Diva
Beyoncé ft Kanye West Lyrics

I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a confident, successful woman.

I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a powerful force to be reckoned with.

I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it.

I'm a, I'm a
I'm a boss.

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
A diva works hard, just like a hustler. It's just that divas happen to be women.

Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Diva-like determination and a hustler's drive often go hand in hand.

Stop the track, let me state facts
I need to make something clear.

I told you give me a minute and I'll be right back
I have important things to say and I just need a moment of your time.

Fifty million round the world
I've made money all over the globe.

And they said that I couldn't get it
People doubted my ability to succeed.

I done got so sick and filthy with Benji's, I can't spend
I've made so much money that I don't know what to do with it all.

How you gone be talkin' shit?
Why are you spreading rumors and lies about me?

You act like I just got up in it
I've been in the game for a while and have earned my spot as a diva.

Been the number one diva in this game for a minute
I've been at the top of my game for a while and have no intention of giving up my spot.

I know you read the paper
I know you've been keeping tabs on me through news outlets.

The one that they call a queen
I've earned the title of queen in this industry.

Every radio round the world know me
My music is played all over the world.

'Cause that's where I be
Music is my home and where I shine the brightest.

When he pull up, wanna pop my hood up
When my man arrives, I'm ready for some action.

Bet he better have a six pack in the cooler
He better be ready to have a good time with me.

Getting money, divas getting money
As a diva, I make a lot of money and I know other divas do too.

If you ain't getting money then you ain't got nothing for me
I have no time for people who aren't successful and making money.

Tell me somethin' where your boss at?
I want to know who's in charge and who I need to impress to get ahead.

Where my ladies up in there that like to talk back
I'm looking for strong women who aren't afraid to speak their minds.

I wanna see ya, I'd like to meet cha
I want to get to know you and see what you're all about.

What you said, she ain't no diva
Don't underestimate women who are confident and successful.

Since fifteen in my stilettos been struttin' in this game
I've been working hard and making strides in my industry since I was just fifteen years old.

What's your age? Was the question they asked when I hit the stage
Even at a young age, I was making waves in the music industry.

I'm a diva, best believe her, you see her, she getting paid
I'm a successful woman who's not afraid to flaunt it.

She ain't callin' him to greet her, don't need him, her bed's made
I'm independent and don't need a man to take care of me.

This is a stick up, stick up
I'm demanding what I want and taking it by force if need be.

I need them bags, uh, that money
I want those bags of money and I'm going to get them.

A stick up, stick up
I'm not afraid to make demands and stick to my guns.

You see them ask, where that money?
I want to know where the cash is, and I'm not leaving until I get it.

All my ladies get it up
I'm encouraging all the women in the room to get their money and be successful.

I see you, I do the same
I notice other successful women and I'm inspired by them.

Take it to another level
Keep pushing, striving, and achieving more than you ever thought possible.

No passengers on my plane
I'm the captain of my own success and I'm not taking any extra baggage along.

I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a successful woman who's confident in her power.

I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey
I'm a force to be reckoned with.

I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I know my worth and I'm not afraid to let others know it too.

I'm a, I'm a
I'm in charge and I know it.

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Women can be successful and powerful in their own right, just like men.

Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Women who are divas often have the same determination and drive as male hustlers.

Stop the track, let me state facts
I have something to say and I'm not afraid to make it clear.

I told you give me a minute and I'll be right back
I need your attention for just a moment because I have important things to say.

Fifty million round the world
I'm making major money across the globe.

And they said that I couldn't get it
People doubted my ability to succeed but I proved them wrong.

I done got so sick and filthy with Benji's, I can't spend
I've made so much money that I don't even know what to do with it all.

How you gone be talkin' shit?
Why are you spreading lies and rumors about me?

You act like I just got up in it
I've been in this industry for a long time and worked hard to get where I am.

Been the number one diva in this game for a minute
I've been at the top of my game for a while and I don't plan on giving up my title anytime soon.

I know you read the paper
I know you've been watching me and reading about me in the news.

The one that they call a queen
I've earned the title of queen in this industry and I wear it proudly.

Every radio round the world know me
My music is famous around the world and everyone knows who I am.

'Cause that's where I be
Music is my home and where I shine the brightest.

When he pull up, wanna pop my hood up
When my man arrives, I'm ready for some action and ready to show off for him.

Bet he better have a six pack in the cooler
He better be ready to keep up with me if he wants to be with me.

Getting money, divas getting money
Successful women like me know how to make money and aren't afraid to go after it.

If you ain't getting money then you ain't got nothing for me
I don't have time for people who aren't successful and ambitious.

Tell me somethin' where your boss at?
I'm looking for someone in power and someone I can impress to get ahead.

Where my ladies up in there that like to talk back
I'm looking for women who are strong and independent and not afraid to speak their minds.

She ain't callin' him to greet her, don't need him, her bed's made
