713
Beyoncé JAY-Z The Carters Lyrics

Cash, hit deposit, 24-carat faucets
Making bank and living the high life with luxurious fixtures

Louis V and Goyard trunks all in the closet
Designer clothing and accessories on point

Ain't shit change, the streets is still watchin'
Success hasn't changed us and we're still being observed by those on the streets

And my little baby Blue is like, "Who gon' stop us, huh?"
Our child Blue Ivy is supportive and confident in our success

Ain't no way to stop this love
Our strong love is unstoppable

Ain't no space if everything is love
Where there is love, there is no room for negativity

I'm representin' for my hustlers all across the world (still)
We're still advocating and standing up for hustlers everywhere

Still dippin' in my low-lows, girl (still)
We're still driving our lowrider cars

I put it down for the 713, and we still got love for the streets (ow!)
Houston (area code 713) is where we come from and we still have love for our roots

We played it cool at the pool of the Cancun, VMA
At the Cancun VMAs, we kept our cool in the pool

Confidence you exude make the fools stay away
Your confidence makes the haters back off

Me, I played my room, let the fools have they say
I stayed in my hotel room and let the haters talk

Fate had me sittin' next to you on the plane
We were seated next to each other on a plane by chance

And I knew straight away, uh
I was immediately drawn to you

The next time we would speak was like two years away
We didn't talk again for two years

You had a man, you shut it down until you two had a break
You were in a relationship and put things on hold until you were single again

I bet that dude rued the day
I'm sure that guy regretted letting you go

You kept me up on the phone while you were away
You stayed in touch with me while you were gone

You came back, I let you set the date, Nobu on the plate
When you returned, I let you choose the date and we went to Nobu restaurant

I brought my dude to play it cool, my first foolish mistake
I brought a friend with me to try and play it cool, but it was a mistake

I never knew a lo, lo, lo-, love like this
I've never experienced love like this before

Gotta be special for me to write this
Our love is so special that I feel inspired to write about it

Queen, I ain't mean no disrespect
Babe, I don't mean to offend you

But the way I network, it's hard for me to connect
Because of my status, it's difficult for me to connect with people

My first time in the ocean went exactly as you'd expect
My first time swimming was nothing special

Meanwhile you goin' hard, jumpin' off the top deck
While I'm not doing much, you're being adventurous and jumping off the deck

A leap of faith, I knew I was up next
I took a chance and knew I was next in line

I never told you, but I told a few people we'd wed
I never told you, but I mentioned to some people that we would get married

Me, I'm off to Rome, you goin' back home instead
I'm going to Rome, but you're going back home

My first time in my life a live nigga felt dead
For the first time, I felt vulnerable and emotional

You came back, I had to act like it was cool in my head
When you returned, I had to play it cool even though I was emotional

Thoughts of jumpin' the broom, a player never been swept
I had thoughts of getting married, but as a player, I've never been caught up in love before

To all the good girls that love hustlers
Shoutout to the good girls who love hustlers

To the mothers that put up with us
Thanks to the mothers who deal with us and our shenanigans

To all the babies that suffered 'cause us
We apologize to the children who had to endure our struggles

We only know love because of ya
Thanks to our loved ones who have taught us how to love

America is a motherfucka to us, lock us up, shoot us
As black people, we face systemic injustices and violence from the government

Shoot our self-esteem down, we don't deserve true love
Society tries to make us feel inferior and unworthy of love

Black queen, you rescued us, you rescued us, rescued us
Thank you to the black women who have saved us and uplifted us
