Beyoncé - Hold Up (Video)

I tried to change closed my

mouth more, tried to be soft

prettier, less awake

fasted for sixty days

wore white, abstained from

mirrors, abstained from sex

slowly did not speak another

word, and that time my hair

I grew past my ankles, I slept

on a mat on the floor

I swallowed a sword, I

levitated, went to 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 bent at the

waist for god

I crossed myself in thought I

saw the devil, I grew thicken

skin on my feet I bathed in

bleach and plugged my mensies

with pages from the holy book

but still inside me

coiled deep was the need to know

are you cheating on me

cheating, are you cheating on me

(Instrumental)

Hold up, they don't love

you like I love you Slow

down, they don't love you

like I love you Back up,

they don't love you like

I love you Step down, they

don't love you like I love

you Can't you see there's

no other man above you?

What a wicked way to treat

the girl that loves you

Hold up, they don't love

you like I love you Oh,

down, they don't love you

like I love you Something

don't feel right Because

it ain't right Especially

comin' up after midnight I

smell your secret, and I'm

not too perfect To ever

feel this worthless How

did it come down to this?

Going through your call

list I don't wanna lose my

pride, but I'mma fuck me

up a bitch Know that I

kept it sexy, and know

I kept it fun There's

something that I'm

missing, maybe my head for

one What's worse,

lookin' jealous or crazy?

Jealous or crazy?

Or like being walked all

over lately, walked all

over lately I'd rather be

crazy Hold up, they don't

love you like I love you

Slow down, they don't love

you like I love you Back

up, they don't love you

like I love you Step down,

they don't love you like I

love you Can't you see

there's no other man above you

What a wicked way to treat

the girl that loves you

Hold up, they don't love

you like I love you Slow

down they don't love you

like I love you Let's

imagine for a moment that

you never made a name for

yourself Or mastered

wealth, they had you

labeled as a king Never

made it out the cage,

still out there movin' in

them streets Never had the

baddest woman in the game

up in your sheets Would

they be down to ride?

No, they used to hide from

you, lie to you But y'all

know we were made for each

other So I find you and

hold you down Me sing se

Hold up, they don't love

you like I love you Slow

down, they don't love you

like I love you Back up,

they don't love you like I

love you Step down, they

don't love you like I love

you Can't you see there's

no other man above you?

What a wicked way to treat

the girl that loves you

Hold up, they don't love

you like I love you Slow

down they don't love you

like I love you Oh it is

such a shame You let this

good love go to waste I

always keep the top tier,

5 star Backseat lovin' in

the car Like make that

wood, like make that wood

Holly like a boulevard

What's worse, lookin'

jealous or crazy? jealous and

crazy?

Or like being walked all

over lately, walked all

over lately I'd rather be

crazy Hold up, they don't

love you like I love you

Slow down, they don't love

you like I love you Back

up, they don't love you

like I love you Step down,

they don't love you like I

love you Can't you see

there's no other man above you

What a wicked way to treat

the girl that loves you

Hold up, they don't love

you like I love you Oh,

down, they don't love you

like I love you I hop up

out the bed and get my

swag on I look in the

mirror, say, "What's up?"

What's up, what's up,

what's up I hop up out the

bed and get my swag on I

look in the mirror, say,

"What's up?"

What's up, what's

up, what's up
