Part II
Beyoncé; Jay Z Lyrics

Oh yeah, uh oh
This is a musical interjection and doesn't add any meaning to the song.

Y'all know who it is (he's back)
Introducing themselves to the audience.

If you with me, throw the diamond up one time
Encouraging their fans to show their support by doing the hand gesture associated with their brand.

Ladies, if you with me, just grind to the bass line
Encouraging female fans to dance in a suggestive manner to the music.

Niggas, don't be scared to grab her from behind
Encouraging male fans to engage in sexual behavior without consent.

And make her show out her wild side, stick out her backside
Continuing to encourage and glorify non-consensual sexual behavior.

Now what the fuck they gon' do with me

Got money, got broads, got a crew with me
Listing off the things they have acquired through their success.

Real as banana clips, I got a Sue with me

Get down or lay down nigga to shoot with me

Now how the fuck they gon' deal with me

Got the whole BK ready to kill with me

You scared motherfucker, keep it real with me, keep it real with me

Now what the fuck they gon say to me

Got to clap, yi mean all day with me, CLAP, yi mean
Suggesting they have guns and are willing to fire them.

Don't play with me, clap, yi mean
Threatening violence against anyone who opposes them.

Stay with me, don't lose me y'all

And please don't confuse me with dog, I'm different

I bought it back for a living
Referring to their success in the music industry and the financial gains it has brought them.

33 O's on a bitch back like Pippen
