"I may have won 26 grammies but I've lost 46 times"
That spoke to me. ❤❤❤
“ Never feel entitled to win “
This is going to stay with me throughout my whole damn life
.........
We should really all take that to heart.
And on the flip side you guys, don’t feel condemned to loose.
beyonce really just spoke to us for 10 minutes straight. never have i ever felt more blessed
Ikr
😂😂
Blessed!? You mean cursed smh yall sheep foreal nit knowing yall worshiping a witch
Isaiah Williams if it’s a curse. Then it’s the best one to ever exist. Thank you
you are DEMONIC.....as she is then.
Beyoncé sounds like a true caring mom- and she probably is 😭
Her seedthing know nannies and guards more than her. Definitely not.
You mean dad
@@creaturedomes9364 Get Help
Not she probably she is - SHE IS!!
@@creaturedomes9364 Are you dumb
This really opened my heart and eyes. I’m in that stage where I’m letting failure and the people get to me. Criticism and negativity from the people and from myself ruin me and I feel like I’m not enough or powerful enough to show who I really am with my gifts. After seeing this, this gave me so much hope, she admits to having failures just as much as success and she keeps going, she admits that it should be about honesty and diligence than winning, she even admits that I don’t have to act, speak, or look a certain way to show the real me. Thank you Beyoncé ❤️
I believe in you sweetie. Go set the earth on fire with your talents❣️❣️❣️
i think i would never be able to listen to this without hearing those edits 😭🤣
Exactly 💀
Frr
She has an angel's voice. This is the best sound I've heard today.
U really need to get out more, and u have never heard an Angel before 🤦🏽♀️
Sicari Baby hater
@@Blockchain_babe bruh u can't deny her voice soothing asf
I’m not even graduating this year and I felt like she spoke to me 🤞🏾🖤
Sorry what course did she graduate from? I don’t get it
@JayVern yeah i felt the same too...
You need a better role model!
@@musicloverforever8664 xh9p
@@hancymatute4415 seems u r quite experienced...
I see some negative comments about the speech seeming rehearsed. Of course it’s rehearsed. Valedictorians rehearse, Presidents rehearse, MLK rehearsed. That’s what you do when you want to cover major topics, and speak with accuracy and meaning to your audience. You can tell she spoke from the heart as she related to our struggle through her own experiences in life, no one could have written that except her. Don’t be the negativity she’s speaking about.
People always have to find something to complain about. Had she been reading off a teleprompter they'd probably be mad that she didn't rehearse it. She spoke beautifully and powerfully with a lot of heart and that's that. Congratz graduates!
Some people will always be mad
Preach but people gone hate her anyway its Beyonce
@Curtis Tisfuckingberger your just a pointless hater he isn't a sheep for not hating on a positive message like you
it's obvious she didn't write it, it was written by the one and only blue ivy, blue pulls all the strings, the rest of the industry is her puppet
Why do I feel like her speech is not just for Class of 2020? Her message is really indeed applicable for every human being that are still alive and fighting this year 2020.
i’m not even class of 2020 and i felt like she was speaking to me😩
Be quiet old lady
True
That’s EXACTLY what I loved about it!!!! ❤️
She’s a great example and inspiration to us all .✨💖✊🏾btw there’s a lot of negativity down here so just focus on the great ,beautiful inspirational,video and leave the comments 🤣🤣(but for real )
MJ always said with success comes hate..... Clear in the comments here.
Who mj
She's dumb. Not hate, just an observation
@@lowellcalavera6045 smarter than you. richer than you
People don’t hate her because she’s successful.. they hate her because she’s fake.
@@kaedentruong6925 do you know her to know she is fake? Or is that you projecting
When you're a great singer....even your speaking voice sounds like music....
I don't know why people hate on her speaking voice, it sounds so smooth and deep and grown.
Because she sold her soul to the devil
Hernan Luna 🙄 what are you even talking about 😂.
@@blackswordsman8549 do you have evidence for that?
I like her voice. It's really nice actually
She sounds like a geezer.
