Beyoncé - BLACK PARADE (Official Audio) 

For those saying this is gibberish, research the Yoruba language & culture. Oshun & Yemaja are not Devil's, please be respectful & educate yourself before you ignorantly jump to assumptions.

"being black, maybe that’s the reason why they always mad" WE LOVE TO SEE IT

I’m not black but this song is making me so happy and proud for them. I have so much respect for this song, her, and anyone who relates to it. ❤️

"I CAN'T FORGET THAT MY HISTORY IS HER STORY"!!!✊🏽👊🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👑👑👑👑👑👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💖💖

I'll be honest with y'all... there are times that I look at myself in the mirror, I stare directly into the pupils of my dark brown eyes, I analyze my entire face, I look up at my natural hair, then I step back and I analyze my whole body, I take all of me in. Then I start to cry cause I feel so blessed that my soul descended down into the womb of a Black Woman, my mother, I feel so blessed that I was born into this world as a Black Woman. I'm Black and I'm a Woman, that's a blessing on top of a blessing right there! I'm so happy to be Original! I'm so happy I was born with a rich Soul! Thank God indeed!!!

African culture. Our hair defies gravity. We proudly wear our natural crowns. Motherland is dripping on you! Sending love from Zimbabwe.

Dear Queen, I am 64 years old and a child of Obatala and I've been watching you for many years. I've never commented before, but I want you to know that this track is everything!!! I play it for my Orishas and my ancestors’ shrine daily and even sent the link to my Baba in Ibadan and he absolutely loves it. I hope to be crowned soon; I'm looking forward to becoming a kick *** ancestor when it's time for me to go to Orun. Modupe Iya Beyoncé. As`e, As`e, As`e O!!!

This song is more than the beat. She's spitting spiritual gems of our ancestors. Religion existed in Africa before the colonizers came. As a proud African. I am glad she excavated her ancestors' history & going back to her roots. DOPE!!

I was always a fan of Beyoncé, but now I’m a whole air conditioner. 🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿😍🤩

Imagine being black and listening to this song. Damn. MY CONFIDENCE WENT 📈📈

I love you all black Americans from South Africa😘 Beyoncé is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure she will be #1 soon due to 💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

I have literally watched Beyonce go from Bootylicious Singer Child to Black Cultural Icon. This has been a beautiful transformation.

I've read some of the salty comments on here and would like to say this for balance.. I'm a white man and have no problem at all with anything Beyonce says in this song. On the contrary, it's a beautiful, joyful track. When she says 'they' she's not referring to all white people. She's referring to the minority of white people that have surpressed black people for many, many years and the ones who still wish to now. If that doesn't apply to you and you're white... Chill... It's all good. If it does apply to you, you need to take a look at yourself. If we had true equality right now she wouldn't have felt the need to make the song. It's not black versus white... it's everyone with a good heart and soul v racism. (and it's never too late to change) Peace and love ♥ ✌️

Beyonce makes me believe that our story did not start in the slave quarters of America, but in the thrones of Africa!

I'm a white late 40's woman and absolutely love the black pride she lifts up here! Gorgeous roots in Africa from rich culture, spiritual snd artistic, regal snd connected. Thank you for lifting up black people everywhere and celebrating black pride and culture. And to people reading this, many white people celebrate black pride. Black culture is rich and beautiful! ❤️💪

It's nice to see such a big star acknowledge the ancestors 😊

"Being black, maybe that's the reason why they always mad"

Beyonce won a grammy for black parade. Yess.

I am Mexican and for some reason this song reminds me of my own roots. Such a beautiful song. Beyoncé music truly touches all of us ❤

“Put yo fist ✊🏾 up in the air and show black love. Motherland drip on me. “

"WE GOT RHYTHM, WE GOT PRIDE, WE BIRTH KINGS, WE BIRTH TRIBES" . ... Yaaaaaaaaaassss Never been more proud of my skinN

Any black person that has ANY knowledge of ancient African spirituality can never say this song is trash! She's dropping some jewels in this song! 2.8k likes later! Cool 😎😂

Just came back from the Renaissance tour and I was BLOWN away with this part of the show. I can’t believe I wasn’t put on this song until now. I always knew Brown Skin Girl, Already and My Power from the Lion King album but I must have slept on this one!! What a gem!! I’m so glad to have found it now- I can’t stop playing it. What an anthem! ❤

"Talking slick to my folk" 🤞🏿🔥🙌🏿🖤🤎

Im a Filipino, but we sometimes get bullied bec of our skin color. I stand for black people and for what they are fighting for! U guys are awesome!! 🌼

I hope u guys are realizing that all Bey cares about at this point is black culture and thats on period.

