Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé began performing in local competitions at age 7, eventually forming the group Girl's Tyme in 1990 with help from her parents. Girl's Tyme became Destiny's Child in 1997.

On you
Show you how I feel
Let me take this off
Will you watch me
Yes, mass appeal
Don't take your eyes
Don't take your eyes off it
If you like
You can touch me baby
Do you
Do you wanna touch me baby, ooh
Grab a hold, don't let go
Let me know
That you
Ready (ready)
I just wanna show you now
Slow it down
Go around
You rock hard
I rock steady
And rock right up to the side of my mountain
Climb until you reach my peak baby, peak babe, peak
And reach right into the bottom of my fountain
I wanna play in your deep baby, your deep baby, deep
Then dip me under where you can feel my river flowing and flow
Hold me 'til I scream for air to breathe
And wash me over until my well runs dry
Send all your sins all over me, babe, me baby, me
Rock it 'til waterfalls
Rock it 'til waterfalls
Rock it 'til waterfalls
Bathe in these waterfalls
I do it like it's my profession
I gotta make a confession
I'm proud of all this bass
When you put it in your face
By the way, if you need a personal trainer or a therapist
I can be a piece of sunshine, inner peace, entertainer
Anything else that you may read between the lines
You and I create rockets and waterfalls
So rock right up to the side of my mountain
Climb until you reach my peak baby, peak babe, peak
And reach right into the bottom of my fountain
I wanna play in your deep baby, your deep baby, deep
Then dip me under where you can feel my river flowing flow
Hold me 'til I scream for air to breathe
And wash me over until my well runs dry
Send all your sins all over me babe, me
Hard, rock, stead, rock, hard, rock, steady
Rock, hard rock, steady, rock, hard, rock, steady
Don't you know that I give you the loving if you need it
I give you my word, you can believe it
Your love feels like, all four seasons
Growing inside me, life has a reason
Swimming and my love and your love lifting
Higher, harder
Got me screaming to the lord, boy, kiss me
Pray we don't overflow
Baby I know you can feel it pulse
Keeping the peak of my waterfall
Rock it, baby, rock it, baby, rock it 'til the water falls
Damn
I can't help but love the way we make love
Daddy, daddy
Ooh child, ooh now
Yes, Lord, damn baby
You driving me cray, cray, yeah
You ain't right for doing it to me like that daddy

Punish me please

Ooh my shit's so good it ain't even right

Rockets and waterfalls
The lyrics to Beyoncé's song "Rocket" are a steamy ode to love and intimacy. In the first verse, Beyoncé invites her lover to watch her undress and then touch her. She tells him that he can hold on tight and asks if he is ready. In the chorus, Beyoncé croons about how hard he rocks and how hard she is steady. She tells her lover that he can climb her like a mountain and reach her peak. She wants him to feel her river flowing and to hold her until she screams for air. She wants him to send all of his sins all over her.
The second verse is just as passionate. Beyoncé sings about how she does what she does with the confidence of a professional, and she is proud of all her assets. She tells her lover that she can be his trainer, therapist, piece of sunshine, or anything else that he needs. She wants to create rockets and waterfalls with him. She wants him to rock her until the waterfalls, and she promises to love him so deep that it ain't even right.
Overall, "Rocket" is a powerful love song that celebrates sensuality, intimacy, and passion. Beyoncé's sultry voice and confident lyrics make this song an instant classic.
