I love how she just proudly acts crazy. Women are gaslighted so much when we finally react to abuse. This stuff is so freeing to anyone who’s been through betrayal
Well im not gaslighting you or saying its your fault for being treated poorly, but reacting in crazy ways in general is what makes someone say youre being crazy lol
I used to see her as a role model but I find her music too far out there for me ... she is so beautiful and talented .. wish she would go back to her earlier music and styling
People be saying “wow if Beyoncé gets cheated on, then what hope do we have?” But that’s bull crap. The answer isn’t that Beyoncé wasn’t woman enough, it was that Jay-Z wasn’t man enough. The problem wasn’t with her, it was with him. The problem isn’t with you, it’s with your significant other. There is never an excuse to cheat.
There is no excuse for cheating, but we can't deny that Beyonce is a hard person to work with, let alone live with. She's type A personality and her biggest error (mentioned in this song) was thinking that being sexy/pretty was supposed to be enough, when relationships require far more work than that. Jay-Z clued us in when he rapped about her at the age of 23 being far more absorbed in her career than in him. There were also clues with the way she treated her girl group members, and how she overworks her staff. She can be a bit of a dictator, sweet on the outside, but undermining you at the same time. Beyonce relied too much on the surface, focusing her value on her beauty, sex appeal, and her talent. Jay-Z probably hungered for someone with substance and a bit more refined in class (less ass shaking and hip grinding), which is why the woman he cheated with is known for her smarts and elegance. Ultimately, Jay-Z was wrong for cheating, but I can absolutely see why someone like Beyonce could get cheated on. Our perception of her perfection is intentionally curated by her. Her manufactured brand image can mislead us to believe she's perfect, but truth is we don't know what happens behind closed doors. We only know she tends to get possessive, jealous, insecure, controlling, overbearing, etc. Her husband should've divorced her, and gave them both the peace they needed. Beyonce is too invested in their brand of "black royalty" to break up, so he should've been the one to end it. Now bc of his weakness, they're both trapped in the brand & empire that they (mostly she) built.
YourMajesty143 how do u KNOW all of this? U know the lady? Interviews, opinions and all a that can be curated like.....ur really sitting there acting like jay z was a complete saint, like loving him was the easiest thing she could have done. Relationships take work, and obviously he wanted the whole black royalty thing cuz he didn’t divorce her neither like what are u even saying
I tried to change, closed my mouth more tried to be softer, prettier, less awake. Fasted for 60 days, wore white abstained from mirrors, abstained from sex. Slowly did not speak another word In that time my hair grew past my ankles I slept on a mat on the floor I swallowed a sword I levitated Into the basement confessed my sins and was baptized in a river. Got on my knees and said Amen And said I mean I whipped my own back and asked for dominion at your feet I threw myself into a volcano I drank the blood and drank the wine I sat alone and begged and bent at the waist for God I crossed myself and thought I saw the Devil. I grew thickened skin on my feet, I bathed in bleach, and plugged my menses with pages from the holy book. But still inside me coiled deep was the need to know "Are you cheating on me?" Like this so others can see
During the production of this music video, I was the operator of the Air Horn!!! Four years at music college for this!!! Beyonce personally thanked me after the final cut!!! Very proud of myself.
Beyoncé’s words sent chills up my spine. I been in quite a few shitty relationships and wonder if it was wrong to break up with my exes… then I put on Lemonade and immediately reassure myself that it wasn’t wrong
Lemonade is a testament to trying to heal yourself and your relationship. Plus her and the goblin have kids so why wouldn’t they try to work things out? When life gives you lemons, what do you do?
@@PolishedBeautythey have kids i always have respect for marriages because we don’t know what’s going on. Like Kim Kadashian said „if you have kids, you lowkey trapped“.
I love the part where she goes "are you cheating on me?" Cause up to that point she was being all poetic and then she just gives it to us straight. Are you cheating on me?
No one truly realizes how freeing it's to let the crazy out and just break things when you're heartbroken. Takes you to a whole other level. This video shows that in it's purest form. Every woman has an inner Harley Quinn and on this day Beyonce met and let hers shine ❤❤
For all of those people criticizing Beyoncé about the introduction, she didn’t actually do any of these things. She is reading a poem by Warsan Shire, a British 27 year-old poet who was referenced in the visual album for Lemonade.
