[Intro: Oumou Sangaré]
Aa! dennin! k'an bɛn sɔgɔma!
Aa! dennin! k'an bɛn sɔgɔma!
N jarabi, n makɔnɔ yan! dennin! miiri man ɲi!
N jarabi, n makɔnɔ yan! dennin! nɛnɛ man ɲi!
Nnn! nɛnɛ man ɲi!

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I know my enemy prey on me, so pray for me
Tick, tick, wait on it,
I'm keepin' down my body count,
I'm finessin' like a trap bounce, a trap bounce, yeah!
'Cause every day above ground is a blessing,
I done leveled up now, view panoramic,
None of my fears can't go where I'm headed,
Had to cut 'em loose, now I'm loose, break the levy, yeah!
I'm 'bout to flood on 'the roof, flood on the ceiling,
The rain and thunder gon' fall, go Mutumbo, no, no center,
You can't dim my light.

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
'Cause when we walk up in the club
I need them sirens goin' off,
Then we can look up in the sky,
The tears we cry let us know that we alive, yeah, yeah!
It give me goosebumps every time,
I threw up my diamond,
Together we're big timin',
Don't make me have to remind ya.

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I got my cup up to the heavens,
Another night I won't remember,
Promise this my mood forever,
Promise this my mood forever, ever.
Dancers dancin' on the bezel,
This kinda feelin' unforgettable,
Promise this my mood forever,
Promise this my mood forever.
Forever and ever,
Forever and ever.

[Verse 2: Jay-Z (Beyoncé)]
You heard that?
That's the sound of the price goin' up.
Forever, and ever-ever, and ever-ever, (Yeah, yeah)
At the Saxon Madiba suite, like Mandela, (Yeah, yeah)
Bumpin' Fela on the Puma jet, like we from Lagos, (My daughter)
Mansa Musa reincarnated, we on our levels, (He 'bout business)
That's a billi', a thousand milli',
First one to see a B out these housing buildings,
I be feelin' like Prince in '84, (Ow)
Mike in '79, Biggie in '97, '94 Nas.
Ali bomaye, no kumbaya,
Just give me the sommelier, (I got it) I'm on La Tâche,
Helmet, on a jetski, you know the vibes,
Hit my head, forget I'm me, (I love it) oh my God!
Without the God in the XY, (Yeah, yeah)
I'm afraid the whole game would be colonized, (Yeah, yeah)
The marathon will be televised for N.I.P.,
'Cause true kings don't die, we multiply, peace!

[Verse 3: Beyoncé]
I'm so unbothered, I'm so unbothered,
Y'all be so pressed while I'm raisin' daughters,
Sons of empires, y'all make me chuckle,
Stay in your struggle, crystal blue water.
Piña colada-in', you stay Ramada Inn,
My baby father, bloodline Rwanda.
Why would you try me? Why would you bother?
I am Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.
I am the Nala, sister of Naruba,
Osun, Queen Sheba, I am the mother,
Ankh on my gold chain, ice on my whole chain,
I be like soul food, I am a whole mood.

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
'Cause when we walk up in the club
I need them sirens goin' off,
Then we can look up in the sky,
The tears we cry let us know that we alive, yeah, yeah!
It give me goosebumps every time,
I threw up my diamond,
Together we're big timin',
The children are our reminder.

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I got my cup up to the heavens,
Another night I won't remember,
Promise this my mood forever,
Promise this my mood forever, ever.
Dancers dancin' on the bezel,
This kinda feelin' unforgettable,
Promise this my mood forever,
Promise this my mood forever.
Forever and ever,
Ever, forever,
Forever and ever,
Ever and ever and ever.
Time to break it down now!

[Bridge: Childish Gambino]
All praise to...
My enemies still pressed.
Get along,
'Cause I've bet on myself.
I'm dancin',
Ancestors in my step,
Now I move better, ooh!
And I live on, on,
I feel a change goin' on,
Royalty in my blood, run the kingdom,
The more money, more problem season.
But don't nothing get you out your way,
Rise up higher,
Jump, jump and don't look down,
You're so far from the ground,
You're way–

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
I got my cup up to the heavens,
Another night I won't remember,
Promise this my mood forever,
Promise this my mood forever, ever.
Dancers dancin' on the bezel,
This kinda feelin' unforgettable,
Promise this my mood forever,
Promise this my mood forever,
Forever and ever!
