Don't hurt yourself es el tercer corte de Lemonade (2016), el sexto álbum en solitario de Beyoncé.
Una canción con la colaboración de Jack White, quien comparte créditos de composición con la artista, con Wynter Gordon, e incluso con los componentes de Led Zeppelin (John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, James Page). Y es que samplea When the levee breaks, pieza que cierra 'Led Zeppelin IV' (1971); un tema escrito y grabado de forma original por Kansas Joe McCoy y Memphis Minnie en 1929.
Letra
[Intro: Beyoncé]
Oh la la la
Oh la la la
Oh la la la
Don't hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself
[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
Who the fuck do you think I is?
You ain't married to no average bitch boy
You can watch my fat ass twist boy
As I bounce to the next dick boy
And keep your money, I got my own
Get a bigger smile on my face, being alone
Bad motherfucker, God complex
Motivate your ass call me Malcolm X
Yo operator, or innovator
Fuck you hater, you can't recreate her no
You'll never recreate her no, hell no
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
We just got to let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be baby
You just got to let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be
[Chorus: Jack White]
When you hurt me, you hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself
When you diss me, you diss yourself
Don't hurt yourself
When you hurt me, you hurt yourself
Don't hurt yourself, don't hurt yourself
When you love me, you love yourself
Love God herself
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
I am the dragon breathing fire
Beautiful mane I'm the lion
Beautiful man I know you're lying
I am not broken, I'm not crying, I'm not crying
You ain't trying hard enough
You ain't loving hard enough
You don't love me deep enough
We not reaching peaks enough
Blindly in love, I fucks with you
'Til I realize, I'm just too much for you
I'm just too much for you
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
We just got to let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be baby
Hey baby, who the fuck do you think I is?
I smell that fragrance on your Louis knit boy
Just give my fat ass a big kiss boy
Tonight I'm fucking up all your shit boy
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Jack White]
When you hurt me, you hurt yourself
Try not to hurt yourself
When you play me, you play yourself
Don't play yourself
When you lie to me, you lie to yourself
You only lying to yourself
When you love me, you love yourself
Love God herself
[Outro: Beyoncé]
We just got to let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be baby
Uh, this is your final warning
You know I give you life
If you try this shit again
You gon lose your wife