I came back to watch this years later, and I can’t believe that I didn’t realize back then that Lemonade is like an art show/movie. This “segment” of lemonade is showing how being cheated on can drive you crazy. Beyonce is smiling while she destroys everything in her path. She’s truly lost her mind lol. The opening monologue is her expressing her desperation of not be cheated on. Her words were so dramatic, because that’s exactly how it feels when you’re in love with someone, and then you find out that your partner has been unfaithful or lied to you. It’s said that being in love is a chemical imbalance after all. I feel like I need to watch lemonade again. I wonder what else I missed.
Bee Davis period. Ima watch it again this weekend. I was reading about the inspiration behind the Love Drought video, and basically it is about female slaves that killed themselves when they came to america, because they felt dying was better than being slaves in America. Powerful stuff
The way she channeled her grief and pain into incredible art Beyoncé is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure she will be #1 soon due to 💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖
What I love about Beyoncé is that she never goes public when there’s a polemical involving her name, she tells the story for us through her music. That’s how she confim it.
I'll admit, i never used to be a fan of Beyonce, but you know what I love about her now? She took a massive risk by doing something completely out of her comfort zone, considering she's known to be an RnB artist. She's a hard working female artist and is a flawless performer. Her lemonade album is probably the best album that has ever been released. Watch Lemonade in full...trust me. "Daddy Lesson" (country), "Don't Hurt Yourself" (Rock), "All Night" (Alternative), "Sandcastle"/"Pray You Catch Me" (ballad). It's a mixture of genres. People complain that Beyonce is boring and does the same thing all the time. Lol if only haters knew. Appreciate art and get over yourselves. Btw, those who are saying she's overrated, let me just say your "overrated" word is overrated. Beyonces toe nail is worth more than your house. Sorry not sorry!
someone had to be honest? so you're saying that you are being honest when claiming this is the best album ever? riiiiiiight.. the fact that this song sounds just like r kelly trapped in a closet while trying to steal yeah yeah yeahs lyrics word for word.. i wouldnt call that artistry.. sorry, but if you have to have others hand you songs that were created by somebody else only to do a piss poor version of it? well then you just suck.
Can I just ask: what makes fans believe that these lyrics are a reflection of real life situations? Beyoncé sang many songs about being heartbroken including “irreplaceable” and “broken hearted girl”. Why was this one suddenly taken so seriously? Serious question. I’m genuinely curious 🧡
@@homegirl4155 because this song was released right after jay z cheated and everyone speculates that this song is about how she felt and I’ve heard jay z knew she made this song before releasing and gave permission as he was sorry for being unfaithful towards her.
@@kfkfiles what does covering your private parts with pages of the bible have to do with getting cheated on ? its rude, disrespectful, and uncalled for. its blasphemy.
@@kfkfiles let me ask you this.. if she would’ve used any other religion and their holy books or scriptures they have, to use under this context, would you still call it poetry ? people have no problem laughing and making fun of the Christian belief but the second its anything else, people go rampage.. explain that
Beyonce has been with Jay Z since she was 18 so I know that sh*t rocked her to the core! And just like a great artist does, she channeled it in her music.
LOVE the underwater shots. I don't think people really appreciate how hard it is to look natural. Most people puff their cheeks up, swuint their eyes, or get water up their nose and freak out. As an underwater performer I gotta say she slays thi
She said girls would lie and hide from Jay if he didn’t have the money and fame. She basically called his ass ugly, which he truly is, in every sense of the word. I love that she put this on wax. That’s how you put somebody on blast.
that’s so weird that she can agree he’s ugly as fuck but still be with him. like beyoncé really could’ve got herself such a fine man... but i suppose it doesn’t matter what male it is because the knowles genes will dominate period
Honestly jayz isn't a bad guy and yea he made a lot of mistakes in the past and mistakes that's really fucked but he's not truly a bad guy but that's my opinion
He lied to make her think she was jealous and crazy to the point where she thought she needed antidepressants. But she knew he was lying. Not jealous and crazy she was right. What a wicked way to treat the one who loves you...
