    how do we know Beyonce ain't have anything to do with this, there's always the possibility that Beyonce picked this song for them to have fun with

    The broads are mouthing the lyrics word for word, just maybe, maybe they love the song

    Don't know of Amy Schaumer, and nobody that does

    I couldn't imagine sitting around my circle and bringing up Amy Schaumer, ? will look at me different

    How all these people hate her but know so much about her

    she is very popular and i think the hate come with the territory these days.

    I don't really care for Beyoncé music in general or that song; however, that formation song was Bey's attempt at being socially and politically conscious so to many in her cult like following being critical of that is off limits.

    Again I'm not a fan of most of her catalogue after Dangerously In Love.

    She's an excellent performer, but comes off as an air head in interviews and in other unscripted situations. I respect her hustle and putting a team around her that allows her to play to her strengths though that's smart.

    Pretty much every black woman we know ? with the song. So what? Because black women like something, that makes it "racist" to make fun of it. Ya'll ? are silly as ? man for real. No if someone makes a Tyler Perry parody, will that ? be racist too. Black women love his ? too.

    And show me the socially conscious part of the song because I thought maybe I just didn't listen closely enough to it. She got two lines professing love for black phenotypes, but past that I don't see it. It's basically just the Beyonce version of commercial rap.
    [Intro: Messy Mya]
    What happened at the New Wil’ins?
    ? , I'm back by popular demand

    [Refrain: Beyoncé]
    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 ? with that Creole make a Texas bama
    I like my baby heir with baby hair and afros
    I like my ? 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, ?
    I like cornbreads and collard greens, ?
    Oh, yes, you besta believe it

    [Refrain: Beyoncé]
    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 ? with that Creole make a Texas bama
    I like my baby heir with baby hair and afros
    I like my ? 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

    [Chorus: Beyoncé]
    I see it, I want it, I stunt, 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), 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: Beyoncé]
    When he ? me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, cause I slay
    When he ? 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: Beyoncé]
    I see it, I want it, I stunt, yellow-bone it
    I dream it, I work hard, I grind 'til I own it
    I twirl on my 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), 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

    [Bridge: Beyoncé]
    Okay, ladies, now let's get in formation, I slay
    Okay, ladies, now let's get in formation
    You know you that ? when you cause all this conversation
    Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper

    [Outro:]
    Girl, I hear some thunder
    Golly, look at that water, boy, oh lord

    It's not about including them. This ? is an unfunny parody. They don't need our acceptance to make fun of our ? just like we don't need their approval to make fun of them. I can't believe there are dudes in here acting like it's a big deal that some corny CaC comedian made fun of a Beyonce song. Really ? ? Really?

    Black people put too much emotional investment in celebrity worship.

    It's one of the reasons black people are so religious because celebrity worship and "idol worship" are two sides of the same coin.

    Meanwhile, as the Beyhive attacks, and the congregation prays, somebody who doesn't have our best interest is always profiting from our "worship."

    Amy Schumer probably collaborated on this WITH Beyonce (surprise, it's on Tidal).

    Rich people playing black consumers like a banjo.

    Nah. I thought that was just crazy disrespectful, considering PO died due to his diabetes less than six months later....and this was before she had a show, a movie deal, any of that ? .

    She's just doing what privilege do, now that Hollywood gave her power. I just steered clear of that unfunny horseshit long ago and now.

    At least they moved on from Oprah. I was really getting tired of ? acting like Oprah is an expert on everything just because she made a lot of money of bored housewives.

    Explain why we see this type of trash coming from Cacs? If, Black folks were out here doing the same you'd have a point. But you don't so please move along.
