That's why I cannot sleep at night
(You know you can do it)
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
I'm looking for motivation (You motivate me)
I'm looking for a new foundation, yeah (Thank you)
And I'm on that new vibration

Hold up, oh, baby, baby (Hold up)
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Madonna]
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul (Go with the flow)

Bend it, bust it open, won't ya make it go

Bey is back and I'm sleeping real good at night
The queens in the front and the Doms in the back
Ain't taking no fl!cks but the whole clique snapped
It's a whole lot of people in the house
Tryna smoke with the yak in your mouth

Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside
In case you forgot how we act outside
