Lyrics:
Yeah B,
Talk your shit (partner let me upgrade you)
How you're gonna upgrade me
What's higher than number one
You know I used to beat that block
Now I be's the block (partner let me upgrade you)
I hear you be the block
But I'm the lights that keep the streets on
Notice you the type that like to keep them on a
Leash though
I'm known to walk alone
But I'm alone for a reason
Sending me a drink ain't appeasing
Believe me
Come harder this won't be easy
Don't doubt yourself trust me you need me
This ain't a shoulder with a chip or an ego
But what you think they all mad at me for
Producer: So Jay is running a little late
Bey: No problem, I got it covered
Lol it’s funny because he actually filmed his scenes first and she watched to get his mannerisms down 😁
😂😂
Doesn’t every woman upgrade their man ....
I remember this video came out around the rumors that they broke up so that scene confirmed it but then! Lol I remember being so shocked and happy and thinking they were so cool for this Lolol
Crowned Rite! She did the Premiere on 106&Park had everybody mouths on the floor when he popped in the video out of nowhere That was Brilliant shut those Rumors down real quick!
2024 someone ?
In the midst of their divorce rumors... and me thinking "i can't believe I even forgot this song... together they are perfection."
I just love her music still brought me through some tough times

Song was the best proposal in the history of proposals

Exactly what I wanted to put. She said that and she did that!!
lol I just said the same thing in my comment. I came to see if anyone else was thinking the same thing. Only a real mf would notice this 🎯💯
She really did Upgraded him. Now he’s financially untouchable
Hope you know jay z was the one who upgraded her both financially and musically in the industry? When they started dating jay was significantly bigger than her
Yeah sure. Jayz wrote her music, sang her vocals and choreographed all her shows especially Coachella. You know Beyoncé is worth more money it just goes to Jay z instead? Since he signed her?
she should have sang it during beychella!!!!! the live band would have murdered this!!!!

Absolutely.
Yea she should rock dark hair more often. She looks absolutely gorgeous.
It was so sexy!! She does this effortlessly, that’s why she said “ what ya think they all mad at me for” she knows she’s bad and I love it! The slay continues.. 😂
Nah! jlo beats her with it comes to beauty. Jlo is more known as most beautiful and sexiest than beyonce.

I AM… ON REPEAT!!!
No matter how successful Jay Z was and would have been, having Beyonce as a wife upgrades him. That does not go to say that she is responsible for his success.
They helped each other. She wouldn't be THIS Beyonce without him. She said it herself.
She definitely had a harder swag after being with him.
Philip Oladipo jay z was established before we knew who Beyoncé was
@@mo2k638 I know
Jayz didn’t need her he still would be a billionaire he was already working his way there before he got with her
People overthink the hook... The song is about how a good womans presence elevates a man's life even if he's already successful. Jay asked cocky "how u gon upgrade me what's higher than #1" and everything she talked about was being there with him to get him to the bag.
Frfr wow
Jeremiah makes sense
Totally. Wait how are people misinterpreting that? It seems so obvious
Jeremiah EXACTLYYYY🙃🙌🏽
💯💯💯
Bey kept her promise in these lyrics…life definitely elevated with her❤❤❤❤
The message in this song ❤ It just screams black excellence and legacy.
When she raps Jay’s verse and then slides over and Jay appears…. Still till this day ❤
I have watched this video many times but this is the first time I’m noticing this stunt 😂 thanks loads❤ 2:49
Till this DAY!!!👊🏾🤦🏾♀️👑👑👑🐐🐐🐐🐐
Legendary 😊
I remember when she premiered both this and beautiful liar on 106 and park. It was rumors that they separated, then she pulled this stunt. . however this video was way ahead of its time. Forever my favorite song of all time!
Totally genius ❤
"I can do for you, what Martin did for the people" THAT LINE 💯💯💯
Yassss!!!
Ikr I’m like damn b
@Noeline Glynn EXACTLY. she should've said what Coretta did for Martin
@Noeline Glynn liberty is what she means
Yassss!! I come back to this song just to hear that line!! 🎉🔥🙌

Beyoncé was a great choice of woman for JayZ.
She’s a wonderful mother, she has never stopped being the phenomenal woman she is!
She never allowed being married to a successful man to stop her from being the great woman!!!!!!!

