[Intro]
What they say?
The world
(Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up)

[Verse 1]
You make me happy
This you can bet, yeah
It's clear right beside me, yeah
And I won't forget
And I really love you
You should know
I wanna make sure I'm right, boy
Before I let go
Now, we had our good times
That we can say
We hurted each other, yeah
And, boy, it's a shame
I won't be foolish, no
I wanna know
I wanna make sure I'm bright, boy
Before I let go
Yeah, uh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
You know, I thank God sun rises and shines on you
You know there's nothing, nothin', nothin' I would not do, oh
Before I let you go, woah
I would never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
Let you go before I go

[Verse 2]
I pull up to Coachella (Pull up)
In boots with the goose feathers (Pull up)
I brought the squad with me (I got the squad)
Black on black bandanas, I (I got the squad)
Dussé and Champagne (Champagne)
I did the damn thing (I did the damn thing)
Dirty Diana (Dirty Diana)
Singin' and dancin' all in the rain (Woo)
Ooh (To the left)
I just wanna have a good time (Turn around)
Turn around, kick, then slide
And twirl that ass to the right, now
Ooh, bunny hop, bunny hop, drop, pop
Cross your legs, turn around and clap
Shuffle to the left, let's glide now
Ooh, drop it down, drop it down low, low
Low, low, low to the floor, floor
Bring it up, clap, then roll, roll
Step on 'em, step on 'em, step on 'em, step
Step on 'em, kick on 'em, stomp, then you step
Swag the right, surf the left
Work the middle 'til it hurt a little

[Outro]
(Oh, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, oh)
Before I let, before I let, b-b-before I let go
(Oh, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, oh)
Before I let, before I let, b-b-before I let go

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.
