Tuney Tuesday #7: Run the World [Girls] (Beyonce)

Hey guys!!!

It's time for TUNEY TUESDAY!!!! :D




Here are the rules:
Tuney Tuesdays is a weekly meme that Eileen at  ***Singing and Reading in the Rain***  and I at J.A.Y.A.! host. It's really easy! Just:

  • Once a week, on Tuesday, choose a song that you might be really into that particular week.
  • Include a video/cover art for that single if there is one (or the button for Tuney Tuesdays that I've made up. I'll put it later in the post.) 
  • Include the lyrics
  • Write what you like about it in a review. Or write a few sentences about how it inspires you. Or how it relates to a book that you've been reading.
  • If you don't want to do your own song, you can use one of the songs that Eileen at ***Singing and Reading in the Rain*** or I have done for this week.


So the song I chose to do this week is called Run the World [Girls] by none other than Beyonce! This song is so empowering to women everywhere, and it doesn't hurt that it's SUPER catchy and fun to dance to! The background song is actually called Pon de Floor by Major Lazer; my friend and I loved it so much that we actually spent all night last year trying to figure out what the song was called (because it doesn't really have any lyrics) ... and funny enough a couple months after we figured it out Beyonce came out with this song! The song is self-explanatory, and it's telling women to take control of their lives, and not let anyone run it for you; because women are strong, A LOT stronger than men give us credit for sometimes! So let's go ladies; LET'S RUN THE WORLD!!!!!

Now below, I posted two videos: the first is her really cool music video for the song; and the second is actually a performance she did at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards ... it was SOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of them men think they freak this like we do
But no they don't
Make your cheque come at they neck
Disrespect us no they won't

Boy don't even try to touch this
Boy this beat is crazy
This is how they made me
Houston, Texas baby
This goes out to all my girls that's in the club rocking the latest
Who will buy it for themselves and get more money later
I think I need a barber
None of these n***** can fade me
I'm so good with this
I remind you I'm so hood with this
Boy I'm just playing
Come here baby
Hope you still like me
F' you pay me

My persuasion can build a nation
Endless power, the love we can devour
You'll do anything for me

Who run the world? Girls (girls)

It's hot up in here DJ don't be scared to run this run this back
I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world help me raise a glass for the college grads
41 rollin' to let you know what time it is, check
You can't hold me
I work my 9 to 5, better cut my check
This goes out to all the women getting it in you're on your grind
To other men that respect what I do please accept my shine
Boy you know you love it how we're smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bear the children then get back to business

Hope you still like me, F' you pay me

My persuasion can build a nation
Endless power, the love we can devour
You'll do anything for me
