In early 2000, both Roberson and Luckett were replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin; however, Franklin quit after five months, leaving the group as a trio. Their third album, Survivor (2001), whose themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience, produced the worldwide hits "Independent Women", "Survivor" and "Bootylicious. In 2001, they announced a hiatus to pursue solo careers. The trio reunited three years later for the release of their fifth and final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled (2004), which spawned the international hits "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier (feat. T.I. & Lil' Wayne)". Since the group's official disbandment in 2006, Knowles, Rowland and Williams have reunited several times, including at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and 2018 Coachella festival.
Destiny's Child has sold more than sixty million records worldwide to date. Billboard ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time, the ninth most successful artist/band of the 2000s, placed the group 68th in its All-Time Hot 100 Artists list in 2008 and in December 2016, the magazine ranked them as the 90th most successful dance club artist of all time. The group was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, winning twice for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and once for Best R&B Song.
Proud Family
Destiny's Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Family every single day and night
Even when you start acting like a fool
You know I'm loving every single thing you do
I know that I can always be myself
Around you more than anybody else
And every day as I'm heading out to school
You know there's no one I love as much as you
Chorus
Family, a family, proud family
They'll make you scream, they make you wanna sing
It's a family thing, a family,proud proud family, proud family
They'll push your buttons, and wanna make you wanna hug'em
Its a family thing, a family, proud proud family
Sleep tight knowin' that you're there
And when I dream you're everywhere
Everywhere, in my heart and even in my soul
You know I take you every single place I go
Everyday I'm hangin' with my friends
That's cool but when the day ends
I wanna feel the love that I know is really true
I only wanna feel how I feel when I'm with you
Chorus
You and me we'll always be tight
Family every single day and night
Even when you start acting like a fool
You know I'm loving every single thing you do
I know that I can always be myself
Around you more than anybody else
And every day as I'm heading out to school
You know there's no one I love as much as you

I think they called Solange because even at that time Beyonce’s vocals were matured for the verses. The lyrics are in Penny Proud’s perspective who’s a teenager. Solange was 15 so it made sense to have her sing the verses. Destiny’s Child was there to harmonize while Beyonce had to sing the chorus. Smart move and now we have this masterpiece.
