Favorite quotes and moments from #Lemonade

It ain't yet summer but Queen Bee is serving us Lemonade....
 Lemonade is about  her family,cheating and addictions from old relationships affecting her own future relationships.

   

. Mr. Carter wahala.
"You remind me of my father, A magician. Able to exist in two places at once. In the tradition of men in my blood, you come home at 3am and lie to me. What are you hiding...
The past and the future merge to meet us here.  What luck.  What a f*cking curse."

.  Beyonce on trust.

"I don't know when love became elusive.  All I know is no one I know has seen it....My father's arm around my mother's neck. Fruit too ripe to eat. Plugged my menses with pages from the Holy Book but still coiled inside me was the need to know: Are you cheating on me?

.  "So what are you going to say at my funeral now that you've killed me? Here lies the body of the love of my life whose heart I broke without a gun to my head. Here lies the mother of my children both loving and dead. Rest in peace my true love who I took for granted. Most bomb p*ssy."

. Cheating rants.
 "I tried to change. Closed my mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less awake.  Plugged my menses with pages from the Holy Book but still coiled inside me was the need to know: Are you cheating on me?"

.  Beyoncé talks on Malcolm X's 1962 speech he gave in Los Angeles.
Malcolm spoke the utmost truth about black women in America in this speech:  "The most disrespected person in America is the black woman.  The most unprotected person in America is the black woman.  The most neglected person in America is the black woman."

. Bow down bitches
 "Ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks."




. Bey lets, a cheating man, know he played himself. 
"I f*ks with you, till I realize, I'm just too much for you.  Who the F*CK do you think I am....Give my fat ass a big kiss boy.  you think I am? Tonight I'm fucking up all your shit boy."

.   Serena Williams cameo. 



They ain't sorry.  And they're putting their middle fingers up in that boy's face saying "Boy bye."  All while Serena twerks and body rolls for her life.  And Beyonce´was simply perched in that chair looking like a boss. They were showing the world what happens when a woman is fed up, and when she's in the process of getting her life in formation without that man.

.  The epitome of not giving a f**k about that dude who cheated on you.
"You betta call Becky with the blonde hair."





.  Louisiana native Q Wallis starring in the mother-daughter scene filmed in New Orleans.

.  The vintage home video footage between her and her father Mathew Knowles from when she was alittle girl placed back-to-back with new footage of Mathew with Blue Ivy.
Arguably one of the most powerful statements in the anthology.  It's the moment, right before she goes into her native Texas-inspired track, which makes it clear she is showing how the cycle has been broken.  Despite everything her father did, she wants her daughter to know he is loved by her grandfather.

.  Mother to daughter talk. 
"Mother dearest, let me inherit the earth.  Teach me how to make him beg.  Let me make up for the years he made you wait.  Did he bend your reflection?  Did he make you forget your own name?  Did he convince you he was a god?  Did you get on your knees daily?  Did his eyes close like doors?  Are you a slave to the back of his head?  Am I talking about your husband, or you father?"


.  "Why do you deny yourself heaven?  Why do you consider yourself undeserving?  Why are you afraid of live?  You think it's not possible for someone like you?  But you are the love of my life....There is a curse that will be broken."
When the fix becomes clear, and we realize just how many cycles of abuse and hurt are passed down instead of broken.


.  Beyoncé on the  piano
"Show me your scars and I won't walk away...every promise don't work out that way."  Some saw this as a woman taking back her man after he broke promises or cheated.  Others saw it as taking accountability in walking away from your loved one when they make a human mistake, due to being too scared to face it head on, based on what you saw in your parent's relationship.  Risk and vulnerability.
Either way, we were in tears.

. #BlackLivesMatter
Powerful cameos of some of the young unarmed black men who were recently killed at the hands of authorities, and their mothers who loved them.The mothers of Eric Garner, Mike Brown, and Trayvon Martin holding pictures of their sons. All three men’s lives were taken at the hands of police officers.




.  Amandla Stenberg, Zendaya, Chloe , Halle, Winnie, make cameos

.  The meaning behind Lemonade revealed.
"Take 1 pint of water, add a half pound of sugar, the juice of 8 lemons, the zest of half a lemon, pour the water from one jug into the other several times.  Strain through a thin napkin.  Grandmother, the alchemist.  You spun gold out of this hard life.  Conjured beauty from the things left behind. Found healing where it did not leive.  Discovered the antidote in your own kitchen.   Broke the curse with your own two hands.  You passed the instructions down to your own daughter.  Then she passed it down to her daughter."


Jayz grandmother said that she was served lemons in her life and she made it into lemonade.


 
.  "My grandma said nothing real can be threatened. True love Brought salvation back into me. With every tear came redemption. And my torture became my remedy."
