Beyonce - Nile Lyrics






[Kendrick Lamar & Beyonce:]
One time I took a swim in the Nile
I swam the whole way, I didn't turn around
Man, I swear
It made me relax when I came down
I felt liberated like free birds, I'm stimulated now
Plunging away 'less my body's on top
All of these currents might cost me my life right now
Where danger finds me, it follows the tides
Many miles ahead of me, still I'm in stride
She said

[Beyonce:]
Hey little buddy, where you goin'?
I'm not sure of how to know I'm still motion
You seem regular, I seem regular
These streams may take me out to the ocean

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Told myself if I dive in it without precaution of a lifejacket
Then I'll dive in it 'til I'm exhausted and I'm type lacking
Waistline on four deep, senses on forty
Feel like there's four of me

[Kendrick Lamar & Beyonce:]
One time I took a swim in the Nile
I swam the whole way, I didn't turn around
Man, I swear
It made me relax when I came down
I felt liberated like free birds, I'm stimulated now
Plunging away 'less my body's on top
All of these currents might cost me my life right now
Where danger finds me, it follows the tides
Many miles ahead of me, still I'm in stride
That's some good

[Beyonce:]
Got the Nile runnin' through my body
Look at my natural, I'm so exotic
Darker the berry, sweeter the fruit
Deeper the wounded, deeper the roots
Nubian doused in brown, I'm lounging in it
I don't tend to youth, I said I'm drowning in it

[Kendrick Lamar & Beyonce:]
I'm in denial, deep in denial
I'm in the Nile, deep in denial

[Kendrick Lamar:]
That's some good

    [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Beyoncé]
    One time I took a swim in the Nile
    I swam the whole way, I didn't turn around
    Man, I swear
    It made me relax when I came down
    I felt liberated like free birds, I'm stimulated now
    Plunging away 'less my body's on top
    All of these currents might cost me my life right now
    When danger finds me, it follows with tides
    Many miles ahead of me, still I'm in stride
    She said

    [Verse 1: Beyoncé]
    Hey little buddy, where you goin'?
    I'm not sure of how to know I'm still motion
    You seem regular, I seem regular
    These streams may take me out to the ocean

    [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
    Told myself if I dive in it without precaution of a lifejacket
    Then I'll dive in it 'til I'm exhausted and I'm type lacking
    Waistline on four deep, senses on four deep
    Feel like there's four of me

    [Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Beyoncé]
    One time I took a swim in the Nile (One time I took in a swim in the Nile)
    I swam the whole way, I didn't turn around
    Man, I swear (I swear)
    It made me relax when I came down (When I came down)
    I felt liberated like free birds, I'm stimulated now (Stimulated)
    Plunging away 'less my body's on top (Stimulated, stimulated now)
    All of these currents might cost me my life right now (Right now, right now)
    Where danger finds me, it follows with tides (Follows with tides)
    Many miles ahead of me, still I'm in stride
    That's some good


    [Verse 3: Beyoncé]
    Got the Nile runnin' through my body
    Look at my natural, I'm so exotic
    Darker the berry, sweeter the fruit
    Deeper the wounded, deeper the roots
    Nubian doused in brown, I'm lounging in it
    Fountain of Youth, I said I'm drowning in it

    [Refrain: Kendrick Lamar & Beyoncé]
    I'm in the Nile, deep in denial
    I'm in the Nile, deep in denial

    [Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
    That's some good

    Beyoncé and Kendrick are super artistic. They're the last of their kind

  36. J.... R....

    💥💥💥💥

  37. O.... J....

    People complaining about the length everything about this album is intentional the artists involved, the songs that reflect the movie’s themes etc. I think part of the reason why it’s so short is think about the context it’s just after Simba has fled the kingdom wracked with guilt thinking he had caused his father’s death. He runs for through the savanna for God knows how long he passes out which is how Timon and Pumba find him. He is literally in limbo between life and death. Beyoncé says in the making of the album the song is sort of like your life flashing before your eyes before you die. Ita not a huge long epic moment it’s quick, it’s intense it’s a arguably even a spiritual experience. It’s Simba’s experience as he’s in that place emotionally as well as physically. There’s only so much he can do. On a grander scale the theme of being deep in denial that they cleverly interchange with “the nile” is a temporary pit stop. Like the moment you hear bad news you can only be in denial for so long it will catch up with you. You can try to AVOID thinking about it through multiple means food, sex, alcohol or in Simba’s case adopting the hakuna Matata lifestyle. But you can’t deny reality. It’s actually pretty cleverly done.

    Also Beyoncé and Kendrick work so well together because they both are incredibly deep thinkers. Watch either being interviewed they are not just musicians chasing money or fame they are artists that are trying to speak to the human experience through their work. It doesn’t surprise me that their track is the most introspective on the album.

  38. H.... S....

    Fucking love this song soul and all

    Only thing I wanted to know in the abc special was why was this song so short

  51. H.... P....

    Wish it was longer!!!! :(

  52. N.... I....

    It's ironic before this song came out weeks ago some people I mean a lot of people been killed in Sudan and thrown in the Nile by rapid speed forces and tied rocks in their feet so they never float and no one know about them.... I literally cried when I heard this it reminded me of 3rd of June. Mascare may the souls of our brothers and sisters rest in peace

  66. G.... K....

    SOMEONE PLEASE READ THIS.. Someone who knows how to mess with beats needs to go into this song and take out the background filler music/beat, so that way the song is ONLY them singing (including the effects to their voices) & the sort of wave crashing sound effect in the background and NOTHING else.. I PROMISE IT IS THE WAY THIS SONG SHOULD BE HEARD

  67. M.... V....

    affffffffffffffffffffffffff bom demais

    Lyrics from www.beyonce.com (Bey's official website)

    Verse 1: Beyoncé and Kendrick
    One time I took a swim in the Nile
    I swam the whole way I didn’t turn around
    Man I swear
    It made me relax when I came down

    I felt liberated like free birds
    I’m stimulated now
    Plunging away unless my body on top

    All of these current might cost me my life
    Right now

    When danger finds me it follow with tides
    Many miles ahead of me still I’m in stride
    She said

    Bridge: Beyoncé
    Hey little buddy where you going
    I’m not sure but I know I’m still in motion
    This ain’t regular I seen regular
    These streams may take me out to the ocean

    Verse: Kendrick
    Told myself if I dive in it without precaution of a life jacket
    Then I’ll dive in until I’m exhausted and I’m type lackin’
    Waste line on 4 deep
    Senses on 4 deep
    Feel like there’s 4 me

    Chorus: Beyoncé and Kendrick
    One time I took a swim in the Nile
    (one time I took a swim)
    I swam the whole way I didn’t turn around
    Man I swear
    (I swear)
    It made me relax when I came down
    (when I came down)
    I felt liberated like free birds
    I’m stimulated now
    (stimulated) Plungin away unless my body on top
    (Stimulated now)
    All of these currents might cost me my life
    Right now
    (right now)
    When danger finds me it follows with tides
    (stimulated right now)
    Many miles ahead of me still I’m in stride

    That’s some good

    Verse: Beyoncé
    Got the Nile running through my body
    Look at my natural 
    I’m so exotic 
    Darker than berry
    Sweeter than fruit
    Deeper the wounded
    Deeper the roots
    Nubian doused in brown
    Boy I’m lounging in it
    Fountain of you, I said I’m drowning in it
    I’m in the Nile, deep in denial
    I’m in the Nile, deep in denial

  91. B.... D....

    What da fuck is this 😒