2024...and I'm still wondering why Jay Z cheated like he's the cute one.
Usually people cheat out of insecurity
Cheating is not about being attractive it's about the thrill
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂that's a exactly y he cheated.
Her best era! Hair, body and soul at their peak! 👌
Hands down
I Am Sasha Fierce is the best era for me.
Mmmmh there has been better and there is even better to come. It's just how Queen B does
For me it's this one closely followed by Lemonade 😌
Yes. Her best era hands down
This video cracks me up when Beyonce imitates Jay z lol
And they do it again in 2018!!! Too Cool.
Derek Knowles what if becoming her WAS his upgrade ?
Right, then the real Jay z popped up wit his ugly was. Fucked me all up lol
Really??? I thought it was soo *Cool!!*
She killed it. Lol
This era of Bee was so freakin' good!!!!!!! Wish she was still like this!!!!!! ❤

A bunch of s*** that don't matter
A true feminine woman doesn't need to state what she brings to the table.
@@sunshinesunflowerz1647 she enough for her Husband jayz ..
Remember when every girl wanted to look like Beyoncé instead of the Kardashians or Cardi B those were the days
"When you're in the meetings for the mills, take Me just to compliment the deal"..... Let you know everything you need to know about their relationship
And THIS is why the haters be mad. Outstanding BEAUTY! Outstanding VOICE! And most of all, she can DANCE! All that combined in one.. yeah, the talent is too much for some of ya'll to handle.
Beyoncé is the BEST female artist of our generation. I know that makes some of you mad, but I'm sorry, your anger isn't going to stop the Queen from reigning.
Thudas22 she cant dance, ciara and janet our real dancers. beyonce has an ok voice but her dance moves are not hard..
C heart you can leave now and not diss the queen thank you very much, can u dance as well as beyonce?? i didn't think so, what about sing as well as she can? no? then don't diss her, simple
C heart *are
It doesn't matter. Beyonce is washed up. Her last album was horrible.
C heart sure.... sure just keep saying that to yourself.....
This Coronavirus has its advantages, I reconnected with the old beyonces songs.

If you really think that beat was originally B, think again
ua-cam.com/video/-ICj3Ngyy9M/v-deo.html
so true. wanted to hear a power song like this. being at home for more than 6 weeks ... I needed this boost!!! Queen B
This is probably my favorite Beyonce song. From the beginning she let him know she can take him higher than #1.
“I am the light to keep the street on…” Fellas listen closely this is a “BAD” sista right here.
“Picture your life elevating with me
Make you my project celebrity
I keep your name hot in them streets”
She has done all of this for Jay.
10yrs later still one of my fav songs and videos of hers. To reminisce about my 20’s 😂😂😂❤
I've never seen a song age so well , she did upgrade him✨💁🏽
Thank you. I'm just from a discussion about this song. It's standing the test of time. 💯
FACT!
who have you upgraded or even built with?

True..it's okay to be picky.
Also..choose your partner wisely..
Deeeeeeepppppp hahaha
Me too LOL 😆
Exactly, they are so positive
Lol, Beyoncé was spittin while Beyoncé was dancing around Beyoncé
Lol, Now that's what you call a one woman show.
HaHaHa not funny
fav part was when she walked in front of her self and she turned into j
😂 right
BEYONCE-CEPTION!
I love how beyonce was dressed as jay z when his part came on, then switched to him. It shows the point they are making to this day. They are the best halves of 1 another. ☯️
This woman really worked hard back in her days and her level of relaxing now tells all😍😍🤗
Let's all be honest, that editing switch where it goes from Bey playing Jay to actual Jay is one of the dopest music video decisions ever carried out. You may not have realized it when this video came out, but after seeing that, you already knew deep down that these two would go on to be royalty.
I believe they ought to thank their video directors/managers and camera men for that.. In all likely hood it had very little to do with JayZ or Beyonce.
Fyralynn
Not once, did I say it was Beyonce or Jay-Z's doing or decision, I'm actually positive that the decision came from the director, that's how the process of most videos work. I just mean that the way they were presented in this video kind of solidified them as the royal power couple they are now. It was nicely done, classy, and just a genuinely cool depiction of them.
They were already known as royalty before then.
Fyralynn No Jay wanted to see how Beyonce would perform as him so he made the changes to do that.
I'd rather see bey as j then him himself
Plot twist: These are actually their wedding vows
On the verge of a new merge... you made some points
@King Kami her singing at Kobe's memorial was really good.
Lmaooooo
King Kami THANK YOU!
Damn this comment section took a turn huh
In our country Jay Z known as Beyoncé’s husband 😅, she really upgraded him

I miss this. Can we please bring glamour back? Videos like this and Say Somethin by Mariah Carey were really everything. I'm over the instagram girl with a snapback, track suit or crop top and excessive highlight. These new girls just aren't doing it right. We need the Beyoncé, Naomi, Mariah glamour back. I miss the stunts, everything is so basic now.
YES you speak the truth, couldn't agree more!
Say something is perfect
that's cause the girls today are replaceable. the real divas got class, glamour and talent for days! and real divas always stand out from the rest.
