Welcome Beyoncé, "Lativia", Nina, Nicky, Kelly, and Ashley,

Beyoncé:
I'm out that H-Town, comin' comin' down;
I'm comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
Com-com-comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
I know when you were little girls, you dreamt of being in my world...
Don't forget it, don't forget it;
Respect that - bow down, bitches... (Crown!)
I took some time to live my life, but don't think I'm just his little wife...
Don't get it twisted, get it twisted;
This my shit - bow down, bitches...
Bow down, bitches, bow, bow down, bitches... (Crown!)
Bow down, bitches, bow, bow down, bitches... (Crown!)
H-Town vicious, H, H-Town vicious;
I'm so crown, crown - bow down, bitches!
I'm out that H-Town, comin' comin' down;
I'm comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
H-H-Tow-Town, I'm comin' down;
Com-com-comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:
We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller.
We say to girls, "You can have ambition, but not too much.
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man."
Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage.
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important.
Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support,
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage, and we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls see to each other as competitors,
Not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing,
But for the attention of men.
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.
Feminist: a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.
Beyoncé:
You wake up... (Flawless...)
Post up... (Flawless...)
Ride round in that... (Flawless...)
Flossin on that... (Flawless...)
This diamond... (Flawless...)
My diamond... (Flawless...)
This rock... (Flawless...)
My rock... (Flawless...)
I woke up like this... I woke up like this;
We flawless. Ladies, tell 'em,
I woke up like this, I woke up like this;
We flawless. Ladies, tell 'em,
Say, "I look so good tonight..."
Goddamn, goddamn...
Say, "I look so good tonight;"
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn!
Momma taught me good home training,
My Daddy taught me how to love my haters,
My sister told me I should speak my mind,
My man made me feel so goddamn fine! I'm flawless!
You wake up... (Flawless...)
Post up... (Flawless...)
Ride round in that... (Flawless...)
Flossin on that... (Flawless...)
This diamond... (Flawless...)
My diamond... (Flawless...)
This rock... (Flawless...)
My rock... (Flawless...)
I woke up like this... I woke up like this;
We flawless. Ladies, tell 'em,
I woke up like this, I woke up like this;
We flawless. Ladies, tell 'em,

Goddamn, goddamn...
Say, "I look so good tonight;"
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn!

The song “***Flawless” by Beyoncé featuring Frank Ocean has a deeper meaning than just celebrating female empowerment. It contains a spoken word interlude by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which highlights the societal limitations and injustices placed upon women. Adichie discusses the societal pressure placed upon women and how they are often taught to shrink themselves to make room for men. The lyrics, “We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller” emphasizes the societal pressure placed upon women to prioritize men and their expectations.
Moreover, Beyoncé’s lyrics highlight the challenges she has faced as a woman, specifically as a wife. The lyrics, “I took some time to live my life, but don’t think I’m just his little wife” suggests that Beyoncé had to prove to the world that she is more than just a wife, but a successful and independent artist in her own right. The lyrics empower women to reject traditional gender roles and societal expectations of women.
The song emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-confidence, celebrating the beauty in women’s natural appearance. The chorus lyrics, “I woke up like this, I woke up like this; We flawless” encourages women to wear their beauty and confidence with pride and without shame.
Overall, this song is a feminist anthem that celebrates women’s empowerment, urges women to take control of their lives, and shatters societal expectations placed upon women.
