Formation Lyrics » Beyonce
[Intro: Messy Mya]
What happened at the New Wil’ins?
Bitch, I’m back by popular demand
[Refrain: Beyoncé]
Y’all haters corny with that Illuminati mess
Paparazzi, catch my fly and my cocky fresh
I’m so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress (Stylin’)
I’m so possessive so I rock his Roc necklaces
My daddy Alabama, momma Louisiana
You mix that negro with that Creole, make a Texas bama
I like my baby heir with baby hair and afros
I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils
Earned all this money, but they never take the country out me
I got hot sauce in my bag, swag
[Interlude: Messy Mya
& Big Freedia
]
Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah I, oh, oh, yes, I like that
I did not come to play with you hoes, haha
I came to slay, bitch
I like cornbreads and collard greens, bitch
Oh, yes, you besta believe it
[Refrain: Beyoncé]
Y’all haters corny with that lluminati mess
Paparazzi, catch my fly and my cocky fresh
I’m so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress (Stylin’)
I’m so possessive so I rock his Roc necklaces
My daddy Alabama, momma Louisiana
You mix that negro with that Creole, make a Texas bama
I like my baby heir with baby hair and afros
I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils
Earned all this money but they never take the country out me
I got hot sauce in my bag, swag

About Beyonce’s Formation from Lemonade (2016)
“Formation” is a Black Power anthem, a fitting contribution to Black History Month and
an important conversation piece
in the Black Lives Matter movement. The song was released one day after what would have been
Trayvon Martin’s
21st birthday and one day before what would have been
Sandra Bland’s
29th birthday. Martin and Bland’s deaths are focal points of Black Lives Matter.
Continuing the trend commonly attributed to her
surprise 2013 album release,
“Formation” was surprise-released alongside
an unlisted music video
the day before her appearance as part of the
Super Bowl 50 halftime show,
where she performed this track. After her performance, she
announced The Formation World Tour.
“Formation” was later included as the closer for Beyoncé’s sixth album,
LEMONADE,
which was surprise-released on April 23, 2016.
New Orleans bounce musician
Big Freedia,
who appears on the interlude, noted the song and video showcase Bey
“paying homage to her roots.”
Bounce music originated in New Orleans and is a faster paced style of hip-hop music.
Shots from the music video come directly from Chris Black and Abteen Bagheri’s 2012
That B.E.A.T.
, a bounce music documentary filmed in New Orleans. After
some initial controversy,
a rep for Beyoncé confirmed proper credit and compensation had been attributed to the film makers. Watch

FAQs About Formation
What did Beyoncé say about “Formation”?
Verified Commentary
Swae Lee

Fader
When I made that Beyoncé hook I was thinking nothing about it. I make a lot of songs, so I’m just thinking that this is another song. A couple months later, Mike tells me that Beyoncé wants it. I couldn’t imagine!
Are there any notable performances of this song?
Beyoncé performed “Formation” during the 50th Superbowl, the night she announced her Formation Tour.
What has the media said about the song?
In 2018,
NPR
ranked this as the #19 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:
Beyoncé’s two great obsessions — love and power — combine on her personal-is-political masterpiece, 2016’s
Lemonade
. Like the album itself, ‘Formation’ is a defiant celebration of black womanhood and the singer’s Southern heritage. Though it finds her croon flawless, the song shines when she shifts to a raspy rap and deploys a series of lethal one-liners, culminating in a masterful parting shot: ‘You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation.’ It’s a brilliant single, but Bey transcended the sonic realm with her self-titled album in 2013, and every track she’s recorded since is inseparable from the imagery rolled out to accompany it. In this case, that meant a music video dense with references to Hurricane Katrina, racist policing and the resilience of black communities, followed a day later by dancers in Black Panther berets flanking Beyoncé at a Super Bowl performance. Released early in a year when overt racism and misogyny bum-rushed American politics, ‘Formation’ remains the radical apex of a sui generis career.”
