I dont think this is the same parade chemical romance was talking about…
LMAO i saw the title and was like “why is mcr trending??”
Fuck! I was gonna say that!
👑 Beyoncé : Let there be light: and there was light ♫
Producer: what do you want people to _see_ ?
Beyoncé: You mean… what do you want *feel* ?
Exaaaactly
Honestly me too but then I listened to the song and I’m not really disappointed anymore. Black lives do matter tho
I would’ve paid to hear beyonce say WHEN I WAS, A YOUNG BOY , MY FATHER. TOOK ME INTO THE CITY
I KNOW LIKE LMAOO
Lol
wrooooong lane boi
Hahaha
wrooooong FRRRRRR
Beyonce referencing OShun the Orishas, ancestors & Talking about Yobruba & Jay Z reference Chango previously 🧡
Yes!!! Finally I was called to the orishas back in March I’m learning as much as I can but black people better GET IN FORMATION
Sounds like that trip to Cuba a few years ago made a big impact.
Facts
They been.. just more openly sharing now
This could of been in Black Panther if it came out around the time
I wanted _Welcome to America_ by Lecrae for Killmongers theme.
They said bey might be in BP 2 👀
I SAID THE SAME THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
@Grace Just rumors
@BXBV_KLVN the worst fucking time for another BP movie… Do you know what the new black Panthers stand for? Black supremacy
Beyonce is constantly dropping her art with no prior notice because she just wants to empower others and isn’t trying to make hits. the POWER
@Anomalous Zookeeper you’re in your own head. And im not trying to knock you for wherever that came from or why. I dont see this release as anything more than an artist being an artist. Artists as a couple. This is what they’ve done for more than two decades of their life. We cant always over simplify everything like were some grand wizards like we feel we know everything they do in using the talent and platforms they have.
Yes
@Rubin Turner Artist? Shes just a pawn in the media’s game just like you guys
@God Almighty
Seek help, immediately.
God Almighty More privileged, not more important. Get it right!
The lyrics have to be listened to… they made me wanna cry!!!! Let’s them edges shrivel up, dread that hair up… lawd
❤️❤️❤️
@Chill Cosby this ain’t no dam cover is it? Who made it first?
@Beyoncé Fan ❤❤❤
I’ve been saying this for the longest. What’s the obsession with laying edges?! We need do normalize “nappy” edges.
Ladies are we going to let go
Of the edge control?? Lol!
beyonce: **drops new song**
my chemical romance: _am i a joke to you?_
Lmao literally my first thoughts and then I scrolled down and saw it was Beyoncé
fr
Yes. You are
HAHAHWJWJ
I’m only here as an MCR fan lol
I am of Indian ethnicity born in America and though I’m not black and this song is not for me when she said “let the melanin drip drip drip on y’all”, I really felt represented too since I have dark brown skin even if it wasn’t meant for me. Thanks Bey for making everyone feel special 💗 Black Lives Matter
It’s for you too
Girl it was for you! If you felt it in your spirit, then don’t deny yourself 😀😊
Risingofthephoenixx x I hear you, but she never said she wasn’t proud of her culture.
Uhhh. POC means #YouToo. Tf?
❤️❤️
So *this* is what the marching band was playing when my father took me into the city. I couldn’t remember because I was just a young boy at the time
Nothing to fear, I was lied to also…we all were lied to.
My Chemical Romance fans: what is she playing at…. OOOOOHHHH
Hahahaha
LMAOOO
Jay s/o MCR in “Oh My God” (2006) if you guys didn’t know. So I think They’re All Cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM2z2BXxCPI MCRXBeyonce!
Nahwgwh
@Hannah K. MCR Love a Diva, They would be amazing together.
Beyoncé really just said: “THEY GONNA NEEDA ARMY! RUBBER BULLETS BOUNCING OFF ME!”
@Chill Cosby i really think that you guys can understand what It really means, hope you’re guys Just kidding.
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM IS DEATH.
@The Guru Yep 🤣
Purely Figurative. Leave her alone. Not everything is literal.
She is talking about Orishas all through this joint. Just because you’re not in the street doesnt mean you’re not fighting the war.
For context: “400 billy Masa Musa” refers to king Mansa Musa of Mali who was the richest person ever recorded in history. He was BLACK!
@Eagles you dump Atlantic slavery was not something normal to treat humans like animals even worse change there names language intentionally make them Christian and dont let them pray even in yr church .. it was evil sick bad in any standard of history… keep making up excuses even Hitler who even asked help from American scientists about eugenics project and was impressed how far they went
Willy McB must be great from that bubble of yours
@Eagles lmaooooo.
@Black Snake Productions Mansa Musa lived in the 14th century, almost a millenium after western rome fell and 1500 years after greek states fell. Letting slaves gain their freedom wasn’t “invented” by Musa, you absolute moron.
@IJ Williams ok so then stop arguing “we have been oppressed for 400 years” you just admitted it was normal
Whoever’s reading this comment I hope U have lovely and happy day 😀
You are now my favorite person on the internet.
thanks!
You too! 🖤
You too!
