Drake 'Girls Love Beyonce Lyrics, AUDIO; Tribute To Beyonce and Samples Destiny's Child (LISTEN)
Canadian rapper Drake paid homage to Beyonce in a new single that is laced with a sample from one of Destiny's Child's biggest hits, Say My Name.
Drake released his latest single, Girls Love Beyonce' for Bey fans on Monday and it features guest vocals from James Flauntleroy. The Young Money rapper opened the song with the title and then delved into one of his favorite rap subjects- relationships.
"Look, I know girls love Beyonce / Girls love to f- with your conscience / Girls hate when n--s go missin' / Shorty, you ain't no different / These days I feel like my love life is finished / I've been avoiding commitment."
Flauntleroy then comes in and sings Destiny's Child most popular hooks, Say My Name, Say My Name.
Drake said in an interview that Girls Love Beyonce will not be on his upcoming album, Nothing Was The Same. "I'm excited about the place me and 40 are in," he told East Village Radio (via Rap-Up). "I'm doing this whole album in order, so like the first six songs just tell this story that I've been dying to tell, and now I'm just trying to continue that story."
Drake's previous released single, Started From The Bottom, recently went platinum in record sales, according to Billboard.
Drake recently opened up about his Chris Brown feud over Rihanna in a previous interview with East Village Radio.
"His insecurities are the reason I make better music than him ... I'm more poppin' than him," Drake said about Brown. "At one point the woman he loves fell into my lap and I did what a real n-- would do and treated her with respect," he added.
Drake released the ode to the Houston singer on the same day she performed the first concert for The Mrs. Carter Show world tour in Europe on Monday. She kicked off th tour at the Kombank Arena in Belgrade, Serbia on April 15. She performed a set list that included over 20 songs.
Bey thanked her fans after her first concert in the Europen leg of the tour.
"Thank you Serbia!❤" Bey wrote on Instagram
The North American leg of her tour begins on June 28.

[Verse 1: Drake]
Look
I know girls love Beyoncé
Girls love to f*ck with your conscience
Girls hate when n*ggas go missing and shawty you ain't no different
These days it's hard to meet women
Feel like my love life is finished
I've been avoiding commitment
That's why I'm in this position
I'm scared to let somebody in on this
No new friends, no no no
You know how this sh*t go
You got your fair share of admirers that call your phone
You try to act like it's just me, but I'm not alone
But if you're alone then, say my name, say my name
[Hook: James Fauntleroy]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't running games
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady, baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
[Verse 2: Drake]
Yeah
Uh
Say my name, say my name
'Cause those other men are practice
And this ain't no time for actin'
And this ain't no time for games
And this ain't no time for uncertainty
And this ain't no time for locking your phone and not coming home and startin' some sh*t when I'm in the zone
This is why I've been saying
No new friends, no no no
You know how this shit goes
This is not four years ago
Time escapes me
Now forget how it felt when this sh*t move slow
I come through in whips that make a young boy take the long way home
All my young boys 'round me saying, "Get money and f*ck these hoes"
Where we learn these values? I do not know what to tell you
I'm just trying to find a reason not to go out every evening
I need someone that'll help me think of someone besides myself
I need someone I leave through the front door with
'Cause we don't wanna hide no more
'Cause you're not shy no more
Neither one of us wanna play the side no more
No, I'm not alone
Even though nothing was the same
Let me get your *ss alone
Let me make you say my name
Say my name
[Hook: James Fauntleroy]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, "Baby, I love you"
If you ain't running games
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady, baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
