I been through this too long
But I'll be damn if I see another chick on your arm
Won't you ring the alarm?
I been through this too long
But I'll be damn if I see another chick on your arm
She gon' be rockin' chinchilla coats
Bitch in the house off the coast
I let you go
She gon' take everything I own
I let you go
I can't let you go
Damn, if I let you go
She gon' rock them VVS stones
I let you go
It's in the 'Bach or the Rolls
I let you go
She gon' profit everything I taught
I let you go
I can't let you go
Damn, if I let you go
Tell me how should I feel
When I know what I know,
And my female intuition
Telling me you a dog?
People told me 'bout the flames
I couldn't see through the smoke
When I need answers, accusations
What you mean you gone choke?
You can't stay, you gotta go.
Ain't no other chicks spending your dough
This is taking a toll, the way the story unfolds
Not the picture perfect movie everyone would've saw
She gon' be rockin' chinchilla coats
I let you go
Bitch in the house off the coast
I let you go
She gon' take everything I own
I let you go
I can't let you go
Damn, if I let you go

Won't you ring the alarm?
I been through this too long
But I'll be damn if I see another chick on your arm
Tell me how should I feel
When you made me belong
And the thought of you just touching her
Is what I hate most
I don't want you but I want it
And I can't let it go
To know you give it to her like you gave it to me, come on
He's so arrogant and bold
Oh
She gon' love that... I know
I done put in a call, time to ring the alarm
'Cause you ain't never seen a fire like the one I'ma cause
She gon' be rockin' chinchilla coats

And not see all the things that I kept only just for you?
Why would you risk it baby? Is that the price that I pay?
But this is my show and I won't let you go
All has been paid for, and it's mine
How could you look at me

The lyrics of Beyoncé and Jay Z's "Ring the Alarm" speak about the end of a relationship, where Beyoncé discovers that Jay Z has been cheating on her with another woman. Beyoncé expresses her anger and disappointment at the situation, as well as her unwillingness to let him move on with someone else. The first two lines of the chorus set the tone for the song: "Ring the alarm, I've been through this too long, but I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm." She then goes on to describe the other woman as someone who will take everything she owns, including her style and possessions. Despite her anger, Beyoncé also expresses her pain over the situation, questioning how she could have not seen the signs earlier and feeling betrayed by the person she trusted the most.
Throughout the song, Beyoncé shows her resilience and refusal to let Jay Z go, despite the pain he has caused her. She accuses him of being "arrogant and bold", and suggests that he will regret what he has done when she causes a fire that he has never seen before. She also acknowledges that she still wants him and the things he gave her, and that it will be difficult for her to move on. In the final lines of the song, Beyoncé asserts her power and ownership over the situation, declaring that "this is my show and I won't let you go... all has been paid for, and it's mine."