Ima plagiarize and recite this entire speech to my daughter when she graduate in 9yrs 🤣 she’ll be like “damn ma that was deep”
Lmao GURL 😭
People think once they’ve hit a certain age it’s too late, it’s never too late. Go after what you want
If you become a doctor only at 40 or 50 years old, there are lots of lives that you will save. I believe that applies to all the other career paths as well.
@@juliaakel1025 amen
Thanks you spoke to me I am 51 years I sometimes I feel I waste away my years.
@@jabulanisena6288 you just started living, you’ll look back 10 years from now and be glad you did
The fact they got all these people together to do this is so sweet
This is how to give a speech. This is how to motivate people and let them see all works of life. Not just glorifying success, but telling them to be ready to fail and use that failure as a stepping stone to greatness. I'm still learning, still growing, and glad I watched this video.
and the funny thing is there's a big chance she didn't even write it
@@erikeriks doesn't take away the fact that it's a great speech. Her delivery is also worthwhile. You can have the greatest lines in the world, but if you don't deliver them well, the lines won't have an impact on the audience.
Erik Eriks Funniest thing is that you took this message of empowerment and used it to be negative and stupid. Very revealing of your character.
She’s brilliant.
@E Lee Karen.
I'm class of 2021 but, I appreciate her words either way. It applies to anyone.
"The world will respect you as much as you respect your self." - Yoncé
It literally says class of 2020.... let them have their moment and stop being so invasive.
Murphy nigga su
@@princesslubin2333 That's the kind of attitude that gets y'all in trouble
@@murphy3807 its not that deep tf
"Surviving that struggle with strengthen you" that hit me hard 😔
Everytime I fell down and feel like stress got me like heck, I always watch this. She is just an inspiration for me and such an empowerment.
When Bey said “I’m so proud of you” I literally cried 🥺 congrats to the class of 2020
Andre Knowledge357 She’s a classically trained mezzo soprano actually. Not valuing musical education tells me a lot about you.
@Andre Knowledge357 Idiot!!!
Her poise and graciousness is what gets me!
y’all this is not about arguing about Beyoncé... this is about the class of 2020 graduating. 😕
thank you🤗
Damn this made me cry. 😭 I'm the first in my family to graduate from college, and I'm about to start graduate school. My dream is to start a school for kids with special needs. Lately I have been feeling scared and inadequate. I have wondered if I can really do it. This encouraged me so much to keep going after my dream, to work hard and make it happen and keep pushing no matter what. Thank you Beyoncé for your powerful words. ❤️
You can do it
She’s a high school dropout so is her husband,yet she inspired u,well make sure u tell the person that wrote it for her 💯 and congrats on ur education
High school drop outs who didn't give up on their goals and pursued their musical careers, successfully.
did I mention they have a combined net worth of 1.4 billion?
Sicari Baby your acting like she isn’t one of the most successful artists of all time lol
Amaryllis the Realest Congratulations! Go after your dreams! What other people feel or think doesn’t matter! They aren’t helping you by looking down on you, so dismiss their opinions. Trust me it’s only their opinions. The more ppl say no the harder i work to prove to myself yes it will happen. Now watch me work!!! The world needs more ppl like you with a loving caring heart! Now show us your work! Congratulations and we wish you the best of luck. Prayers to you on your beautiful journey. 🙏🏽❤️
I read a lot of "motivational" content but Beyonce's speech especially resonated with me as a 2020 college graduate. One of the most inspirational messages I've heard lately. I took a lot of notes.
BUILD YOUR OWN STAGE AND LET THEM SEE YOU !!!!!! -BEYONCE 2020
Blessing Badru yusssss
“ the shorter answer- PUT IN THAT WORK” 🙌🏽💪🏽
She is home arrest for satanism. She is handcuffed. You will never see her agin publicly. Her last videos shows only her in half with fotoshop.
She only supports all illuminati topics. She is kab rat controlled and sometimes malfunctioning like during that basketball game.
She will be executed together with other celebrities but she will choose: to save her face: slipping pills, otherwise gitmo execution.
Wake up people!!!!!!

Me too
Hey hive !!!! We’re together in this one! I LOVE Y’ALL!!!!!!
Certified Hivesman 🐝🐝🐝 love y'all. Yoncé really turned it out on this one.
