I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva

I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla

Stop the track, let me state facts
I told you give me a minute and I'll be right back
Fifty million round the world
And they said that I couldn't get it

I done got so sick and filthy with Benji's, I can't spend
How you gone be talkin' shit?
You act like I just got up in it
Been the number one diva in this game for a minute

I know you read the paper
The one that they call a queen
Every radio round the world know me
'Cause that's where I be

I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla

When he pull up, wanna pop my hood up
Bet he better have a six pack in the cooler
Getting money, divas getting money
If you ain't getting money then you ain't got nothing for me

Tell me somethin' where your boss at?
Where my ladies up in there that like to talk back
I wanna see ya, I'd like to meet cha
What you said, she ain't no diva

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla

Since fifteen in my stilettos been struttin' in this game
What's your age? Was the question they asked when I hit the stage
I'm a diva, best believe her, you see her, she getting paid
She ain't callin' him to greet her, don't need him, her bed's made

This is a stick up, stick up
I need them bags, uh, that money
A stick up, stick up
You see them ask, where that money?

All my ladies get it up
I see you, I do the same
Take it to another level
No passengers on my plane

I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a, I'm a, a diva

This is a stick, up stick up
I need them bags, uh, that money
Stick up, stick up
You see them ask where that money

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla

I'm a, a diva, I'm a, I'm a, a diva

Overall Meaning

Beyoncé's song "Diva" is an upbeat and feminist anthem that celebrates the traits of an empowered and successful woman. The song tells us that Beyoncé is a diva and she's proud of it. She is making a statement that she has worked hard for her money, and she is not afraid to show her power and independence. In a society where women are often criticized for being confident and assertive, Beyoncé is taking a stand and reclaiming the word "Diva" as a positive label for successful women.


The line "Diva is a female version of a hustla" highlights how women have to work twice as hard and fight for recognition in male-dominated industries. However, Beyoncé takes pride in being a woman who hustles hard to achieve her goals. Furthermore, when she refers to the bags and money she needs to "stick up", it talks about a powerful woman who is not afraid to demand respect and own her sexuality.


Overall, "Diva" is a song about empowerment and self-confidence, which encourages women to be assertive, unapologetic, and unafraid to show their worth.

When I saw this video for the first time I thought "shit, she dances better than girls in the background." I don't know on purpose or not, but I still think she dances better. Maybe because the girls in the background dance as if it was their job (this is the case, I understand), but Beyonce dances lively and naturally. Brilliant
