Lyrics and translation
Original
I know my enemy pray on me, so pray for me.
Tick, tick, waiting on it. I'm keeping down my body count.
I'm felicity like a trap bounce, a trap bounce, yeah.
'Cause every day above ground is a blessing. I done leveled up, now view panoramic.
None of my fears can't go where I'm headed. Had to cut 'em loose now to spread the love, yeah.
I'm 'bout to flood on 'em, flood on the center.
It rain it down, the golf ball, go Mutumbo.
No, no center, you can't dim my light. 'Cause when we walk up in the club,
I need them sirens going off.
Then we can look up in the sky.
The tears we cry let us know that we alive, yeah, yeah. It give me goosebumps every time. I throw up my diamond.
Together we big timing. Don't make me have to remind ya.
I got my cups up to the heavens. Another night I won't remember.
I promise this my mood forever.
I promise this my mood forever, ever. Diamonds dancing on the bezel.
This kind of feeling unforgettable. I promise this my mood forever.
I promise this my mood forever. Forever and ever.
You heard that?
-Forever and ever. -That's the sound of the price going up.
Forever and ever, ever. And ever, ever. At the Saxon, Madiba suite.
Like Mandela, bumping Fela on the puma chair. Like we from Lagos, Mansa Musa reincarnated.
We on our levels, that's a billion, a thousand milli.
First one to see a B out these houses and buildings.
I be feeling like Prince in '84, Mike in '79, Biggie in '97, '94 Nas, Ali. Kumbaye. No kumbaya, just give me the sommelier.
I'm on Latrell, helmet on a jet ski. You know the vibes, hit my head, forget I'm me.
Oh my God, without the God and an ex-wife, I'm afraid the whole game will be colonized.
The marathon will be televised for NPR. 'Cause true kings don't die, we multiply. Peace.
I'm so unbothered, I'm so unbothered.
Y'all be so pressed while I'm raising daughters. Sons of empires. Y'all make me chuckle, to stay in your struggle.
Crystal blue water, pina colada in. You stay Ramada Inn. My baby father, bloodline
Rwanda. Why would you try me? Why would you bother? I am Beyoncé, Giselle Nos
Carter. I am the Nala, sister Aruba. Oshun, Queen Sheba. I am the mother.
Hunks on my gold chain. Ice on my whole chain. I be like, "So cool. " I am a whole mood.
When we walk up in the club,
I need them sirens going off.
And we can look up to the sky.
The tears we cry let us know that we alive, yeah, yeah. I give 'em goosebumps every time.
I throw up my diamond. Together we big timing. The children are our reminder.
I got my cups up to the heavens.
Another night I won't remember.
I promise this my mood forever.
I promise this my mood forever, ever. Diamonds dancing on the bezel.
This kind of feeling unforgettable. I promise this my mood forever.
I promise this my mood forever.
Forever and ever.
Ever, ever.
Forever and ever. Ever and ever and ever.
Time to break it down now.
My enemies still pray. Get a load.
'Cause I bet on myself. I'm dancing.
Ancestors in my step.
Now I move better. Move energy forward now. I feel a change going on.
Royalty in my blood, run the kingdom. The more money, more problems season.
But don't let that get you out your way.
Rise up higher. Jump, jump and don't look down. You're so far from the ground.
And -girl when I- -I got my cups up to the heavens.
Another night I won't remember.
I promise this my mood forever.
I promise this my mood forever, ever. Diamonds dancing on the bezel.
This kind of feeling unforgettable. I promise this my mood forever.
I promise this my mood forever.
Forever and ever.