TITANIMUS OMEGA yes she did😁👍🏼
She hasn't aged at all in the last 20 years.
I Want Your Soul she looks super old and like a dude now
Bitter Betty STFU she is gorgeous
@@creaturedomes9364 u blind
she's not that old, i mean she's in her 30s, like you know who alessandra ambrosio is?
@Ibidibi * B doesn't want to look white she is proud of her color stfu
Why are ppl hating this? Am I missing something... It’s an amazing speech
Bcuz she's not a graduate wth does she knows about working hard to get an education, absolutely nothing 😒
It is because of her husband, Jay Z. He sold out the community for a huge payout for himself when he teamed up with the NFL.
When asked about taking a knee and Colin Kaepernick, Jay Z said that we have moved beyond taking a knee.
All for money in exchange for Black lives.
It is hard to hear these words when the money her husband is making for their family is at the price of more dead Black people.
Artful Living that’s a real statement
Thank you for the context! Completely understand now :(
@@Blockchain_babe Just because she didn't go to college doesn't mean she doesn't have wisdom about life. I'm in college and everything she said motivated me to keep going in my education and understand that i will mess up and that's ok. She dropped some wisdom that everyone can take to better themselves.
"How to celebrate individuality and the importance of investing in myself."
I really felt that
Lol by buying fake hair, being fake, making people worship you and your split personalities from MK ultra mind control. Seriously sasha fierce. Do any of you satan worshipers care your souls are going to burn like hers in crazy in love video when selling out (destiny's child) to jayz. She's super selfish and self absorbed. YOUR SOULS HAVE BEEN WARNED. If you don't care for my message, stop pretending to be Christian and be what you really are, hellbound.
@@ladygreen632 you need to stop smoking. Seriously.😳
@@SkyAndersonReacts beyonce is light skin with long hair
i love how she was able to beautifully blend all current events while also empowering all marginalized identities !!!!
Like she was the one who wrote it
@@frankjirik8475 does it change anything?
I don’t care if she didn’t write. She said it! She used her voice to inspire. I don’t care who wrote or helped write it. She dropped gems. That is the important part. The message is the important part! She continues to thrive, progress, she’s light on injustice.
"Empowering all marginalised identities". You'd have to prove that statement before you think it's true. It's actually not empowering. She's instilling fear and hoplesness in them. In other words: Evil.
@Sandy Jones lol y'all sre at the top in thr power dynamic
i swear, her voice is one of the most soothing things i've ever heard. i love her, smh. 💖
Am I the only one who felt watched at the "I see you" part?
Like, ahhhh! It felt like she was speaking to me!
3:53
bey really told me everything i needed to hear :(
She told a camera not u 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Sicari Baby you mad doggy?
When she said " I'm proud of you" my mind just thought " But why all I've done is sat on my couch for months?" 😅
Still saving lives

.💫Wish you brightest future ahead !!you are awsome human being 💪
Some of yall are spending alot of energy trying to tear her down. But its ok becuase shes the most talented performer of this generation💖
Matter of opinion
A STAR VOCALIST TOO
IKR in MY opinion there nothing to hate to ME it looks pure jealousy
@MrBambinoc only idiots believe in demons, illuminati 😭 etc yall love to hate on a powerful BLACK woman!
@MrBambinoc if it's taylor, she "worked hard". If it's a black woman, you call her "demonic" "sold her soul" "illuminati". Gurl cant we accept that black people are very worthy to be that talented and that famous
Her words are so powerful. Thank you B’, I love you!🥰 Our hearts are full and inspired. 🖤
I love that this speech has meaning and value in every sentence. No empty words ❤️
If you’re here from the “you are dumb” video it’s at 5:05 💀
Lifesaver
THANK YOU
Why would yall be searching for that...
@@gumballanddarwin3 meme
Thanks
Loved her speech really gave me alot of encouragement its time to make my goals happen!! Im black ima go an achieve them better now then later..
Her speech made me cry🥺💜
Yeah I didn't experience the graduation feelings but at least I got some huge motivation from their speeches 🎓
"A group that does not get to be center stage... BUILD YOUR OWN STAGE & MAKE THEM SEE YOU!" Powerful message from the Queen! Don't wait for opportunities to be handed to you because they might not ever! Don't wait for approval! Know your worth, and create your own platform of excellence! Thank you Beyonce! I am proud to be apart of the Class of 2020! Cheers to us!

