“Gimme my check, put some respek on my check Or pay me in equity (Pay me in equity) Watch me reverse out of debt (Skrrt) He got a bad bitch, bad bitch We livin’ lavish, lavish I get expensive fabrics I got expensive habits He wanna go with me (Go with me) He like to roll the weed (Roll the weed) He wanna be with me (Be with me) He wanna give me that vitamin D (D) Ice ornaments, icy style tournaments (Woo)”
3. Beyoncé – Formation
Yoncé had everyone getting into FORMATION in 2016 with her Grammy nominated visual. Double entendres, spot-on delivery, and that flow switch up makes this one of our favorite Beyoncé verse ever.
“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 bama”
4. Beyoncé – Diva
Can you believe its been over 10 years since Beyoncé released “Diva”?! Even though this song consists more of a rap/singing style, she raps the first two lines to set the tone:
“Stop the track, let me state facts. I told you, gimme a minute and I’ll be right back.”
5. Nicki Minaj – Feeling Myself ft. Beyoncé
When this happened in 2014, the same energy the internet had with the Meg collaboration is exactly how everyone reacted when Nicki Minaj and Bey finally hopped on a track.
“Changed the game with that digital drop Know where you was when that digital popped”
6. Beyoncé – Partition
It seems like Beyoncé stepped into another character as YONCÉ on her hit single “Partition”. Her laid back second verse is what steals the show!
“Drop the bass, mane, the bass get lower Radio say speed it up I just go slower High like treble, pumping on them mids Ya man ain’t never seen a booty like this And why you think ya keep my name rolling off your tongue Cause when you want a smash, I’ll just write another one I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor”
7. Beyoncé – 7/11
With over a 500M views on YouTube, 7/11 is one of the biggest records from Queen B over the past few years. Even though this was a bonus track, the swagger displayed can’t be denied!
“Sweatin’ on my blow out Sweatin’ on my dress This trick about to go off Mad ’cause I’m so fresh”
8. Beyoncé – Upgrade U ft. Jay-Z
Two years before getting married, Jay Z & Beyoncé were already beginning to build their dynasty. On her 2006 album B’Day, fans get a taste of that other side of Beyoncé. Even though most of the song highlights her strong vocal ability, it’s the end of the track when she raps about the luxury items she’s purchased to change her mans life.
“Audemars Piguet watch, dimples in ya necktie Hermes briefcase, Cartier tie clips Silk-lined blazers, diamond creamed facials VVS cuff links, six-star pent suites Partna, let me, upgrade ya, grade ya Partna, partna, let me, upgrade ya, grade ya Let me, let me, let me, upgrade ya, grade ya Partna, partna, partna, let me upgrade ya (Huh!)”
9. Beyoncé – Flawless Remix ft Nicki Minaj
Once again, two of the biggest artists of the past decade link up for the official remix of “Flawless”. Not only was this another incredible record, it also showed Beyoncé knows how to address certain headlines, specifically that infamous Solange / Jay Z elevator situation…
“Of course sometimes shit go down When it’s a billion dollars on an elevator Of course sometimes shit go down When it’s a billion dollars on an elevator Ha-ha! God damn, God damn, God damn!!!”
