Beyoncé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coco flow like 1980s
Come, let's tell a drop lazy
None of that maybe energy (nah)
Energy
Energy
Just vibe
Votin' out forty-five
Don't get outta line (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Pick a side
Only double lines we cross is dollar signs (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (hold up)
Wait, I hear you just got paid
Make it rain energy
She more Cancun, he more St. Tropez
Big wave in the room, the crowd gon' move
Look around everybody on mute
Look around it's me and my crew
Big energy
He was on stop mode, got froze
Froze front page Vogue, no pose
Chat too much, full clip unload
That's that Kodak energy
Energy
Energy
Energy
Yeah, yeah
Gold links, raw denim
You know that we do it grande
You know that I'm gon' be extra
When that camera go pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop
Keep 'em waitin' like dot-dot-dot-dot-dot-dot
Ooh, la, la, la
That's the way them boys sound when I walk through the block-block-block
Then I Uzi that doozy, shot-shot-shot
We was chillin', mindin' our business
Poppin' our pain and champagne through the ceiling
Sippin' it up, flickin' it up
All this good energy got you all in your feelings, feelings
I'm crazy, I'm swearin'
I'm darin', your man starin'
I just entered the country with Derringers
'Cause them Karens just turned into terrorists
You was on stop mode, got froze
Froze front page Vogue, no pose
Chat too much, full clip unload
That's that Kodak energy (go, let's go, let's go, let's go)
Energy
Energy (go, let's go, let's go, let's go)
Energy
Yeah, yeah
The song 'Energy' by Beyoncé is a powerful commentary on the current state of society, emphasizing the need for positivity and self-motivation. In the opening verse, Beyoncé demonstrates her willingness to perform, rocking the stage with irrepressible energy, while also acknowledging that she's a little stir-crazy. She continues to express her free-spirited nature, referencing the Coco flow of the 1980s, which speaks to her fashion and persona. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the idea of energy and how it is essential to staying motivated.
Beyoncé then addresses the current political climate in the second verse. She urges people to vote, stating that they should be careful not to cross any lines, except for dollar signs. She cleverly comments on the greed that seems to drive many people, all while urging her listeners to stay on the right path. The bridge subverts expectations as Beyoncé once again embraces her power, stating that she is crazy, daring, and fearless. She describes her arrival in the country with Derringers, either as a metaphor or a nod to a larger political issue.
In this song, Beyoncé speaks to the importance of maintaining a sense of energy and positivity in a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable. She advocates for self-motivation as the key to success, and encourages her listeners to take control of their own destinies.