@@uggabriela3761 can't you do something better than copy and pasting the same comment over and over again it just shows that you're lazy.
@Windigo Jones dude shush y'all white folks need to get on somewhere.
"so never compare yourself to anyone else" i really felt that
I see her point but it is through comparison we are motivated to improve
@@mujtab8siddiqu1 though many dont ever have the chance to see it ..they just follow the heard we are on our own in this world now my sane friend
A complete stranger that doesn't even know that you exist had to tell you that, why? Where's your parents, and what have they not done for you!?
@@SkyAndersonReacts Not to mention the very fact that she had the audacity to state that she comes from an era where "black women didn't have a seat at the table", Beyonce has always been sitting at the table, that's why she has the money that she has, wtf is she talking about!?
@@Serenity-sg4jf you're entirely stupid aren't you? Is Beyonce the only black woman in this era? Do you know how hard she had to work to be at this point in her life compared to her fellow white female musical peers?. Black women have always been neglected a seat at the table and that's facts. Wake tf up
I’m sorry but I can’t get out of my head. “You are…dumb, unattractive, overweight, and unworthy” *awkward smile*
Her Voice Is so smooth and velvety!
@shy boy Explain?
I love how the edited version where she calls us dumb and overweight has more views
"Don't talk about what you're gonna do. Don't just dream about what you're gonna do. Don't criticize somebody else for what they're not doing. You, be it. Be about it. Be about that action and go do it." 💯💯
One of the best commencement speeches I ever heard. Respect to Bey🤗
I graduated more than 10years ago but last night I feel like it’s was happening cause of those words thank you 🙏🏽
thank the speech writer that wrote it, not the moron that read it.
joe james. Are you that desperate? Your literally hating, for what? Find something else to do than hating every chance you get.🙄
“I REMAIN a work in progress. And that’s the beauty of growth.” Love this line. We can never stop learning, never stop furthering ourselves - there is always more to improve and more to discover.
Sandy Jones “When you spend your valuable time thinking, speaking, and typing negative thoughts, you are investing in something that will give you absolutely no return in your investment.” -Beyoncé 😗🙏
Sandy Jones and you must be a hater 🙃
@@elisedelaserre9453 No, she has sense.
Finally the positive version
This made me cry so hard. Her words are so inspiring and heartwarming
I feel like we are all the class of 2020 ❤️
I cried at ‘and you still made it. I'm so proud of you’ because I realized that my parents have never said they were proud of me.
Alice Meuris Well I’m proud of you!
We all proud of you! Even if your parents did not know better to show you [our parents do the best they can with what they had + unfortunately they have their own struggles many we may never know because they did not grow up in an environment that encouraged emotional and mental elevation like we are seeing now --- forgive them and do not let their short comings take away from your achievement! ] proud that you have come this far and excited for your future. Today is the 1st day of the rest of your life!
@@jenlotus17 Oh no, my parents are very much abusive and have ignored me after I came out as queer
I'm proud of you!
As a teacher, I'm telling you: I'm proud of you and you made it! This is about your journey, and that at the end, is your victory! 💚💚
This has to be one the most important speeches of our Generation , of determination, self love and hard work that pays off
this speech is like a warm hug 😭 you speak with such passion and heart it makes me feel so inspired and fulfilled. thank you for being my light for over 20 years!!! you will never know the impact you've had on millions of us. please never stop growing, and following your gut wherever it leads you. we will follow and support you. thank you for everything, bey!
Beyoncé for president
You are so stupid! She has her own company, millions in her bankaccount and is world famous. She is smarter and richer than an intellectual.
Andre Knowledge357 we have a literal racist, evil, narcissistic Cheeto in the White House and you think she would be worse? Seriously?
No no more entertainers
Andre Knowledge357 she is a strong woman with her own businesses. School does NOT mean successfulness. She is more successful than you.
