Love that Beyoncé always so humble when she’s around legends that came before her. She always shows them love and respect. Prince adored and respected Beyoncé, just as much Michael Jackson. They both saw her potential to be greater. Beyonce is really a definition of a true beauty in and out. Full of talents and beauty from all angle. The reason God made a girl.

Lyrics:
“Purple Rain”
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It’s time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can’t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain

“Crazy in Love”
Yes (woo, ow)
It’s so crazy right now
Most incredibly, it’s ya girl, B (yes)
It’s ya boy, Young
You ready?

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no (ow)
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no (yeah)

History in the making
Part two, it’s so crazy right now

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave, I’m begging you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I’m feeling and my pride is the one to blame
(Yeah, yeah) ’cause I know I don’t understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s
Got me looking so crazy right now (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love’s
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no

When I talk to my friends so quietly
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me
Tennis shoes, don’t even need to buy a new dress
If you ain’t there, ain’t nobody else to impress
It’s the way that you know what I thought I knew
It’s the beat that my heart skips when I’m with you
But I still don’t understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s
Got me looking so crazy right now (so crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (love)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss (hey)
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now (hey)
Looking so crazy, your love’s (hey)
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love
I’m looking so crazy in love’s
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love (I’m warmed up now, let’s go)

Young ‘Hov, y’all know when the flow is loco
Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh (oh)
Ol’ G, big homey, the one and only
Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony Soprano (oh no)
The ROC handle like Van Axel
I shake phonies, man, you can’t get next to
The genuine article, I do not sing though
I sling though, if anything, I bling yo
A star like Ringo, war like a Green Beret
Crazy bring ya whole set
Jay Z in the Range, crazy and deranged
They can’t figure him out, they like, “Hey, is he insane?”
Yessir, I’m cut from a different cloth
My texture is the best fur, chinchilla
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) I been iller than chain smokers
How you think I got the name Hova?
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) I been realer, the game’s over
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) fall back, Young, ever since I made the change over
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) to platinum the game’s been wrap, one

Got me looking so crazy, my baby
I’m not myself, lately I’m foolish, I don’t do this
I’ve been playing myself, baby, I don’t care
‘Cause your love’s got the best of me
And, baby, you’re making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don’t care who sees
‘Cause, baby, you got me
Baby, you got me (you got me so crazy, baby), hey

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s (oh love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (lookin’ crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (baby)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss (hey)
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now (oh)
Looking so crazy in love’s (hey)
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love (whoa)

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love’s
Got me looking so crazy right now (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love’s
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love
