Beyoncé’s political activism through the years is no secret and with “Energy,” Queen Bey gets very political, as she starts off seemingly referencing Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election. “Just vibe / Votin’ out 45, don’t get outta line, yeah,” she starts in the first verse, per Genius. The “Halo” singer then transitions to bragging about her $500 million net worth, per Celebrity Net Worth. “Only double lines we cross is dollar signs, yeah / Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hol’ up / Wait, I hear you just got paid, make it rain, energy,” Beyoncé confidently sings.
In the second verse, Bey doesn’t mince words, reminding us who exactly she is and the level of sexiness she exudes. “Cold links, Brought dinner / We know that we do it grande / You know that I’m gone be extra / “Oh! la, La, La” / That’s the way them boys sound / When I walk through that block, Block, Block / And I uzi that doozie, Shot, Shot, Shot.” Toward the end, Bey, however, seemingly reverts to her political side, alluding to the January 6, 2021 insurrection carried out at the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump supporters. “I’m crazy, I’m swearin’ / I’m darin’, your man’s starin’ / I just entered the country with derringers / ‘Cause them Karens just turned into terrorists.” Now, if there’s something Beyoncé will do, it’s speak up — and what better way to do that than with her music!