Chloe aha exactly
When she said, "you are the answer to a generation of prayers" I cried. As a first generation university student, I'm going through so much. But I know I need to break the cycle. I'm the Chosen One. There is nobody else. Kudos, Class of 2020.💪✊👊
Wishing you all the best! 🥺🖤
Yes break that cycle. You've got this. I am so happy for you. Surround yourself with things that push you forward:) all the best.
Beyonce is truly magical and has made herself a history maker.
Words can be so powerful. YOU CAN BE THE LEADER THAT EVERYONE NEEDS.
A lot of these comments are ridiculous.
LISTEN for once people.
Dang! I graduated college 13 years ago, yet I find this message relevant in my life today. If I could add to Beyonce's beautiful message, it would be that you don't have to have everything figured out after you graduate. Life will teach you some things that the books could have never. Congrats to the Class of 2020!
Karenja Chandara 👏👏♥️♥️

Thank you, kind person! I'm heading to college.

may i ask how old are you?
Every word hit me hard. Thank you so much for such a motivational and inspirational speech. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
This is literally the most I've seen her speak lmao
i’m not graduating any time soon, i’m not american, i’m in a country that is nothing like america, but i keep coming back to this speech and cry like an idiot, the way she speaks!! the way she looks at you!! yes she’s looking at the camera but i feel like she’s literally looking at my soul. i will forever admire you beyonce even though i’ve just known you in the last two years and i don’t know everything about you but i will thank you and remember your beautiful impact forever💟

Make this speech trending #1 worldwide this 🌎 needs 👑 Queen Bey speech !!!
Shut up dork.
Fear Kratos stay MAD !!!!!
Fear Kratos how about you shut up. She is giving out a speech of class 2020 and you’re over here being a hater. Go hate somewhere else nobody asked you to be here.
Love this, she spoke beautifully.
She read beautifully
I'm so moved by this, I feel like I can speak for a lot of people here, she spoke to my soul, to be honest- I got tears in my eyes. thank you!!
Graduating today. I watched this and bawled my eyes out.
she just made me feel so worthy and proud of myself, I literally cried 😭❤️
How sad is that?
I can do long division on your eyebrow
Do u realize she didn't write it so actually it wasn't her that made u feel that way,it was the person that wrote it 💯🤦🏽♀️ u know she can't articulate sentences she's a dropout
You are not black
She has the most attractive voice EVER!
LOL!
More like the most annoying voice ever
Jay-Z coming for you 🤣
Bananafana lll your opinion you can keep it
5:05 is where the meme is
thank you
I cried so bad the first time I saw this and I wasn’t even graduating😭
Not graduating, but I'm inspired AF. Thanks Queen 💜
This is not a speech, this is a declaration of motivation!
No better person to hear these inspirational words from than a woman who consistently gives everything she's got to her craft. I love this so much! Thank you, Beyonce! ❤
It was a powerful speech I really liked it, I’m Dominican, but I received the message like if I was part of class 2020
"Forget the fear, forget the doubt"
- Beyonce
I need to have this play everyday when I wake up. I need my Beyonce pep talk.
Haha me too
fr that voice makes me bust instantly
Well......that is probably the saddest thing I have heard today.
Y'all better stop worshipping these celebrities :(
sad
i come back to remind myself to work hard
Wow, 10 minutes! I've never heard her speak this much! She's so beautiful! Yeah it's "rehearsed" like some have mentioned, and that's because she's a perfectionist. This is actually how a speech should be properly delivered, in case y'all didn't know.🤭😂
The fact that they pushed this until it hits that 10 minute mark is very frustrating
Moved to tears by this speech. Thank you
Imagine if Tupac was still alive and gave a speech like this
One of the most powerful woman in the world or the most powerful woman in the world
Beyoncé and I are the same age. I didn’t pursue my talents in music and performance, and here I am listening to her and feeling inspired to keep pushing. I absolutely adore her and am moved to follow my own path.
Never too late.
I say go for it!
I’m so happy that I am a part of class 2020 thank you so much ❤️
I love everything about this speech keep winning Bey♥️🔥 keep inspiring us to want and do better for ourselves!
I watch this everyday since it was posted😩 it became my mantra
Beyonce your speech was so beautiful and what the class of 2020 needed to hear. 🤗🙌🙌🙌Congrats class 2020. You made it.✊
