Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar – America Has A Problem (Audio, Lyrics)

Beyoncé recruits Kendrick Lamar for the new “America Has A Problem” song. Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track produced by MIKE DEAN, Beyoncé & The-Dream.

Beyoncé recently kicked off her “Renaissance” tour. There have been plenty of headlines coming from the tour thus far. Before the tour began, fans were speculating left and right about the setlist and the show in general. However, before the first night even began, people were leaking info about it. Fans were able to see the setlist early thanks to a video of the tour book being uploaded. Now that the tour is well underway, fans finally have the full, 36-song setlist. In a hilarious moment on the tour, Beyoncé did take a moment during the concert to remind fans who is in charge.

Since the release of Beyoncé’s latest album last year, fans have been begging for some sort of visuals. Generally, visuals are a huge part of any album the iconic artist releases. So, it’s no surprise that the main question on fans’ minds has been, “Where are the visuals?” Hilariously, a segment of Beyoncé’s set provided a very direct response to this question. In the intro to “Formation,” a narrator provides a voice-over as the words are displayed on huge screens. “I know you hear me. You’ve asked for the visuals,” the disembodied voice says. “You’ve called for the queen, but a queen moves at her own pace, b*tch.” However, it seems that Beyoncé has some surprises for fans, after all. Today, she dropped a surprise remix to “America Has A Problem.”

Beyoncé fans can never really know what to expect. The iconic artist is well-known at this point for dropping things out of the blue, from videos to songs to full albums. Today’s drop is no exception, as the singer dropped a new remix of her 2022 track, “America Has A Problem.” The song now features a verse in the beginning from none other than Kendrick Lamar. The two previously worked together on Beyoncé’s Lemonade album.

Kendrick’s verse proves to be the perfect complement to the song.

Lyrics

[Intro: Kilo Ali]
America, America has a problem

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Lamar
Terror line watcher, pgLang collar, 9-11 slider
Look at my garages, synced up
Get the genie out the bottle and point it at any model
Lamar
What, what, what, ayy, what
Go Stink, fuck it up, go Stink, fuck it up
Go Stink, that’s what’s up, go Stink, I’m in love
Hey boo-boo, too much complexity to love me from goo-goo
My momma told me that the money outgrew you
My horoscope said I’m really out my noodle
I’m troublin’, I’m puzzlin’, it’s sudoku
Say B, yes, America got a problem
Geeked up, choosin’ love, or they chose violence
Universal, please don’t play possum
I’m a business man doin’ as follow
Truthfully I be lyin’ in my rap song
‘Cause I always fail to mention I’ll snap homie
His career didn’t come with no life insurance
Hope his day one fans got some facts on him
I’m an honorary Beyhive
Let’s see why them diamonds don’t be fly, they all CGI
You better get it off your chest like breast reduction
If she stressed over you, she stressed for nothin’
Hold up, wait a minute
Even AI gotta practice clonin’ Kendrick
The double entendre, the encore remnants
I bop like tin men, the opps need ten men
(Alpha) Billboard (Riders), they know
(Bustas) not to hold (Lotta), rightfully so
(Coacher) Simmer down (Regatta), I go
(They got us) I go

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
Heard you got that D for me
Pray your love is deep for me
I’ma make you go weak for me
Make you wait a whole week for me (For me)
I see you watching, fiending
I know you want it, scheming
I know you need it, drug lord
You want it on you? Don’t I know
You need love, I need some too
Do you want this like it wants you?

[Refrain: Beyoncé]
Know that booty gon’ do what it want to
Can’t hit it one time, multiple
I know you see these rack-rack-racks on me
Now come and get hi-i-i-i-i-igh
Twenty, forty, eighty out the trap, hit it with the rap
Put it on the map, then we right back
Call me when you wanna get hi-i-i-igh
Tony Montana with the racks
Ivy P on my bag, double G’s on my dash
Nigga, I’m bad, I’m bad
Tell me when you wanna get hi-i-i-igh

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Kendrick Lamar]
Boy, you can’t get no higher than this, no, no
‘Cause love don’t get no higher than this, no, no, no, no, no

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Grind (Grind)
Boy, you know I grind (Grind)
When I pull up these jeans, you’re mine (When I pull up these jeans, you’re mine)
You’re mine (You’re mine, you’re mine)
When I step on the scene, they
Can’t wait to back it up
Your ex-dealer dope, but it ain’t crack enough
I’m supplying my man, I’m in demand soon as I land
Just know I roll with them goons (Goons)
In case you start acting familiar
This kind of love, big business
Whole slab, I kill for

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Kendrick Lamar]
Boy, you can’t get no higher than this, no (Higher)
‘Cause love don’t get no higher than this, no, no, no, no, no

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Grind (Grind)
Boy, you know I grind (Grind)
When I pull up these jeans, you’re mine (When I pull up these jeans, you’re mine)
You’re mine (You’re mine, you’re mine)
When I step on the scene, they
Can’t wait to back it up
Your ex-dealer dope, but it ain’t crack enough
I’m supplying my man, I’m in demand soon as I land
Just know I roll with them goons (Goons)
In case you start acting familiar
This kind of love, big business
Whole slab, I kill for

[Refrain: Beyoncé]
Know that booty gon’ do what it want to
Can’t hit it one time, multiple
I know you see these rack-rack-racks on me
Now come and get hi-i-i-i-i-igh
Twenty, forty, eighty out the trap, hit it with the rap
Put it on the map, then we right back
Call me when you wanna get hi-i-i-igh
Tony Montana with the racks
Ivy P on my bag, double G’s on my dash
Nigga, I’m bad, I’m bad
Tell me when you wanna get hi-i-i-igh