@@brandnew9834 nigga what??? U is tripping bruuh. So ur basically saying its partly her fault he cheated cause she was acting like a diva (which she actually is) ohmygawww i can’t even
@@brandnew9834 just say you're sexist and leave. jay-z travels and leaves home a lot too. he chose to cheat. lmao. and dont be in black women's business like that. she is a victim because she had all those kids with him and married him and treated him like the love of her house just for him to cheat and that's very much micro aggressively racist to say a lot of rappers sleep with a lot of women. you're just disgusting.
@@josephine1084 1) It’s going on 6pm, dinner isn’t gonna make itself. 2) Y’all stay trying to play the victim. You complain and cry, and people really get tired of you. 3) She knew his track record, she knew how much access he had to women, she knew who he used to date. She was told better, and she still wanted what she wanted. So live with it.
@@brandnew9834 hmm so you're a grown up who is unable to take care of yourself. got it. maybe if you stopped being an incel and looked at this from both perspectives both are equally bad...and lastly...if two people decide to get married. they put their differences aside especially their past and and trust into each other. so if either party cheats it's both bad
Is there any doubt that B is the heir to all great music - to Joni and Janis and Ella and Nina. Her looks, her VOICE, her lyrics, her songs. Lord Mary it’s insane how great this woman is. People talk about the great songwriters, Joni, Paul Simon, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Winder, Bob Dylan - Jesus Christ Beyoncé is in that list or should be. Any suggestion that she isn’t is racist or misogynistic. No shit. She. Is. Gold. ❤
She is an amazing performer but she doesn't write most of her lyrics, unlike the others in the list. It absolutely doesn't take away from her talent though
That's what happens when someone you're in love with cheats on you... You could be the baddest bitch on the planet and think you're ugly and worthless because you think you can't compare to the other woman
I don't think he ever insulted her or berated her, I can't see him doing that. He just happened to cheat with a really beautiful woman who looks different from his wife and that made Beyonce feel some type of way.
@@anana8389 Lol, I don't know about that. If both of them took off the make up, had no fake hair Rachel Roy might be a little better looking. Beyonce is still hot though. Jay didn't just cheat with her because of looks though, he's a really intelligent guy. Rachael is educated, and a successful designer. She seems more sophisticated than Beyonce.
kate victoria I don't worship anyone . I respect Beyoncé, not in any way worship her.and 6 is just my favorite number. Nothing to do whit evil ,illuminating etc
Regardless ,she is one in a billion. This talent is super human,beyond legend.people will listen to her and will be influenced hundreds of years from now
The fasting, wearing white, and not having intercourse and stuff are all muslim traditions for the mourning period after a womens husband dies. I love the poetry.
You didn't get it right? She's not happy, she was so desperate and upsdt because of this, that she went crazy. And I think that's that what she wants to show us.
In Lukumi cosmology when Ochun is angry she laughs. There’s a story where she joyously destroys a village. There is no question that she is embodying this divine feminine force.
that’s the point. she is losing her mind but putting pretending as if everything is okay. “hopping out the bed” like the cheating is not utterly crushing her.
@@jillreyerma7592 Shut up don't say that. She said she uses the bible as a tampon.. "I plug my MENSES with the pages from the holy book" . that's not christianity that's blasphemy. She said she saw the devil..... As soon as she said that you saw her morph into a weird shape and she was covered in red referencing luciferianism. Had the bible floating underwater.. And was swimming in the air moving weird af. She's clearly a witch. That's why u see Jay Z hanging with the likes of Marina Abramovic....
Adìa shit. Beyoncé doesn’t deserve him. Her intro is psycho. No wonder he named his first child after his ex. Beyonce cheated too. He jus don’t give a fukk.
If someone is cheating, you leave them. No resorting to violence or trying to convince them you love them more. They know you love them and won’t leave and will try harder because you think it has to do with your lack when in fact it has to do with their lack - their lack of love for you.
This song actually came out the day after I found I was cheated on with my best friend a year ago Here just to remind myself it wasn't my fault just men cheat they can't help it
I love how in the opening she is drowning herself in water(which is often a simple of purity) while the poem is about trying to purify herself even though her worries linger. Then later she destroys the fire hydrant and dances in the water-joyous in the truth(the purest thing there is) that she once drowned herself with
Beyonce is confessing to us how she sold her soul and cheating on the devil with jesus and how she is a warlock.. Jay-Z is just a cover up for the people still stuck in the matrix...you have to go deeper down the rabbit hole to really understand.
