Beyoncé is pop-culture and thankfully is appealing to almost everyone. When she releases new music, it's record-breaking and immediately publicized. She is the Queen B. So without further ado, here are some Bey songs that have lyrics to live by.
1. Best Thing I Never Had (2011)
2. Ego (2008)
"Some call it arrogance, I call it confidence" Being confident is not a bad thing, so own your confidence and don't let anyone tell you how big or small your ego can or can't be.
3. Me, Myself and I (2003)
"From now on, I'm gonna be my own best friend." If people aren't doing anything positive for you, it's okay to be your own person. You don't need anybody, but yourself.
4. Ring the Alarm (2006)
"Tell me how should I feel, when I know what I know, and my female intuition is telling me you a dog." I'm not one to judge someone based off of what other people say, but if your gut tells you he's a "dog" then he probably is.
5. Irreplaceable (2006)
"The fact of the matter is, replacing you is so easy." Although not everyone can be replaced, if someone is replaceable by someone else who is irreplaceable, you don't hesitate to replace them. You don't need them.
6. Pretty Hurts (2013)
"Perfection is a disease of a nation." Don't aim to be perfect in the eyes of society, be the perfect version of you.
7. Run the World(Girls) (2011)
"We're smart enough to make these millions, strong enough the bear the children, then get back to business." Bey just proves that women run the world, enough said.
8. Mine (2013)
"Stop making a big deal out of the little things, 'cause I got big deals and I got little things." Even though something may seem like a big deal at the time, it's probably not. Always realize that you have more important things to focus on.
9. Upgrade U (2006)
"I'm known to walk alone, but I'm alone for a reason. Sending me a drink ain't appeasing, believe me." Just because I'm sitting alone somewhere in public, does not mean I am lonely or need your company. Thanks anyways, but I'll gladly decline.
10. Diva (2008)
"She ain't callin' him to greet her, don't need him, her bed's made." Yes, Bey, yes. For all you queens out there who think you need a king, you do not. Stand by your independence and keep hustlin'.
11. ***Flawless (2013)
"Say 'I look so good tonight'." Please ladies, look in the mirror, acknowledge your beauty, and give yourself some well-deserved compliments.
12. ***Flawless (2013)
"We say to girls: 'You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you will threaten the man'." Girls, please do not follow the roles of gender; they are nonexistent and they are made up by society.
13. Formation (2016)
"Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper." Just to bounce off of the lyrics from number 12, prove everyone wrong. Women will come out on top, and that's the perfect revenge. As well as making as much paper as Queen B; we can dream, am I right?
Always remember that when you're channeling your inner Beyoncé you're also channeling your inner feminist. Now continue to be the flawless queen that you are.
