Refer to me as a goddess, I'm tired of being modest
A hundred degrees, the hottest, if we being honest
Ebony and ebonics, black people win

Come on!
Do you agree? (We agree!)
The queen has arrived
Don't underestimate my power
I will discipline the bullheaded
Be quiet (We are calm)
The demon within me has arisen
Ask those who know about me
There will be nothing when I'm done
Watch out! (We see!)
It's me and my friend
We brought the weapons
Cowards don't mix with us
Be seated (Give the orders)
You see, this is problematic
We will fix it, trust me
Assemble the warriors and let's finish it now

When Beyoncé says:

"This that rhythm, this that lightning

This that burn, this ain't no perm
This that nappy, this that urb'
This that kinfolk, this that skinfolk
This that war, this that bloodline"

I felt that in my soul. I'm proud to be a person of color!

I’m not of African heritage or a black person, but I really appreciate Beyoncé making this album, I love to see people being proud of their culture and flaunt their pride for their heritage in their artistry , celebrating who they are to show that they aren’t ashamed of what history deemed them to be. I support this spirit and passion. I think it’s beautiful and inspiring, and a good examples for generations to come

As a white woman of Irish decent I have much respect and appreciation for people of African heritage. Warriors then and now! They can overcome anything!