Who is here because they just got cheated on…. I am! I love Beyoncé, but I was never able to relate to this album until now. She is pouring out my feelings….
I understand the concept behind asking: “How could someone cheat on Beyoncé?” But how many good women, like her, get mistreated and taken for granted? You’ll never be pretty enough, tall enough, kind enough, compassionate enough, smart enough, sexy enough for someone to do you wrong when THEY choose to. Update: Just seen this tweet from 2 years ago acquired 6.2 likes - I see you all 😊
How easy it is when you have everything you want in a woman to want just a little more. It's a fight that I think everyone with their dream woman has, I know I had it, and it led me down a path I shouldn't have gone down. I imagine the man loses the fight when the relationship takes a sour turn, we broke up a few months later, completely unrelated, she never knew.
Is never the fault of the person who gets cheated, is always the choice of the person who cheats. And men cheat because, as much as they claim to respect and love us, deep down they don't really see us as fully human. They either sanctify our qualities (i cheat because i dont feel good enough for you) or demonize our flaws (i cheat because you're not good enough for me). i would say anyone who isnt reciprocal is a potential cheater... But specifically the men who dont care about your sexual, emotional, intelectual and financial needs once theirs are covered. Men who just give you time and affection when they want something from you, and ignore you once they get what they want.
Did she just call Jay ugly? "...imagine...you never made a name for yourself...never made it out the cage...never had the baddest woman...in your sheets...would they be down to ride? NO😅 they used to hide from you..."😂😂😂😂😂😂
Except that she credited them on it and they would royalties from it so she didn't rip anyrhinf off and she sure as hell as more talent than you could even imagine.
Rob Marshall Beyoncé has more talent in her pinky than anyone else currently breathing on this planet. Go somewhere else with your negativity and hatred.
Why is everyone acting oblivious to the spell she chanted in the beginning lmao Beyoncé ain’t been the same in so long Love her but yeahhhhhh she doesn’t hide that darkness
@@yourmomlolll-zf5we spirits having a flesh experience, we all got choices but yeah if you don’t anything on any spiritual aspect, I feel bad for ya Wake up lol✔️
Lawd child !!!! I just watched this again years later with added insight IFA. It's like having a new pair of eyes.... For sure, I wouldn't mess with Bey's man for $10Billion large for fear of my life. For sure. .. U are GOAT to pull all that in one video and make it sound good ... Large Respect ‼️
Ben Gaudreault you should be thankful for people like this ... it's probably the only compliment you've ever got ... so actually ... you need to stop thanks 😑
After being cheated on, I finally understand the symbolism at the beginning of the video. Bear in mind the Lemonade epic was full of spoken word artsy stuff…but that first bit of Beyonce in water is like her holding everything in. It’s like inhaling and attempting to be different for the sake of appearing sane, nice and okay. When she opens the doors it’s like she finally says “fuck it” I’d rather be crazy than jealous and so she lets all the “water” go and starts bashing up the whole darn town 😂 I know it may look obvious but you literally feel like you’re holding your breath/tongue when you know smn aint right and so I understood the opening of the doors and letting the water escape…. “You either say nothing and let it fuck you up, or say something and fuck it up yourself”
I dont listen to this album often (lets be honest a lot of these songs arent casual jams), but from start to finish it incapsulates so many of the stages, thoughts and feelings you go through after experiencing this its really a masterpiece in that way. As someone who experienced it too, going through the songs in order hits.
Many individuals will NOT understand this song at the beginning & it’s entirety if you haven’t been through this type of pain… especially when you love your man to the point you loose yourself & no relationship with God … that she said “ I whip MY own back & a** for dominion at your feet … which means she was praising him as King & had her going crazy … all in the name of marriage & love … making Bey feel like she crazy or something wrong with her and all the time Jay- Z ,he, was cheating…‼️
Such an amazing song that truly hits you where it’s meant to. I just hope it hits him just as hard, if not then more!! Thinking he being cute. Tutt tutt.
What’s Jay Z’s problem? He cant handle the fact she’s incredibly talented and the most beautiful woman of her generation?! He doesn’t deserve her that’s for sure!
