[Intro]
Ay, ay, ay
Nobody likes being played
Oh, Beyoncé, Beyoncé
Oh, y Sasha, y Sasha (Hey)

[Verse 1]
He said, I'm worth it, his one desire
(Yo conozco cosas del que tu no quieres ni saber)
He kissed me, his one and only
(Yes) Beautiful liar
(Solo por placer nuestra amistad no vamos a perder)

[Pre-Chorus]
A mi también
Why are we the ones who suffer?
No hay que caer
He won't be the one to cry

[Chorus]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
(Oh) Nos va dividir?
(Oh) No nos va a excitar
(Oh) Vamos a sufrir?
(Oh) Por un bello embustero

[Verse 2]
Confiaba en el
Mas cuando lo que encontré
Besándote el cuello
(I didn't know about you then 'till I saw you with him again)
Por que a ti?
Si hay mil por ahí
El es un perro
(You stole everything, how can you say I did you wrong?)

[Pre-Chorus]
A mi también
When the pain and heartbreak's over
No hay que caer
The innocence is gone

[Chorus]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
(Oh) Nos va dividir?
(Oh) No nos va a excitar
(Oh) Vamos a sufrir?
(Oh) Por un bello embustero

[Pre-Chorus]
Lo creía tan mio
Yo vivía por el
And I wish could free you
Of the hurt and the pain
Es un hombre muy frío
No es de una mujer

[Bridge]
Ya no nos puede engañar
Haremos con su juego, ya basta...de sus mentiras
Dile adiós.....por las dos

[Chorus]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
(Oh) Nos va dividir?
(Oh) No nos va a excitar
(Oh) Vamos a sufrir?
(Oh) Por un bello embustero

Beyoncé

In the twenty-first century, no pop star was as poised, as polished, or as generally fierce as Beyoncé. She scored early success with Destiny’s Child, who started out as a sexier and sassier (if less adult) version of TLC, then steadily became more and more of a vehicle for Beyoncé’s operatic vocals and general diva-tude, which may have been the plan all along.

Whether appearing in TV spots, co-starring in films like Dreamgirls, or killing it every night on stadium tours, Beyoncé was omnipresent in the 2000s. Almost everybody, Beygency member or otherwise, loved shiny, hip-hop-fueled hits like “Crazy in Love”, and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”. Moving into the 2010s, Beyoncé fights on, gaining more and more traction in pop culture with her work and music.

She has made a significant impact upon the music landscape in general with her recent albums 4 and BEYONCÉ, which explored complex themes like motherhood, feminism, marriage, sexuality, and doubt in a greater depth. With Lemonade, she went a step further—the fierce, intimate exploration of marriage, infidelity, and forgiveness was her most personal and musically daring album yet.
