Beyoncé: nova canção + teledisco

Desde Novembro de 2014 que Beyoncé não lançava uma nova canção. Valeu a pena esperar: Formation é um pequeno prodígio de invenção e elegância, desenvolvendo uma estrutura em que cabem fragmentos das memórias afro-americanas, tanto quanto imagens do furacão Katrina, passando por sugestivas especulações sobre a democratização da riqueza: 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 [letra, tal como divulgada pelo site JustJared].
Teledisco a condizer — fulgurante e subtil, com realização de Melina Matsoukas.

[Intro: Messy Mya]

What happened at the New Wil’ins?

Bitch, I'm back by popular demand

[Refrain: Beyonce]

Y'all haters corny with that illuminati mess

Paparazzi, catch my fly, and my cocky fresh

I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress (stylin')

I'm so possessive so I rock his Roc necklaces

My daddy Alabama, Momma Louisiana

You mix that negro with that Creole make a Texas bamma

I like my baby hair, with baby hair and afros

I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils

Earned all this money but they never take the country out me

I got a hot sauce in my bag, swag

[Interlude: Messy Mya + Big Freedia]

Oh yeah baby, oh yeah I, ohhhhh, oh yes I like that

I did not come to play with you hoes, haha

I came to slay, bitch

I like cornbreads and collard greens, bitch

Oh yes, you besta believe it

[Refrain: Beyonce]

Y'all haters corny with that illuminati mess

...

[Chorus: Beyonce]

I see it, I want it

I stunt, yeah, yellow bone it

I dream it, I work hard

I grind 'til I own it

I twirl on them haters

Albino alligators

El Camino with the seat low

Sippin' Cuervo with no chaser

Sometimes I go off, I go off

I go hard, I go hard

Get what's mine, take what's mine

I'm a star, I'm a star

Cause I slay, slay

I slay, hey, I slay, okay

I slay, okay, all day, okay

I slay, okay, I slay okay

We gon' slay, slay

Gon' slay, okay

We slay, okay

I slay, okay

I slay, okay

Okay, okay, I slay, okay

Okay, okay, okay, okay

Okay, okay, ladies, now let's get in formation, cause I slay

Okay ladies, now let's get in formation, cause I slay

Prove to me you got some coordination, cause I slay

Slay trick, or you get eliminated

[Verse 1: Beyonce]

When he fuck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, cause I slay

When he fuck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, cause I slay

If he hit it right, I might take him on a flight on my chopper, cause I slay

Drop him off at the mall, let him buy some J's, let him shop up, cause I slay

I might get your song played on the radio station, cause I slay

I might get your song played on the radio station, cause I slay

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

[Chorus: Beyonce]

I see it, I want it

...

[Bridge: Beyonce]

Okay ladies, now let's get in formation, I slay

Okay ladies, now let's get in formation

You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation

Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper

[Outro]

Girl I hear some thunder

Golly this is that water boy, oh lord