@No Shit He can't that's why when they got married he took majority of her bags and control of her fortune.. it's even in her song Ring the alarm which was on her B day special...
Listen beyonce poem intro after 5 years broken heart and I repeated my cycles with different guy and still blaming myself but more rational. It's relieved me, relieved my grief.

sorry, but if you have to have others hand you songs that were created by somebody else only to do a piss poor version of it?
well then you just suck.
That 3:14 to 3:37 verse always gives me chills
From what book? 😕🤔
He was already famous when she got with him. That's why this lyrics never made sense to me.
“Less awake” i felt that. She’s such a beautiful soul
Beyonce: "tried to be prettier"
Me: *confusion intensifies *
She was cheated on, felt not enough. Happens to a lot of women feeling ugly because of their partners infidelity
😂😂😂😂
Can I just ask: what makes fans believe that these lyrics are a reflection of real life situations? Beyoncé sang many songs about being heartbroken including “irreplaceable” and “broken hearted girl”. Why was this one suddenly taken so seriously? Serious question. I’m genuinely curious 🧡
@@homegirl4155 because this song was released right after jay z cheated and everyone speculates that this song is about how she felt and I’ve heard jay z knew she made this song before releasing and gave permission as he was sorry for being unfaithful towards her.
Right? 😭

LOL YES
LMAOOOOOO
praying for y’all in the comments, hopefully you can all open your eyes and ears to what she’s saying in this song..
Yeah that she literally got cheated on, its obvious
@@kfkfiles what does covering your private parts with pages of the bible have to do with getting cheated on ? its rude, disrespectful, and uncalled for. its blasphemy.
@@hayleyesperanza3723 do you know poetry, how it works and just its definition? Just asking
@@kfkfiles let me ask you this.. if she would’ve used any other religion and their holy books or scriptures they have, to use under this context, would you still call it poetry ? people have no problem laughing and making fun of the Christian belief but the second its anything else, people go rampage.. explain that
@@kfkfiles “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Beyonce has been with Jay Z since she was 18 so I know that sh*t rocked her to the core! And just like a great artist does, she channeled it in her music.
LOVE the underwater shots. I don't think people really appreciate how hard it is to look natural. Most people puff their cheeks up, swuint their eyes, or get water up their nose and freak out. As an underwater performer I gotta say she slays thi
would you happen to know how they filmed that part?
not specifically but likely just in a small pool with green back drop so they could green screen in the background
+Lynda Harris bitchcraft and wiggitry
you mean computerized special effects
She's a witch
This song hits different when you’ve actually been cheated on
Right
Ik lol all I can think about in this sound is the boy who cheated on me
I mean, can't relate, I've never even had a bf or gf
same with when your best friend swoops up your crush
hurts so good
:/ sad but true
How is this 7 years AGO?!
I love how Beyonce expresses her feelings ❤
She said girls would lie and hide from Jay if he didn’t have the money and fame. She basically called his ass ugly, which he truly is, in every sense of the word. I love that she put this on wax. That’s how you put somebody on blast.
that’s so weird that she can agree he’s ugly as fuck but still be with him. like beyoncé really could’ve got herself such a fine man... but i suppose it doesn’t matter what male it is because the knowles genes will dominate period
true proof that love is blind to facts
Honestly jayz isn't a bad guy and yea he made a lot of mistakes in the past and mistakes that's really fucked but he's not truly a bad guy but that's my opinion
true
Blankie Plays he...cheated? To me that automatically means you’re a trash human being.
He lied to make her think she was jealous and crazy to the point where she thought she needed antidepressants. But she knew he was lying. Not jealous and crazy she was right. What a wicked way to treat the one who loves you...
Lol also he probably cheated on her because he got tired of the diva b.s. and ego.
@@brandnew9834 nigga what??? U is tripping bruuh. So ur basically saying its partly her fault he cheated cause she was acting like a diva (which she actually is) ohmygawww i can’t even
@@brandnew9834 just say you're sexist and leave. jay-z travels and leaves home a lot too. he chose to cheat. lmao. and dont be in black women's business like that. she is a victim because she had all those kids with him and married him and treated him like the love of her house just for him to cheat and that's very much micro aggressively racist to say a lot of rappers sleep with a lot of women. you're just disgusting.
