[Intro: JAY-Z & Beyoncé]
Hahahahaha
Yeah, B, talk yo' shit, hahaha
Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you
How you gon' 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, upgrade you
Hahaha
[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I hear you be the block, but I'm the lights that keep the streets on
Notice you the type that like to keep 'em on a leash, though
I'm known to walk alone, but I'm alone for a reason
Sendin' me a drink ain't appeasin', believe me (Believe me)
Come harder, this won't be easy
Don't doubt yourself, trust me, you need me
This ain't no shoulder with a chip or a ego
But what you think they all mad at me for?
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
You need a real woman in your life (That's a good look)
Takin' care of home and still fly (That's a good look)
And I'ma help you build up your account (That's a good look)
(Better yet, a hood look, ladies, that's a good look)
Believe me
When you're in them big meetings for the mills (That's a good look)
You take me just to complement the deal (That's a good look)
And anything you cop, I'll split the bill (That's a good look)
(Better yet, a hood look, ladies, that's

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars-Piguet you
Switchin' your necktie to purple labels
Upgrade you, (I can) up, (Can I?) up, (Let me) upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page
Introduce you to some new things and
Upgrade you, (I can) up, (Can I?) up, (Let me) upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
I can do for you what Martin did for the people
Ran by the men, but the women keep the tempo
It's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equal
Still played my part and let you take the lead role, believe me
I'll follow, this could be easy
I'll be the help whenever you need me (You need me)
I see your hustle with my hustle, I can keep you
Focused on your focus, I can feed you
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
You need a real woman in your life (That's a good look)
Takin' care of home and still fly (That's a good look)

Hey, believe me, I can upgrade you
[Chorus: Beyoncé & JAY-Z]
Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars Piguet you (Audemars Piguet you)
Switchin' your necktie to purple labels (Have you rockin' purple labels)
Upgrade you, (I can) up, (Can I? Hey) up, (Let me) upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page
Introduce you to some new things and
Upgrade you, (I can) up, (Can I?) up, (Let me) upgrade you
(Uh, Hov, uh-huh, Hov, uh-huh)
Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you
[Verse 3: JAY-Z]
I be's the d-boy who infiltrated all the corporate dudes (Uh)
They call shots, I call audibles
Jacob the jeweler, baubles (Uh-huh)
Lorraine Schwartz oughta do
It's big ballin', baby, when I'm courtin' you (Woo)
I'm talkin' spy bags and fly pads
And rooms at the Bloomberg and rumors
You on the verge of a new merge
'Cause that rock on your finger is like a tumor
You can't fit your hand in your new purse
It's humorous to me, they watchin' and we just yachtin'
Island-hoppin' off the Amalfi coast, mafioso
"Hov, baby, you ever seen Saturn?"
"No, not the car, but everywhere we are" (Uh)
You sure to see stars, this is high-level (Uh-uh)
Not eye-level, my bezel courtesy of Audemars
I order yours tomorrow, now look at the time I saved you
Mama, let me upgrade you (Hahahaha)
[Bridge: Beyoncé]
Just when you think we had it all
Big ends, condos, collecting cars
Picture your life elevatin' with me
Make you my project celebrity
I keep your name hot in them streets
But it's that little glimpse of light
That makes a diamond really shine
And you already is a star but, unless you flawless
Then your dynasty ain't complete without a chief like me
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars Piguet you (Woo)
Switchin' your necktie to purple labels
Upgrade you, (I can) up, (Can I?) up, (Let me) upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page
Introduce you to some new things and
Upgrade you, (I can) up, (Can I?) up, (Let me) upgrade you
Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you
[Outro: Beyoncé]
Audemars Piguet watch, dimples in your necktie
Hermes briefcase, Cartier tie clips
Silk-lined blazers, diamond-cream facials
VVS cufflinks, six-star pent suites
Partner, let me upgrade you, grade you
Partner, partner, let me upgrade you, grade you
Let me, let me, let me upgrade you, grade you
Partner, partner, partner, let me upgrade you, ha
