Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dum-da-de-da
Do, do, do, do, do, do
(Coming down, dripping candy on the ground)

It stay Yoncé, your Yoncé in that lingerie
On that chardonnay, it's gonna touch down like a runway
I'm Texas forever like Bun B, and I'm redboned yo
I'm really rit like Donjae, I'm camo in here yo
These thots can't clock me nowadays
You wish I was your pound cake
Boy you know I look good as fuck
You wish I was your baby momma
Want me to come around and give you good karma, but no
We escalate, up in this bitch like elevators
Of course sometimes shit go down
When it's a billion dollars on an elevator
Of course sometimes shit go down
When it's a billion dollars on an elevator
(Ha, ha, God damn, God damn, God damn)

Momma taught me good home training
My Daddy taught me how to love my haters
My sister taught me I should speak my mind
My man made me feel so God damn fine (I'm flawless!)

You wake up, flawless
Post up, flawless
Ridin' round in it, flawless
Flossin' on that, flawless
This diamond, flawless
My diamond, flawless
This rock, flawless
My Roc, 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"
God damn, God damn
Say "I look so good tonight"
God damn, God damn, God damn

I wake up looking this good (God damn, God damn, God damn)
And I wouldn't change it if I could
(If I, if I, if I)
And you can say what you want
I'm the shit (what you want I'm the shit)
I'm the shit, I'm the shit, I'm the shit
I want everyone to feel like this, tonight
God damn, God damn, God damn

Looking Trinidadian, Japanese and Indian
Got Malaysian, got that yaki, that wavy Brazilian

(Them bitches thirsty, I'm Hungarian
Nicki, Bey, be eatin' diamond fangs, barbarian, ah)

Yo, like MJ doctor, they killing me
Propofol, I know they hope I fall
But tell 'em winning is my motherfuckin' protocol
'Cause I score before I ever throw the ball
These bitches washed up and ain't no fuckin' soap involved, uh
This every hood nigga dream, fantasizing about Nicki and Bey
Curved valicious, pussy served delicious
Mayday mayday, earth to bitches
Slap these hoes on they ass like we birthing bitches, uh
The queen of rap, slayin' with queen Bey
If you ain't on the team, you playin' for team D
'Cause we A-listers, we paid sisters
This watch right here done faced blizzards
I confess, I woke up like this
All this drank in my cup like this
All this ass on that flawless dick
Instagram another flawless pic
Flawless city with these flawless titties
I got all these hundreds, you got all them fifties
I'm with some flawless bitches because they be mobbin' pretty
'Cause niggas love bad bitches that be on they grizzly
Throw that ass back I be on my frisbee
Princess cut diamonds on my Disney
He want monster Nicki in Sri Lanka
I told 'em meet me at the trump, Ivanka
I said come here let me show you how this cookie tastes
This that year, nigga eat the cookie face





(Roc, Roc, Roc)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Flawless Remix" by Beyonce and Nicki Minaj explore themes of confidence, power, and female empowerment. In the chorus, Beyonce repeatedly declares her own beauty and self-confidence while encouraging other women to do the same, stating that she woke up looking "flawless" and wouldn't change it if she could. The song also addresses the scrutiny that Beyonce and other successful women face, with references to the infamous elevator incident involving Beyonce's husband Jay Z and sister Solange Knowles. The second verse, performed by Nicki Minaj, features rapid-fire lyrics that touch on topics ranging from her diverse ethnic background to her own success as a rapper, while the bridge features Beyonce sampling Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED Talk "We Should All Be Feminists."


The song was praised by critics for its bold feminist message, with many pointing to the inclusion of Adichie's speech as a particularly powerful moment. The song was also notable for its visual accompaniment, a remixed version of Beyonce's "Partition" music video that featured both singers performing together in revealing outfits. "Flawless Remix" was released in 2014 as a single from Beyonce's self-titled fifth studio album, and it quickly became a fan favorite.