@@josephine1084 1) It’s going on 6pm, dinner isn’t gonna make itself. 2) Y’all stay trying to play the victim. You complain and cry, and people really get tired of you. 3) She knew his track record, she knew how much access he had to women, she knew who he used to date. She was told better, and she still wanted what she wanted. So live with it.
@@brandnew9834 hmm so you're a grown up who is unable to take care of yourself. got it. maybe if you stopped being an incel and looked at this from both perspectives both are equally bad...and lastly...if two people decide to get married. they put their differences aside especially their past and and trust into each other. so if either party cheats it's both bad
Is there any doubt that B is the heir to all great music - to Joni and Janis and Ella and Nina. Her looks, her VOICE, her lyrics, her songs. Lord Mary it’s insane how great this woman is. People talk about the great songwriters, Joni, Paul Simon, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Winder, Bob Dylan - Jesus Christ Beyoncé is in that list or should be. Any suggestion that she isn’t is racist or misogynistic. No shit. She. Is. Gold. ❤
She is an amazing performer but she doesn't write most of her lyrics, unlike the others in the list. It absolutely doesn't take away from her talent though
what? she has Zero talent. and all you peasants speak like she cured cancer. shes so dull
The serenity and just giddy excitement while she relishes in her crazy here.. Just so well done! She ate this album downnn
If you’re making Beyoncé feel worthless, u know ur doing something wrong
@ur local mother bruh!! I'm over here wondering if they actually thought they said something different 🤔
Wow she’s that much of A God for y’all dumbasses.
@ur local mother Nah, that's some right wing conspiracy theorist propaganda shit
No if your making anyone worthless your doing something wrong
2cool true true
i don’t want to hear a time when little kids ask who is beyonce 🥺.
Admire M Beyoncé** 😂
I don't think this is happening anytime soon. She is a legend, kids today still (kind of) know who Michael Jackson is, for example.
10 month old me: WHO IS BEYONCÉ
Im a kid and I know who Beyoncé is
Admire M I freaking love your profile picture
You can literally be Beyoncé and men will still cheat. 😭
I can’t still yet. get over it why this masterpiece never won a Grammy.
Did JAY-Z really make Beyoncé feel like she was ugly
That’s right.
Its crazy how a ugly mofo can make a pretty girl feel like shit.
That's what happens when someone you're in love with cheats on you... You could be the baddest bitch on the planet and think you're ugly and worthless because you think you can't compare to the other woman
I don't think he ever insulted her or berated her, I can't see him doing that. He just happened to cheat with a really beautiful woman who looks different from his wife and that made Beyonce feel some type of way.
@@anana8389 Lol, I don't know about that. If both of them took off the make up, had no fake hair Rachel Roy might be a little better looking. Beyonce is still hot though. Jay didn't just cheat with her because of looks though, he's a really intelligent guy. Rachael is educated, and a successful designer. She seems more sophisticated than Beyonce.
This generation has been given the gift that is called Beyoncé.
A gift of God.👏🏻
davan666 youre name is 666, no wonder you worship beyonce
davan666 your*
kate victoria I don't worship anyone . I respect Beyoncé, not in any way worship her.and 6 is just my favorite number. Nothing to do whit evil ,illuminating etc
Regardless ,she is one in a billion. This talent is super human,beyond legend.people will listen to her and will be influenced hundreds of years from now
I’ll always love this song. And every once in a while I’ll watch this video and every time Beyoncé still takes my breath away, she’s a f*ing goddess
So proud of you Beyonce ❤ I wish you and your family much love and peace
So brave.... get this comment one billion likes bravo sob sob
The fasting, wearing white, and not having intercourse and stuff are all muslim traditions for the mourning period after a womens husband dies. I love the poetry.
ALSO after amen she said ameen
LMAO i thought that was what she was saying..!
she got it from a Somali poet
+Mohammed Abdulkarim which poet?
Warsan shire
She looks so happy
Slightly scary how happy she is
Oh my god very true 😭😭😭😭 but i like that other side of queen bey
Ochun.
You didn't get it right? She's not happy, she was so desperate and upsdt because of this, that she went crazy. And I think that's that what she wants to show us.
