Beyoncé
I'm out that H-Town, comin' comin' down;
I'm comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
Com-com-comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
I know when you were little girls, you dreamt of being in my world...
Don't forget it, don't forget it;
Respect that - bow down, bitches... (Crown!)
I took some time to live my life, but don't think I'm just his little wife...
Don't get it twisted, get it twisted;
This my shit - bow down, bitches...
Bow down, bitches, bow, bow down, bitches... (Crown!)
Bow down, bitches, bow, bow down, bitches... (Crown!)
H-Town vicious, H, H-Town vicious;
I'm so crown, crown - bow down, bitches!
I'm out that H-Town, comin' comin' down;
I'm comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
H-H-Tow-Town, I'm comin' down;
Com-com-comin' down, drippin' candy on the ground...
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller.
We say to girls, "You can have ambition, but not too much.
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man."
Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage.
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important.
Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support,
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage, and we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls see to each other as competitors,
Not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing,
But for the attention of men.
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.
Feminist: a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.

You wake up... (Flawless...)
Post up... (Flawless...)
Ride round in that... (Flawless...)

Say, "I look so good tonight..."
Goddamn, goddamn...
Say, "I look so good tonight;"
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn!
Momma taught me good home training,
My Daddy taught me how to love my haters,
My sister told me I should speak my mind,
My man made me feel so goddamn fine! I'm flawless!
You wake up... (Flawless...)

The judges give champions Skeleton Groove... four stars, a perfect score!
The challenger Girl's Tyme receives... three stars.
Skeleton Groove, champions once again! Congratulations, we'll see you next week.
The song "Flawless" by Beyoncé Ft Nicki Minaj begins with a sample from a 1991 Star Search episode, where presenter Ed McMahon is introducing a group of girls who become known as Girl's Tyme (which later evolved into Destiny's Child). It starts with Beyoncé proclaiming her roots from H-Town (Houston), saying she is dripping candy on the ground. She talks about how when people were little girls they dreamt of being in her world and she instructs them to respect and bow down. The next part of the song features a sample from a TEDx Talk by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, where she highlights the double standards women face compared to their male counterparts. Beyoncé then proclaims her confidence and talks about how she wakes up flawless and looks good tonight, thanks to the values instilled in her by her family.
The song is essentially a message of empowerment and female domination. Beyonce confidently asserts her status and tells other women to respect and bow down. The song highlights the double standards women face whereby society expects them to act and aspire in a certain way, which can stifle their ambition. Chimamanda's sample urges women to not aspire to marriage only but to strive for their goals, with the same passion and intensity that men are encouraged to have. Beyoncé's message is about women being able to take control, love themselves and be unapologetic about who they are.

We teach girls to shrink themselves

Because I am female

Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don't teach boys the same?
We raise girls to see each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