If I get married and have a wedding this will be the song played as we proceed out and I want to do an actual parade. Lace umbrellas and a mini band with majorettes lol I’m hella extra 😬. I’ll even have it recorded so I can come back n leave a link here💜✨

I’m so proud of you Beyoncé “Put you fist up in the air show black love” yess I lovee

“We birth Kings, we birth tribes”🥰✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

I didn't choose to be black I just got lucky😌💅🏾💋

This song makes me feel confident abt my skin, working for arabs ain't easy as a black woman,they treat us like trash 😢😭

Who's listening after the Brawl on the River in Montgomery! Not black, but standing in solidarity with the people who protected the security guard.

Beyonce is like in the finale boss level of singing

“We got rhythm, we got pride We birth kings, we birth tribes. Holy river, holy tongue Speak the glory, feel the Love.” We call her QUEEN for a reason 🙌🏾

This song went hard AF... If she keeps this vibe up I’m joining the beehive

I'm 59 and this song blew me away. No lazy songwriting here, her lyrics have more content in them than some books I've read! All hail Queen Bey xxx

I'm so proud of you Beyonce. You've been my favorite celebrity/singer since I was in elementary school. I'm always flattered when people say I resemble you. Your energy is everything. You've progressed so much throughout the years. You're timeless. You are a legend even before retirement! Your dream is your reality.....

When she said “hold my hands we gone pray together” ,”need another March let me call tamika” 😩🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

I'm in Africa(Kenya)but Queen B makes me feel like I've been raised in the states and now I'm back🤣🤣idk if I'm making sense!but I loooove Queen B so much some day I'm going to perform her songs in front of her I swear🇰🇪😩♥️♥️

Beyoncé when I tell you this has me almost to tears I really mean it because this song hit so hard to the point where it knocked me to tears and if someone needs to be reminded that it is a privilege to be black then this is the song for them and that is on PERIODTT 👸🏽🤴🏽👸🏾🤴🏾👸🏿🤴🏿

All of us that are PROUD of our nappy roots appreciate you so much for this song Queen. Those who pay attention know that you are SPIRITUAL. You dropped the album on a new moon. Oh i pay attention and i appreciate you educating the ignorant cause clearly its out their league. Thank you for making music for those of us who love our skin, hair, and ancient African ancestral culture!!! 🙏🏾💯🖤👑🐝🌟💫💋

Thank you, Beyonce! This song is a gift. It's a celebration of Blackness throughout the diaspora. Black love and peace to us all.

"I charge my crystals in the full moon." Sis is clearly stating that she is in tune with the ancestors' spirituality.

God really gave birth to the universe didn’t she? Thank you mama. Praise her Holy name.

Because our story neither beginning of EVERYTHING There Is! Creator of the entire realm #NowWeRise Raise your Vibration

This song is such a black girl confidence bop

"We got rhythm, we got pride We birth kings, we birth tribes"👌🏾

Oshun energy/ Charge crystals under the full moon! Ancestors put her up on game - Yes I love this that African spirituality

This song makes me feel so good to be black idk it just puts some joy in my heart.

Beyoncé is The Goat!!!! When you think she can’t get any better she hit us up with this Anthem!!!! Black Parade!!!! here we come on our throne🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

She literally spoke she's the Daughter of Oshun (African Goddess) and her sister is reppin Yemaya (also an African Goddess). She's back to her roots for a long time already for sure, it just got more clearer now and I'm proud of her.... honouring her Ancestors and the Old Ones.

Thought she was gonna sing about her father taking her to the city.

Black people rock!

This is pure poetry

I woke up this morning. I went downstairs. My brother told me he had a surprise for me. Started playing this song. I heard her voice. I gasped. Black lives matter. No lives matter until black lives do. If you don’t get what I’m saying. Then keep your negativity to yourself. We don’t want it. 😌🤚🏾

I don’t have silky edges so the verse she says “fuck these laid edges imma let em shrivel up” felt really good ❤️

Anyone else here after seeing Blue Ivy dancing at Bey's concerts? Favorite lines: "Being black, maybe that's the reason why they always mad Yeah, they always mad, yeah Been passed 'em, I know that's the reason why they all big mad And they always have been"

Ancestors on the wall let the ghosts chitchat🙌🏻

" I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel ". ( MS. Maya Angelou Words.) Beautiful and very truthful strong words.

MY MUM WHEN I LISTEN TO RAP : put this down MY MUM WHEN I LISTEN TO BLACK PARADE: put it louder boy!!!!!!!

I'm a black lady from cameroon 🇨🇲 , my people are called Duala . This made me proud to be black . Love you from cameroon 🇨🇲❤

Imma need reparations for my people.

“We got rhythm. We got Pride. We birth Kings. We birth tribes.” 🗣🗣🗣 QUEEN SPEAKING FACTS!!!!

"Where my roots aren't watered down"😎

The "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)" of this generation! 🖤✊🏼

Ms. Beyonce. You are one incredible, talented lady. I pray that you continue to progress. You are truly blessed. Keep on the POSITIVE MARCH FOR WOMEN EVERYWHERE.