In Lukumi cosmology when Ochun is angry she laughs. There’s a story where she joyously destroys a village. There is no question that she is embodying this divine feminine force.
that’s the point. she is losing her mind but putting pretending as if everything is okay. “hopping out the bed” like the cheating is not utterly crushing her.
This whole album is really such a masterpiece but what a charade to make the best breakup album of our generation and then stay with that man.
Maybe shes finally done bc he's struck again...
WHAT?!?!?
This albums is a real masterpiece❤😢
*When Beyonce smashes cars she gets praised but when I do it I get handcuffed cmon now* 😒
Lmfaoaoaoaoao
LMAO😂

Okay but me

That first part of the video perfectly describes how cheating can mentally mess you up..
Sounds most like a satanic cult
@@pumaoutdoors
It's Christian.
Yes.
@@jillreyerma7592 Shut up don't say that.
She said she uses the bible as a tampon.. "I plug my MENSES with the pages from the holy book"
. that's not christianity that's blasphemy. She said she saw the devil..... As soon as she said that you saw her morph into a weird shape and she was covered in red referencing luciferianism.
Had the bible floating underwater.. And was swimming in the air moving weird af.
She's clearly a witch.
That's why u see Jay Z hanging with the likes of Marina Abramovic....

So Beyoncé is a witch? Cool.

Nobody talking about how fabulous that dress is ?
it's stunning

i love her dress
Jay-Z doesn’t deserve her at all. He’s a clown for cheating
@@BR4IN-R0T ahem forgiving
; emerino she has her reasons in sandcastles
Adìa shit. Beyoncé doesn’t deserve him. Her intro is psycho. No wonder he named his first child after his ex. Beyonce cheated too. He jus don’t give a fukk.
Natasha Campos proof?
@@natashacampos1351 truth
If someone is cheating, you leave them. No resorting to violence or trying to convince them you love them more. They know you love them and won’t leave and will try harder because you think it has to do with your lack when in fact it has to do with their lack - their lack of love for you.
OMG!!! Everything she says....she means!!! you can just tell!! ITS QUEEN B! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jay-Z really was out there cheating like he cute.
😂🤣🤣too funny😂🤣😭
XD
I really don’t know why Beyoncé was with him anyways he’s so ugly
Combat Wombat what happened
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She had fun smashing all those cars
I would lol.
Is me You I would have show have I live smashing cars I mean like cars my dad let me use to smash that is old that he had
@Susel lmao
Who wouldn’t
Beyonce in the kitchen
I had a goosebump just by listening to your songs, not the goosebump of impressing me but the goosebump of fear for u
Most artistic mental breakdown I've ever seen 😂
The dialogue intro hits differently when you just found out you’ve been cheated on
I just found out myself
Rachelle Balan sorry people that cheat immediately go to hell
Very true. I feel everything she said
This song actually came out the day after I found I was cheated on with my best friend a year ago
Here just to remind myself it wasn't my fault just men cheat they can't help it
Lulu Charlene true
I love how in the opening she is drowning herself in water(which is often a simple of purity) while the poem is about trying to purify herself even though her worries linger. Then later she destroys the fire hydrant and dances in the water-joyous in the truth(the purest thing there is) that she once drowned herself with
Ooof. ❤
Wow
Beyonce is confessing to us how she sold her soul and cheating on the devil with jesus and how she is a warlock.. Jay-Z is just a cover up for the people still stuck in the matrix...you have to go deeper down the rabbit hole to really understand.
@@naughtiea1810
????
Stop capping, drowning isnt purity? It means anxiety and pressure
Who is here because they just got cheated on…. I am! I love Beyoncé, but I was never able to relate to this album until now. She is pouring out my feelings….
Me too; until it happened to me.
Why does everybody ingnore the “I saw the devil” “and plugged my mensies with paiges from the holy book” 💀💀💀
right
It signifies how in disbelief she was when Jay z cheated
@@dae1396 gn
I understand the concept behind asking: “How could someone cheat on Beyoncé?” But how many good women, like her, get mistreated and taken for granted?
You’ll never be pretty enough, tall enough, kind enough, compassionate enough, smart enough, sexy enough for someone to do you wrong when THEY choose to.
