The Only Lyrics You Need To Know From Beyonce's "Lemonade"
Juse Beats

On April 23rd, 2016, Beyoncé released her visual album "Lemonade" on HBO. And before the premiere ended, she released the album on Tidal. Tidal is basically another music sharing app like Apple Music or Spotify. Now, I myself am a ride or die Spotify user. However, upon hearing that the she was releasing "Lemonade" on Tidal, I sucked up my pride and downloaded the app. I then immediately went on to watch the short film which covered a number of topics ranging from marital infidelity (WTF JAY-Z?), to black rights, to black culture in general all while incorporating songs from the album and her own narration. Visually, the film incorporated images from antebellum times, urban settings, and homemade videos from Beyoncé’s life. The album also includes collaborations with a variety of artists like The Weeknd, Jack White, and Kendrick Lamar.

Pray You Catch Me

Nothing else ever seems to hurt like the smile on your face // When it's only in my memory //It don't hit me quite the same


Hold Up

What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy? // Jealous or crazy? // Or like being walked all over lately, walked all over lately // I'd rather be crazy

Don’t Hurt Yourself

And keep your money, I got my own // Get a bigger smile on my face, being alone // Bad motherf--ker, God complex

Sorry

Now you want to say you're sorry // Now you want to call me crying // Now you gotta see me wilding // Now I'm the one that's lying // And I don't feel bad about it // It's exactly what you get // Stop interrupting my grinding // I ain't thinking 'bout you

6 Inch

She works for the money, she work for the money // From the start to the finish // And she worth every dollar, she worth every dollar // And she worth every minute

Daddy Lessons

And he taught me to be strong // He told me when he's gone // Here's what you do // When trouble comes to town // And men like me come around // Oh, my daddy said shoot

Love Drought

Nine times out of ten, I'm in my feelings // But ten times out of nine, I'm only human

Sandcastles

And your heart is broken cause I walked away // Show me your scars and I won't walk away


Freedom

Hey! I'ma keep running // Cause a winner don't quit on themselves

All Night

Our love was stronger than your pride // Beyond your darkness, I'm your light


Formation

You just might be a black Bill Gates in the making, cause I slay // I just might be a black Bill Gates in the making

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
