Beyoncé - 4 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe that harmonies are colors
Every time I paint it sharpens my harmony
Yesterday I tried to paint you
But the colors weren't beautiful enough
Your love goes beyond what I can say

Love
Beyoncé

You may not like her music, but you gotta respect how hard she works and how she does her job with integrity.

A lot of people like her music. The problem is people think if you don't like every move she makes that you are a hater. I respect her greatly. But she's a human just like everyone else and people act like she's God because she is an artist who puts in more effort than most.

Watching this 11 years later really makes me realize how fast time is moving. I remember this coming out and me being so excited and inspired to watch it. I was only 19 and now I'm 29 and still feel that inspiration. It makes me feel like I can accomplish anything.
