While some could argue that these could just be some catchy, general breakup tunes, the lyrics about marriage give pause. Especially since we now know that “Becky with the good hair” is a real person! Find out how you can buy Lemonade right here!
From “Pray You Catch Me”
You can taste the dishonesty / It’s on your breath as you pass it off so cavalier.
From “Hold Up”
Can’t you see there’s no other man above you / What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you.
Something don’t feel right because it ain’t right, especially coming up after midnight / I smell your secrets and I’m not too perfect to ever feel this worthless / How did it come down to this, going through your call list? / I don’t wanna lose my pride but I’ma f*ck me up a bitch.
What’s worse, looking jealous or crazy? Jealous or crazy? / More like walked all over lately, walked all over lately, I’d rather be crazy.
It’s such a shame, you let this good love go to waste.
From “Don’t Hurt Yourself”
Who the f*ck do you think I am? You ain’t married to no average b*tch, boy.
I am the dragon breathing fire / Beautiful man, I’m the lion / Beautiful man, I know you’re lying.
I smell that fragrance on your Louis V, boy / Just give my fat ass a big kiss, boy / Tonight I’m f*cking up all your sh*t, boy.
This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this sh*t again you gon’ lose your wife.
From “Sorry”
Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home / Today I regret the night I put that ring on / He always got them f*cking excuses.
He only want me when I’m not on there / He better call Becky with the good hair.
From “Daddy Lessons”
My daddy warned me about men like you / He said, “Baby girl, he’s playing you.”
From “Love Drought”
I’ve always been committed, I’ve been focused / I always paid attention, been devoted, tell me what did I do wrong?
Ten times out of nine, I know you’re lying / But nine times outta ten, I know you’re trying.
Are you aware you’re my lifeline, are you trying to kill me? / If I wasn’t me, would you still feel me? / Like on my worst day? Or am I not thirsty enough?
From “Sandcastles”
Pictures snatched out the frame / Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face / What is it about you that I can’t erase, baby?
We built sandcastles that washed away / I made you cry when I walked away / And although I promised that I couldn’t stay, baby / Every promise don’t work out that way.
From “All Night”
Found the truth beneath your lies / And true love never has to hide.
Damn! Beyonce is coming for him. And if he didn’t know that he screwed up before, he definitely does now that Lemonade dropped! It’s been long rumored that the infamous elevator fight between Jay Z and Solange was over him cheating on Beyonce, but it’s been quiet on that front since then. Now that fashion designer Rachel Roy, 42, basically copped to being Becky on Instagram on April 24, it looks like everything’s coming together. This is so crazy!