You too:)
Me, an emo: visible confusion
Other Emos: visible confusion
Beyonce fans: confused at why were confused
Hahahahah
I actually thought she did a cover. but i shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up the mainstream music scene doesnt take emo music seriously
Ngl I was a bit annoyed that she used this title of course message is good tho
yeah that’s why I clicked
@King Blonde i thought it was a cover too
*sees title of this song, starts playing “I’m not okay”
I promise?
a username i guess HAHAHHA
Dont Hug Me I’m Scared
okay killjoys who else’s heart skipped a beat when they saw this
mE
Right here 😂😂😂 I honestly thought she covered the WTTBP for a sec 😂😂
Ty Covington that would be terrible lmao
🙋♀️ mine
For sure
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I’m goin’ back to the South
I’m goin’ back, back, back, back
Where my roots ain’t watered down
Growin’, growin’ like a Baobab tree
Of life on fertile ground, ancestors put me on game
Ankh charm on gold chains, with my Oshun energy, oh
Drip all on me, woo, Ankh or the Dashiki print
Hol’ up, don’t I smell like such a nag champa incense?
Yeah, pure ice (Ice), ice (Ice), buss down
Uh, flooded (Flooded), flooded (Flooded), on my wrist, out
Ooh, goin’ up, goin’ up, motherland, motherland drip on me
Ooh, melanin, melanin, my drip is skin deep, like
Ooh, motherland, motherland, motherland, motherland drip on me
Ooh, yeah, I can’t forget my history is her-story, yeah
Being black, maybe that’s the reason why they always mad
Yeah, they always mad, yeah
Been past ’em, I know that’s the reason why they all big mad
And they always have been
[Chorus]
Honey, come around my way, around my hive
Whenever momma says so, momma say
Here I come on my throne, sittin’ high
Follow my parade, oh, my parade
Talkin’ slick to my folk (My folk), lift that lip like lipo (Lipo)
You hear them swarmin’, right? Bees is known to bite
Now here we come on our thrones, sittin’ high
Follow my parade, oh, my parade
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, I’m for us, all black
All chrome (Yeah), black-owned (Yeah)
Black tints (Yeah), matte black (Yeah, yeah)
Roll by, my window down, let ’em see who in it
Crack a big smile (Ding)
Go figure, me and Jigga, fifty ‘leven children
They like, “Chick, how?”
I charge my crystals in a full moon
You could send them missiles, I’ma send my goons
Baby sister reppin’ Yemaya (Yemaya)
Trust me, they gon’ need an army (Ah)
Rubber bullets bouncin’ off me (Ah)
Made a picket sign off your picket fence (Ah)
Take it as a warning (Ah, ah)
Waist beads from Yoruba (Woo)
Four hunnid billi’, Mansa Musa (Woo)
Straw line to the barbeque
Put us any-damn-where, we gon’ make it look cute
Pandemic fly on the runway, in my hazmat
Judgin’, runnin’ through the house to my art, all black
Ancestors on the wall, let the ghosts chit-chat
(Ancestors on the wall, let the ghosts chit-chat)
Hold my hands, we gon’ pray together
Lay down, face down in the gravel
Woo, wearin’ all attire white to the funeral
Black love, we gon’ stay together
Curtis Mayfield on the speaker (Woo)
Lil’ Malcolm, Martin mixed with momma Tina (Woo)
Need another march, lemme call Tamika (Woo)
Need peace and reparation for my people (Woo)
Fuck these laid edges, I’ma let it shrivel up (Shrivel up)
Fuck this fade and waves I’ma let it dread all up (Dread all up)
Put your fists up in the air, show black love (Show black love)
Motherland drip on me, motherland, motherland drip on me
[Chorus]
Honey, come around my way, around my hive
Whenever momma says so, momma say
Here I come on my throne, sittin’ high
Follow my parade, oh, my parade
Talkin’ slick to my folk (My folk), lift that lip like lipo (Lipo)
Hear ’em swarmin’, right? (Zz) Bees is known to bite (Zz, zz)
Now here we come on our thrones, sittin’ high
Follow my parade, oh, my parade
[Bridge]
We got rhythm (We got rhythm), we got pride (We got pride)
We birth kings (We birth kings), we birth tribes (We birth tribes)
Holy river (Holy river), holy tongue (Holy tongue)
Speak the glory (Speak the glory), feel the love (Feel the love)
Motherland, motherland drip on me, hey, hey, hey
Motherland, motherland drip on me, hey, hey, hey
I can’t forget my history, it’s her-story
Motherland drip on me, motherland, motherland drip on me
[Chorus]
Honey, come around my way, around my hive (My)
Whenever momma says so (Hey), momma say (Hey, hey)
Here I come on my throne, sittin’ high (High)
Follow my parade, oh, my parade (Hey, hey, hey)
Talkin’ slick to my folk (My folk), lift that lip like lipo (Lipo)
Hear ’em swarmin’, right? (Zz) Bees is known to bite (Zz, zz)
Now here we come on our thrones, sittin’ high
Follow my parade, oh, black parade
Thank you
Here’s what they should’ve been: “When I was a young boy my father…”
MVP,MVP,MVP,MVP,MVP
My emo ass thought I was about to hear beyonce sing the other black parade.
My stupid ass genuinely thought this was gonna be a MCR cover….
