Beyonce Knowles surprised her fans by dropping a new track “Black Parade” to commemorate Juneteenth on June 19.
Beyonce celebrates the rich history of West African slaves in Texas who were liberated and emancipated in 1865:
-
We got rhythm (We got rhythm), we got pride (We got pride)
We birth kings (We birth kings), we birth tribes (We birth tribes)
Holy river (Holy river), holy tongue (Holy tongue)
Speak the glory (Speak the glory), feel the love (Feel the love)
Motherland, motherland drip on me, hey, hey, hey
Motherland, motherland drip on me, hey, hey, hey
I can’t forget my history, it’s her-story
Motherland drip on me, motherland, motherland drip on me
She also shouts out her loyal BeyHive fanatics on the track. “You hear them swarmin’, right? Bees is known to bite.”
The track is the 39-year-old singer’s 2nd offering in 2020. She hopped on Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Savage Remix” earlier this year. With Beyonce help, “Savage Remix” peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
