[Intro]
(Girls)
Coachella, thank you for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline Coachella (Girls)
Ain’t that 'bout a bitch? (Girls)
This song is dedicated to all the incredible women that opened up the doors for me
Thank you so much, ladies
Do we have any strong women out there tonight?
Sing along

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
Girls, we run this motha, yeah
Girls, we run this motha, yeah
Girls, we run this motha, yeah
Girls, we run this mutha (Here we go)

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)

[Verse: Beyoncé]
Some of them men think they freak this
Like we do, but no, they don't
Make your check, come at they neck
Disrespect us, no, they won't
This goes out to all my girls
That's in the club rocking the latest
Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later
I think I need a barber
None of these niggas can fight me
I'm so good with this, I remind you, I'm so hood with this
Boy, I'm just playing, oh, come here, baby
Hope you still like me, F you, pay me

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
My persuasion can build a nation
Endless power, with our love, we can devour
You'll do anything for me
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run this motha? Girls
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls (Girls)
Who run the world? Girls

[Outro: Beyoncé]
Who are we? (Who are we?)
What we run? (What we run?)
The world (Who run this motha?)
Who are we? (Who are we?)
What do we run? (What do we run?)
We run the world (We run this motha)
Who are we? What we run? We run the world
Who run the world? Girls

[Interlude: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie]
We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller
We say to girls: "You can have ambition, but not too much
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful
Otherwise, you will threaten the man"
We raise girls to see each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
But for the attention of men
Feminist: a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes

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.
