Bow Down / I Been On Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Beyoncé dropped this via SoundCloud. Paying homage to her hometown Houston with this very Houston-influenced track. She later released a remix on the “I Been On” part featuring Houston legend – “I Been On Remix”

You could almost say that this is her own version
of Jay-Z’s “Empire State Of Mind”.

Omg please what is the beef between Beyoncé and Keri Hilson ? I never knew that.
Genius Answer

The “beef” started when Keri Hilson dropped her hit song “Turinin' Me On Remix” where she said:

She can sing, but need to move it ‘to the (left)’
She need to go have some babies
She needs to sit down, she fadin
Go ‘head and tell them folks how long I been writing your songs
I been puttin you on, just check the credits

Bey has never officially responded, though Hilson has received some backlash from the Beyhive.

Where can I listen to the song?