Update: Just seen this tweet from 2 years ago acquired 6.2 likes - I see you all 😊
How easy it is when you have everything you want in a woman to want just a little more. It's a fight that I think everyone with their dream woman has, I know I had it, and it led me down a path I shouldn't have gone down. I imagine the man loses the fight when the relationship takes a sour turn, we broke up a few months later, completely unrelated, she never knew.
Fact
Is never the fault of the person who gets cheated, is always the choice of the person who cheats.
And men cheat because, as much as they claim to respect and love us, deep down they don't really see us as fully human.
They either sanctify our qualities (i cheat because i dont feel good enough for you) or demonize our flaws (i cheat because you're not good enough for me).
i would say anyone who isnt reciprocal is a potential cheater...
But specifically the men who dont care about your sexual, emotional, intelectual and financial needs once theirs are covered.
Men who just give you time and affection when they want something from you, and ignore you once they get what they want.

Who the frick would cheat on Beyonce???
No one she just ripped this song off of the yeah yeah yeahs. No talent tramp lol.
Except that she credited them on it and they would royalties from it so she didn't rip anyrhinf off and she sure as hell as more talent than you could even imagine.
Rob Marshall Beyoncé has more talent in her pinky than anyone else currently breathing on this planet. Go somewhere else with your negativity and hatred.
Casey Campbell i knooooow rightttt
Her husband that spent a few years with and has one child together
They want a loyal woman, but can’t be loyal smh

Who here is listening to all of Beyonce's songs in celebrating her making history for having the most Grammys
Me! 😁
Lol ayyee
Ofc 😌
You are so missing the point!
It’s ALL about relevance!
Always here 👌
After being cheated on, I finally understand the symbolism at the beginning of the video. Bear in mind the Lemonade epic was full of spoken word artsy stuff…but that first bit of Beyonce in water is like her holding everything in. It’s like inhaling and attempting to be different for the sake of appearing sane, nice and okay. When she opens the doors it’s like she finally says “fuck it” I’d rather be crazy than jealous and so she lets all the “water” go and starts bashing up the whole darn town 😂 I know it may look obvious but you literally feel like you’re holding your breath/tongue when you know smn aint right and so I understood the opening of the doors and letting the water escape….
“You either say nothing and let it fuck you up, or say something and fuck it up yourself”
I love this insightful take, this reading makes so much sense after also being cheated on. I hope you're healing :)
Yes! Love this comment
I dont listen to this album often (lets be honest a lot of these songs arent casual jams), but from start to finish it incapsulates so many of the stages, thoughts and feelings you go through after experiencing this its really a masterpiece in that way. As someone who experienced it too, going through the songs in order hits.
Omg you Know your'e Hella smart for this ? 😅 Why did i Not think of this ..
Underrated comment.
Many individuals will NOT understand this song at the beginning & it’s entirety if you haven’t been through this type of pain… especially when you love your man to the point you loose yourself & no relationship with God … that she said “ I whip MY own back & a** for dominion at your feet … which means she was praising him as King & had her going crazy … all in the name of marriage & love … making Bey feel like she crazy or something wrong with her and all the time Jay- Z ,he, was cheating…‼️
Praising Jesus as king?
Such an amazing song that truly hits you where it’s meant to. I just hope it hits him just as hard, if not then more!! Thinking he being cute. Tutt tutt.
What’s Jay Z’s problem? He cant handle the fact she’s incredibly talented and the most beautiful woman of her generation?! He doesn’t deserve her that’s for sure!
Let her(Beyonce) handle her business she's an adult though
say it louder pls 😔
@No Shit He can't that's why when they got married he took majority of her bags and control of her fortune.. it's even in her song
Ring the alarm which was on her B day special...
He thought he needed to bring her down a bit cuz she’s so high above him 💁🏽♀️
Cheating is not about social status
THE ENTIRE ALBUM IS A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE OMG
what do you mean
Probably means its a revelation.
+Khdidij Khadouj it means its a fucking religious experience
you mean pretentious af
A spiritual one for me
SOULJA BOY A LEGEND FOR PRODUCING THIS!
Listen beyonce poem intro after 5 years broken heart and I repeated my cycles with different guy and still blaming myself but more rational. It's relieved me, relieved my grief.
