Ran by the men, but the women keep the tempo. It’s very seldom, that you’re blessed to find your equal. Still play my part and let you take the lead role, believe me. I’ll follow, this could be easy. I’ll be the help, whenever you need me. I see your hustle with my hustle, I can keep you. Focused on your focus, I can feed you. Come harder, this won’t be easy. Don’t doubt yourself trust me, you need me. This ain’t no shoulder with a chip, or an ego. But what you think they all mad at me for? #upgrade #beyonce 🐝 ❤️ #imnotdoneyet Can’t believe that is a #throwback
