The 45 Best Lyrics From 'Lemonade' You Won't Be Able To Stop Thinking About
Lemonade isn't just a refreshing summer time drink anymore — it's Beyonce's new album, which everyone can't stop talking about. Lemonade the visual album dropped on HBO and Tidal on Saturday night with gorgeous imagery and even more beautiful lyrics. And while all of the songs are amazing, so it's hard to pick out the best lyrics in Lemonade, I had to try. Along with home movies of Bey's parents, her husband Jay Z, and her daughter Blue Ivy, the visual album includes some very telling spoken-word lyrics and poetry (some are quotes by the amazing poet Warsan Shire).
Lemonade is an epic and emotional journey through the ups and downs of an intense marriage — which judging by the lyrics, may have included infidelity and then forgiveness. But I'll just let the lyrics speak for themselves, because no matter what fans say, Beyonce has left all the feelings and the hurt to be interpreted through her art. Check out some of the most stunning and best lyrics in Lemonade below.

The second verse of "Pray You Catch Me" expresses Beyonce's pain at seeing her partner's smile — something that used to bring her happiness, because she knows the source of that smile is someone else.
In just two lines of the song "Hold Up," Bey samples the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Maps" and makes reference to Jay Z's verse on DJ Khaled's song "They Don't Love You No More."
6. "I'm telling these tears, 'Go and fall away, fall away' / May the last one burn into flames"Burning away the sadness in "Freedom."
7. "Can't you see there's no other man above you? / What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you"Bey knows something's up and she admits that she's (gulp) not perfect, but she also knows this situation isn't perfect either in "Hold Up."
9. "How did it come down to this? / Going through your call list / I don't wanna lose my pride, but I'ma f*ck me up a bitch"10. "Know that I kept it sexy, and know I kept it fun / There's something that I'm missing, maybe my head for one"
