[Verse 1]
Hey honey
Cat got ya tongue
Don't look so funny
Mr. comedian jokes on you and
You good at bet so where's my money
I know you bet that I'd never make move
So why's the house empty
Lights off by the end of this week
I Leave wit what I came Wit baby
I take the dogs you keep the mercedes

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cause I'm gone I'm not fazed
I walk these roads with grace
And I'll wave with you behind me
With a new smile on my face

[Chorus 1]
Cause I'm walking in new shoes now
I got a new song to sing
When I walk in the room every head turns
Every eye is on me
To bad you're not here to see it
And by the time you get this
I'll be so long gone and far
I'll send you a postcard
Aaha I'll send you a postcard

[Verse 2]
Hey baby
You seen a ghost?
This ain't yo lady
This is the chick that you held back
Now all of the things you've said were crazy
I checked out my list and I feel good about it
I got the new haircut
The one that you said wouldn't look no good
Took that job you said I could not get
Wore that dress you said I'd never fit

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cause you're gone and I'm great
I got rid of your dead weight
And I'll wave at you behind me
With a new smile on my face

[Chorus 2]
Cause I'm walking in new shoes now
I got a new song to sing
When I walk in the room every head turns
Every eye is on me
To bad you're not here to see it
And by the time you get this
I'll be so long gone and far
I'll send you a postcard

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.
