FIND YOUR WAY BACK
Beyoncé JAY-Z & Childish Gambino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lil trippy on a mic bitch
Yea
Crimson play on
Imma stay up all night
Cause these demons in my head
Winning all the fights
I don't know what's right?
But fuck it
Imma get fucked up tonight
Baby, Imma get fucked
Man what's love?
(What's love?)
Lost but imma find my way back
The journey is filled with rats
But trust me that's nothing wrong with that
Do what you want it's your life
And I won't judge you for that
Baby 'cause I am busy with my own stuff
Got a liquor on my hand
Imma drink till I see nothing
I got a big dream
Late night I've hearing all this screams
But fuck it imma stick with my team
I got no time
Don't wanna waste it on somebody
Who doesn't make no time for me
'Cause my mom once told me
The most expensive thing
That you give can to a person is
Seconds of your life that you live
Last time when I gave all my time to someone
They didn't appreciate it that shit
Now I am on my bitches ain't shit
Gotta get back
Gotta sit back
And think before I make moves you know
Yea, Oh!
I just gotta let you know
Gotta lot of pain inside my body
I don't really wanna show
'Cause of bitch peoples
I don't wanna trust no one
Not even my soul (Yea)
Lost but imma find my way back
The journey is filled with rats
But trust me that's nothing wrong with that
Do what you want it's your life
And I won't judge you for that
Baby 'cause I am busy with my own stuff
Got a liquor on my hand
Imma drink till I see nothing
I got a big dream
Late night I've hearing all this screams
But fuck it imma stick with my team
Yea, imma stick with my team
Gotta lot of shit in my dreams
But fuck it
I just wanna be big
But I don't know how to
But I am just writing all these songs you know (Oh, oh, oh)
Imma do it like that
Imma hit you from the back
Baby, tell me what love is?
'Cause I don't feel like that
'Cause love got me no where
I don't wanna talk about that
I just wanna be alone
Back with myself in my dorm
What the fuck is that?
Why's your hoe keeps on calling on my phone?
I don't even wanna know
Yea, I just wanna be better me (Na, na)
Lost but imma find my way back
The journey is filled with rats
But trust me that's nothing wrong with that
Do what you want it's your life
And I won't judge you for that
Baby 'cause I am busy with my own stuff
Got a liquor on my hand
Imma drink till I see nothing
I got a big dream
Late night I've hearing all this screams
But fuck it imma stick with my team
I don't wanna talk with nobody
Not even with myself
Lately, I've been doin' all these shit
But Fuck it!
I feel so numb and dumb
Man, what I really want?




Is it money or fame?
Nothin'

This era of Beyonce was impeccable. It didn't resonate with Beyonces audience but nonetheless that doesn't take away from how impeccable it was.

@mela6885

In 10 years people will see how underrated this era of Beyoncé was
