Celebrity Guess: Beyonce's Bitches

This morning, I watched some Wendy Williams before work, and her round table was discussing Beyonce's latest single-- "Bow Down/I Been On."

The song starts with "I know when you were little girls, you dreamt of being in my world.  Don't forget it, don't forget it.  Respect that.  Bow down, bitches."

*crickets*

I guess it's not girls who rule the world, so much as Beyonce rules the world.  We shouldn't forget to respect her and bow down like the lowly servants (or slaves) that we are.  Bravo, Beyonce.  Bravo.



And given her [alleged] involvement with the Illuminati and all that business, I don't think she's joking.  I don't find the lyrics provocative or bad ass--they're just plain bad.  And insulting.  And disrespectful.  And anyone who bows down to her needs to check themselves.

My celebrity guess?  The masses won't recognize the content of this song for what it is, and it will be played on the radio one hundred times a day.

I've put the lyrics below, putting in bold the more offensive lines, and putting comments in italics next to some of the others.

BEYONCÉ – BOW DOWN / I BEEN ON LYRICS
Produced By: Hit-Boy, Planet VI, Polow Da Don, Sonny Digital & Timbaland



[Hook] I’m out that H-town
Coming, coming down
I’m coming down dripping candy on the ground (sexual reference. I guess she's blowing Jay here)
H, H-town, town, I’m coming down
Coming down dripping candy on the ground

 [Verse 1] I know when you were little girls 
You dreamt of being in my world 
Don’t forget it , don’t forget it 
Respect that, bow down bitches 
I took some time to live my life
But don’t think I’m just his little wife
Don’t get it twisted, get it twisted
This my shit, bow down bitches 

[Bridge] Bow down bitches, bow bow down bitches
Bow down bitches, bow bow down bitches
H-town vicious, h-h-town vicious
I’m so crown, bow bow down bitches

 [Hook x2] I been on, I been on, I been on
Tell me who gon take me off
Take me off, take me off, take me off (Someone needs to challenge this heifer and knock her off her high horse)

 [Verse 2] Rolling high, leather and wood
Keep it trill, that's what good
Kiss my momma, show that love
Pop them bottles in that club
I heard your boo was talking lip
I told my crew to smack that trick (who got bitch slapped cause of Beyonce?)
Smack that trick, smack that trick
Guess what they did, smack that trick
Gold everything, gold ass chain
Gold ass rings, gold ass fangs
You can see me stunt when you turn on ya screen
You can see me stunt when you turn on ya screen
I’m bigger than life, my name in the lights
I’m the number one chick, ain’t need no hype
The capital B means, I’m ‘bout that life (and what "life" might that be?)
The capital B means, I’m ‘bout that life

[Hook] [Outro] I remember my baby hair with my dookie braids
Frenchy’s, Boudin in the parking lot
Shout out to Willie D
I was in that Willie D video when I was about fourteen, looking crazy
Shout out Pimp C
You know we used to sneak and listen to that UGK
Didn’t do your girl but your sister was alright, damn
In ya homeboy’s Caddy last night man, haha
Hold up, Texas trill H-town going down, man
