Bonnie & Clyde
Jay-Z w/ Beyonce Knowles Lyrics

À eux deux, ils forment le gang Barrow
Together, they form the Barrow gang

Leurs noms, Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow
Their names are Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde

I'm swimming in light like my homie in cocoon
I am surrounded by success and greatness, like my friend who is emerging from a tough time

The truth like bones of man under the moon
The truth is revealed in plain sight, like bones of a man in the moonlight

We reign all year round from June to June
Our power and success are constant throughout the year

While niggas bite immediately if not soon
Others try to copy and steal our style as soon as possible

Peace to GZA, no beef with RZA
Respect to GZA and no issues with RZA

Please Flex, drop an atom bomb on the wizard
DJ Flex, please play a powerful beat for the wizard (referring to Jay-Z)

Hurricane Katrina winds, blow me a blizzard
The winds of Hurricane Katrina were strong, just like the impact of my music

FEMA is an acronym show me who is it
FEMA is a program that seems to disappear when needed most

New Orleans on the map again, the flow is exquisite
Through my music, I am putting New Orleans back on the map and my flow is unparalleled

Soul-controller, Third Ward soldier
I have control over my soul and I am a fighter from the Third Ward

Jay Elec scratch and sniff, smell of magnolias
Jay Electronica is delivering rhymes that are sweet and fragrant, just like magnolias

I fell back from rap then hailed back with Hova
I took a break from music for a while, but now I'm back and collaborating with Jay-Z

Just like I told you on 'Extra Extra'
I am delivering on the promises I made in my previous works

You fucking with a young black Professor Tesla
I am a brilliant and innovative young black artist

A two-faced handshake rejects the gesture
I am not interested in fake or insincere relationships

Turn the other cheek and caress the scepter
I will forgive and move on, but I will also maintain control and power

It takes a nation of millions to advertise ya
It takes a huge effort to promote oneself successfully

But only one Benedict to sabotage ya
It only takes one disloyal person to ruin everything

Ever heard of Malcolm Little? Ask Elijah
Malcolm X was once known as Malcolm Little, and to learn more, ask Elijah Muhammad

You'll never reach heaven 'til your past defy ya
You cannot move on and succeed until you confront and overcome your past

The internet labeled me a cult-like savior
The internet portrays me as a leader and influencer among my fans

Class A grader, Complex, Fader
The media recognizes my exceptional talent and ability

Hit a nigga with a lightning bolt like Vader
My lyrics have the power to strike like a lightning bolt, similar to Darth Vader's force powers

The Earth spins every time the sun strike equator
My impact is so great that it can change the course of time and history

Mind's the magnet, body is the cabinet
My thoughts attract success and my body is a vessel for my talent

Lace up my Ballys and wallow in the magic
I am gearing up in my designer shoes and embracing my extraordinary abilities

I can't help it, Mont-Blanc felt tip
I am compelled to write and create, like the ink that spills from a Mont-Blanc pen

Y'all move lowkey but we stay stealth-ish
Others may keep a low profile, but we move about covertly and remain ahead of the game

Hail Roc Nation
Praise to Roc Nation (Jay-Z's entertainment company)

New World Order Ministry of Information, bitch nigga stop hating
We are part of the new world order and leading the entertainment industry, so stop hating on us

Y'all pop shit, we ready, y'all waiting
While others talk big, we are ready to perform and succeed

Y'all not ready for the colonization
Others are not prepared for our takeover and dominance

Quit faking
Stop pretending, be real and authentic

À eux deux, ils forment le gang Barrow
Together, they form the Barrow gang

Leurs noms, Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow
Their names are Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde
