[Intro: Ghostface Killah (& Beyonce)]
Yeah, y'all ready for this one?
Uh-huh, yeah
'Cause I just want you to dance
Beyonce, Tony Starks
Yeah, the remix
Music World, yeah
Beat beats, c'mon
(All the ladies if you feel me, help me sing it out)
Yo, baby, what's all this you telling everybody
We broke up and all this, you know what I'm saying?
I'm hearin' off the streets and all that, ma
Talk to me or something, huh
I don't know what's goin' on, baby
You know, I got my clothes up in the joint
And you up here just packin' my gear
What happened, boo?

[Verse 1: Beyonce]
I can't believe I believed everything we had would last
So young and naive of me to think she was from your past
Silly of me to dream of one day having your kids
Love is so blind, it feels right when it's wrong
I can't believe I fell for your schemes, I'm smarter than that
So young and naive to believe that with me, you're a changed man
Foolish of me to compete, when you cheat with loose women
It took me some time but now I moved on, 'cause I realized I got

[Chorus: Beyonce]
Me, myself and I, that's all I got in the end
That's what I found out
And it ain't no need to cry
I took a vow that from now on
I'm'on gonna be my own best friend
Me, myself and I, that's all I got in the end
That's what I found out
And it ain't no need to cry
I took a vow that from now on
I'm'on gonna be my own best friend

[Beyonce]
(You're so) controlling, you say that you love me, but you don't
Your family told me one day, I would see it on my own
Next thing I know I'm dealing with your three kids in my home
Love is so blind, it feels right when it's wrong
Now that it's over, stop calling me, come pick up your clothes
Ain't no need to front like you're still with me, all your homies know
Even your very best friend tried to warn me on the low
It took me some time, but now I am strong
Because I realized I got

[Chorus: Beyonce]
Me, myself and I, that's all I got in the end
That's what I found out
And it ain't no need to cry
I took a vow that from now on
I'm'on gonna be my own best friend
Me, myself and I, that's all I got in the end
That's what I found out
And it ain't no need to cry
I took a vow that from now on
I'm'on gonna be my own best friend

[Bridge: Beyonce]
(I've got me, myself and I)
I know that I will never disappoint myself
(I must have cried a thousand times)
All the ladies if you feel me help me sing it out
(I can't regret all the time spent with you)
Yeah, you hurt me, but I learned a lot along the way
(It's how I learned how to make it through)
After all the rain, you'll see the sun come out again
(I've got me, myself and I)
Yeah, I know that I will never disappoint myself
(I must have cried a thousand times)
I've cried, all the ladies if you feel me help me sing it out
(I can't regret all the time spent with you)
Yeah, you hurt me, but I learned a lot along the way
(It's how I learned how to make it through)
After all the rain, you'll see the sun come out again

[Verse 3: Ghostface Killah]
Changes, we all go through changes
Arguments, disagreements, and to some it's dangerous
But your mind and your heart's clogged with all your pain and
But a bond that we was holding's what made us famous
Hey miss, beautiful mami with tears of stone
Stop cryin', come talk to Tone
Tell me everything that's goin' wrong like your needs and doubts
My reason for coming in late, I need cheese and sprouts
So I could continue to hold down the foundation
It's pitiful how you could charge me with violations
Patience is the key, fuck the frustrations
We act off our emotions and we start hatin'
And that leads to stress, problems and weight loss
Total baldness, broke homes come from negative forces
Baby be cautious, you got to call the cops to get me out
When it come, babe, I'm goin' all out
It's T-O-N-E-Y, to Beyonce, my, sweetie pie
Please try, be mine til we die

[Bridge: Beyonce]
Now I've got me, myself and I
(Me, myself and I)
I must have cried a thousand times
(I have cried so many times)
I can't regret time spent with you
(I can't regret time spent with you)
It's how I learned how to make it through
(After all the rain, you'll see the sun come out again)
Now I've got me, myself and I
(I know that I will never disappoint myself)
I must have cried a thousand times
(If you've cried a thousand times, ladies you will survive)
I can't regret time spent with you
(Yeah, you hurt me but I learned a lot along the way)
It's how I learned how to make it through
(I can see the sun shine, I've got me, myself and I)

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.
