Crazy In Love
noredirect/Beyonce Lyrics

Yes
Affirmative acknowledgement to proceeding with the song

It's so crazy right now
The emotions being experienced are intense and overwhelming

Most incredibly, it's ya girl, B
The artist, Beyonce, is the singer of the song

It's ya boy, young
An introduction to Jay-Z's part in the song

You ready?
Asking the listener if they are prepared for what is to come

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Repetitive sound effect indicating an impending change or climax in the song

Yeah, history in the making
Significance of the song in relation to the artist's personal journey

Part two, it's so crazy right now
Continuation of the overwhelming feelings expressed earlier in the song

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
Expressing a deep level of connection and attachment to another person

I touch on you more and more every time
Growing fondness and physical intimacy with the other person

When you leave, I'm begging you not to go
Feeling of desperation and intense desire to be with the other person

Call your name two, three times in a row
Longing for the other person's presence and attention

Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
Acknowledging the difficulty in expressing and understanding these intense feelings

How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
The singer's ego is inhibiting their ability to fully express their emotions

'Cause I know I don't understand
Admitting the complexity of the situation and emotional experience

Just how your love can do what no one else can
The other person's love has a unique and powerful effect on the artist

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
The other person's love has an intense impact on the artist's behavior and emotions

Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Longing for physical affection and connection with the other person

Looking so crazy, your love's
The powerful impact of the other person's love is overwhelming and driving the singer to act in a certain way

When I talk to my friends so quietly
Speaking privately about the other person to close friends

Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me
The other person has drastically altered the artist's emotional state and behavior

Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
The other person's love and acceptance is more important than material possessions or societal expectations

If you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
The other person's presence is paramount in the singer's life

It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
The other person brings a new perspective and understanding to the artist's life

It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
The physical and emotional impact of being with the other person

But I still don't understand
Despite the powerful emotions, the complexity and depth of the situation is still difficult to comprehend

Young 'Hov, y'all know when the flow is loco
Introduction to Jay-Z's rap section of the song

Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh (oh)
Reference to the record label, Roc-A-Fella, that both artists were signed to at the time

Ol' G, big homey, the one and only
Jay-Z's reputation and expertise in the music industry

Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony Soprano (oh no)
Despite his thin frame, Jay-Z's financial success is significant

The ROC handle like Van Axel
The record label's control and management is as effective as a high-end car

I shake phonies, man, you can't get next to
Jay-Z is skilled at identifying and disassociating from inauthentic people

The genuine article, I do not sing though
Jay-Z is a genuine and authentic rapper, not a singer

I sling though, if anything, I bling yo
Jay-Z's wealth and material possessions are a demonstration of his success

A star like Ringo, war like a Green Beret
Jay-Z is both a notable figure in the entertainment industry and a formidable contender in the rap game

Crazy bring ya whole set
Jay-Z's rap style is dynamic and powerful enough to influence a whole group of people

Jay Z in the range, crazy and deranged
Jay-Z is unorthodox and unconventional in his approach to music

They can't figure him out, they like, "Hey, is he insane?"
Others struggle to understand Jay-Z's artistic approach and methodology

Yessir, I'm cut from a different cloth
Jay-Z is unique and distinct from other artists in his genre

My texture is the best fur, chinchilla
Jay-Z's rap technique and style is top-tier and of high quality

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) I been iller than chain smokers
Jay-Z is superior to other talented artists, such as famous chain smokers

How you think I got the name Hova?
Jay-Z's nickname, Hova, was earned through his talent and skill in the music industry

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) I been realer, the game's over
Jay-Z's authenticity and genuine nature sets him apart from others, and marks the end of competition within the rap game

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) Fall back, young, ever since I made the change over
Jay-Z is advising less experienced artists to step back and let him takeover since he switched up his style

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) To platinum the game's been wrap, one
Jay-Z has achieved platinum status in the music industry, and is no longer concerned with achieving more success

Got me looking so crazy, my baby
The other person has made the artist feel and behave in a way that is unusual for them

I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this
The singer is acting out of character due to the intense emotions caused by the other person

I've been playing myself, baby, I don't care
The artist is willing to accept the potential consequences of their actions because of their feelings for the other person

'Cause your love's got the best of me
The other person's love has taken a hold of the singer's emotions and behavior

And, baby, you're making a fool of me
The other person's love is causing the singer to act in a silly or foolish manner

You got me sprung and I don't care who sees
The singer is unashamed of their attraction and attachment to the other person

Got me looking so crazy, baby
The other person has caused the artist to act erratically and in an extreme manner

Hey
Expression of enthusiasm or excitement

Your love's
Continuing to emphasize the powerful impact of the other person's love

Looking so crazy in love's
The other person's love has caused the singer to feel and behave in a way that is unusual or out of control
