Beyoncé Knowles-Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These women in the world they know us
Know us, knows us
Haters keep on hating, they grouse us
Grouse us
Taylor Gang is the gang and you know us
Know us
Who like to get his money straight
Meet a bitch
Treat her to a cool dinner with
A lobster and a steak
Take her to the crib show her how you live
You be fuckin on the first date
Blow a lot of weed
Give her shots tomake that pussy pop
I'll be knockin in the night
So when I’m pimping on the spot
You know …to keep it pimping
Pimping and your bitches are choosing
Nigga you losing your pimping
Tough from the bottom
I’m riding to the top nigga!
Hold up first, I roll up roll up, roll up
These women in the world they know us
Know us, knows us
Haters keep on hating, they grouse us
Grouse us
Taylor Gang is the gang and you know us
Know us
Niggas getting mad
It really matter all the money I be gettin
Coming from a place you get your own
Stealing swag that's so forbidden
Hop up in my car, 1968 Camaro, boy
I’m shifting
Give a fuck about the shit you see on YouTube
You should see the crib I live in
And my niggas get it poppin'
And we’re rolling up, ain’t no stopping
We smoke in front of the cops
They don’t even hit the block and
Tell us to put it out
Me and Tuk be gettin' drugged out
We’re getting money in this ma don’t even
Give a fuck what you talk about
You little bitch!
Hold up first, I roll up roll up, roll up
These women in the world they know us
Know us, knows us
Haters keep on hating, they grouse us
Grouse us
Taylor Gang is the gang and you know us
Know us
Getting money since a mother fucking teenager
But what you know about the
Mobile phone full of things?
Or getting knocked off your brand
New ninja for some niggas in a car
Waiting on you with them red beans
Give a fuck what you’re reppin bitch
I’m a Taylor!
I’m rolling weed, drinking gin
I’m on them Cali flavors
Man these niggas sweet as candy
See them now n later
And niggas waitin in the car I'm
About to be a player!
Look! I never hung with you niggas
I never stunt with you niggas
Although I'll stunt on you niggas
I’m on my shit fly
Is just fun for you niggas
I got a drum for you niggas
And I ain’t talking about
A mother fucking band!
Hold up first, I roll up roll up, roll up
These women in the world they know us
Know us, knows us
Haters keep on hating, they grouse us
Grouse us
Taylor Gang is the gang and you know us
Know us

Tuk and I enjoy getting intoxicated
We’re getting money in this ma don’t even
We're making a significant amount of money, even though the situation may not be ideal
Give a fuck what you talk about
I don't care about your opinions or gossip
You little bitch!
You insignificant person!
Getting money since a mother fucking teenager
Earning money since a young age
But what you know about the mobile phone full of things?
What do you know about having a mobile phone filled with valuable possessions?
Or getting knocked off your brand new ninja for some niggas in a car
Or having your newly acquired motorcycle stolen by individuals in a car
Waiting on you with them red beans
Ambushing you with firearms
Give a fuck what you’re reppin bitch

I'm leisurely smoking marijuana and consuming gin

Man these niggas sweet as candy

See them now n later
Observe their downfall and decline over time
And niggas waitin in the car I'm about to be a player!
And there are individuals waiting in the car as I'm about to engage in promiscuous activities!
Look! I never hung with you niggas
Listen! I never associated with you individuals
I never stunt with you niggas
I never showcased my success alongside you individuals
Although I'll stunt on you niggas
However, I will flaunt my success in front of you individuals
I’m on my shit fly
I'm doing incredibly well and confident in myself
Is just fun for you niggas
It's just amusing for you individuals
I got a drum for you niggas
I possess a gun specifically intended for all of you individuals
And I ain’t talking about
And I'm not referring to
A mother fucking band!
A musical group, damn it!
Hold up first, I roll up roll up, roll up
Wait a minute, let me take a moment to gather myself and prepare
These women in the world they know us
Women all around the world are aware of who we are
Know us, knows us
They truly understand and recognize our presence
Haters keep on hating, they grouse us
The haters continue to dislike and criticize us, which annoys us

I tried to change, closed my mouth more tried to be softer, prettier, less awake.
Fasted for 60 days, wore white
abstained from mirrors, abstained from sex. Slowly did not speak another word
In that time my hair grew past my ankles
I slept on a mat on the floor
I swallowed a sword
I levitated
Into the basement confessed my sins and was baptized in a river.
Got on my knees and said Amen
And said I mean I whipped my own back and asked for dominion at your feet
I threw myself into a volcano I drank the blood and drank the wine I sat alone and begged and bent at the waist for God
I crossed myself and thought I saw the Devil.
I grew thickened skin on my feet, I bathed in bleach, and plugged my menses with pages from the holy book.
But still inside me coiled deep was the need to know
"Are you cheating on me?"
Like this so others can see

I tried to change
Closed my mouth more
Tried to be soft, prettier
Less... awake
Fasted for 60 days
Wore white
Abstained from mirrors
Abstained from sex

And that time my hair I grew past my ankles
I slept on a mat on the floor
I swallowed a sword
I levitated
Into the basement
Confessed my sins
And was baptized in a river
Got on my knees and said, "Amen"
And said, "I mean"
I whipped my own back
And asked for dominion at your feet
I threw myself into a volcano
I drank the blood and drank the wine
I sat alone and begged and bent at the waist for God
I crossed myself in thought
I saw the devil
I grew thickened skin on my feet

And plugged my menses with the pages from the holy book
But still inside me coiled deep was the need to know
Are you cheating?
Are you cheating on me?
