Upgrade U feat. Lil' Wayne
Beyonce Lyrics

Yeah B Talk yo' shit
Expressing confidence and urging to speak freely

(Partner let me upgrade you) How you gon' upgrade me what's higher than number one?
Questioning how one can be upgraded from being the best

You know I used to beat that block Now I be's the block (partner let me upgrade you)
Went from being a victim of the streets to dominating them and offering to help upgrade another

I hear you be the block, but I'm the lights that keep the streets on
Asserting that they are the force that truly keeps the streets flourishing

Notice you the type, that like to keep them on a leash though I'm known to walk alone, but I'm alone for a reason
Observing that the other person likes control whereas they value independence

Sending me a drink ain't appeasing, believe me Come harder, this won't be easy
Flattery won't sway them, challenging the other person to prove their worth

Don't doubt yourself trust me you need me This ain't a shoulder with a chip, or an ego But what you think they all mad at me for
Offering support and asserting that their abilities speak for themselves

You need a real woman in your life, that's a good look Taking care, home is still fly, that's a good look And I'mma help you build up your account, that's a good look Better yet a hood look, ladies that's a good look
Recognizing that they can offer more in a relationship, which is mutually beneficial

When you're in them big meetings for the mills, that's a good look It take me just to compliment the deals, that's a good look Anything you cop I'll split the bill, that's a good look Better yet a hood look, believe me, ladies that's a good look
Expressing willingness to support and contribute to each other's success

Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars Piguet you Switch your neck ties to purple labels
Offering to elevate the other person's style and possessions

Flip a new page Introduce you to some new things, and upgrade you
Showing a willingness to offer new experiences and opportunities to the other person

I can do for you, what Martin did for the people Ran by the men, but the women keep the tempo
Comparing themselves to Martin Luther King Jr. and recognizing the important role that women play in society

It's very seldom, that you're blessed to find your equal Still play my part and let you take the lead role, believe me
Acknowledging that finding an equal is rare and willing to play a supportive role

I'll follow, this could be easy I'll be the help, whenever you need me
Expressing a willingness to follow the lead and be a helpful partner

I see your hustle with my hustle, I can keep you Focused, on your focus I can feed you
Recognizing their shared drive and offering to provide support to maintain focus

I be the d-boy, who infiltrated all the corporate dudes They call shots, I call all-the-booze
Boasting about their ability to infiltrate and manipulate powerful people

Jacob the jeweler, baubles, Lauraine Schwartz, oughta do It's big balling baby, when I'm courting you
Listing high-end jewelers and expressing a desire to flaunt their wealth when impressing the other person

I'm talking spy bags, and fly pads, and Rooms at the Bloomberg, and rumors you on the verge Of a new merge, 'cause that rock on ya finger, is like a Tumor You can't fit ya hand in ya new purse
Listing more luxury items and implying that they will be instrumental in the other person's future success

It's humorous, to me they watching and we just yachting off the island hopping off the Amalfi coast Mafioso! Oh baby, you ever seen Saturn? No, not the car, but everywhere we are
Mocking their detractors and listing exotic locations they've visited

You're sure to see stars, this is high level not eye level My bezel, courtesy of Audemars I order yours tomorrow, now look at the time I saved you
Boasting about their expensive watch and offering to buy the same one for the other person

Mama, let me upgrade you Just when you think we had it all Big ends, condos, collecting cars Picture your life elevating with me
Addressing the other person as 'mama' and painting a picture of further success and luxury together

Make you my project celebrity I keep your name hot in them streets That little glimpse of light Makes that diamond really shine And you already is a star Unless your flawless Then ya dynasty ain't complete without a chief, like me
Describing the other person as a star and offering to further elevate their status and shine a spotlight on them

Silk-lined blazers, diamond creamed facials VVS , six-star pent suites Partner, let me, upgrade ya, grade ya
Listing more luxury items and urging the other person to let them upgrade their life

Partner, partner, let me, upgrade you, grade you Let me, let me, let me, upgrade you, grade you Partner, partner, partner, let me upgrade you
Reinforcing their desire to upgrade the other person throughout the song
