About This Track

'6 Inch' is the fifth track on Beyoncé's sixth studio album 'Lemonade', released in 2016 through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. The song features Canadian singer The Weeknd and was written and produced by DannyBoyStyles, Ben Diehl, Beyoncé and Boots, with additional songwriting from The Weeknd.

The track centres on a woman who commands every room she enters, stacking money relentlessly from Monday to Sunday. Beyoncé frames her as professional, self-sufficient, too smart to crave material things yet grinding without pause. The Weeknd's verse sketches the details: pesos, Yamazaki straight from Tokyo, Ace mixed with Hennessy rushing through her veins. The bridge insists she fights for power rather than possessions, pushing herself through sleepless nights because she loves the grind.

The visual accompaniment for 'Lemonade' pictures Beyoncé in a dark plantation parlour swinging a red bulb like a lasso, the light illuminating a group of seated women, and later strutting through a burning house in lace and six-inch heels. The imagery gathers black women that history has cast into shadows, fitting for an album concerned with bringing such figures to light.

"6 Inch" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album Lemonade, released 23rd April 2016. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 17 articles about Beyoncé.

Lyrics

6 Inch

[Chorus: Beyoncé]

Six inch heels

She walked in the club like nobody's business

Goddamn

She murdered everybody and I was her witness

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]

She's stacking money, money everywhere she goes (You know)

Pesos out of Mexico (De uno)

Commas and them decimals

She don't gotta give it up, she professional (Oh)

She mixing up that Ace with that Hennessy

She love the way it tastes, that's her recipe

Rushing through her veins like it's ecstasy (Oh no)

She already made enough, but she'll never leave

[Chorus: Beyoncé]

Six inch heels

She walked in the club like nobody's business

Goddamn

She murdered everybody and I was her witness

She works for the money, she work for the money

From the start to the finish

And she worth every dollar, she worth every dollar

And she worth every minute

[Post-Chorus: Belly]

She work for the money

She work for the money

She work for the money

She work for the money

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]

She stack her money, money everywhere she goes (She got that uno)

Her Yamazaki straight from Tokyo (Oh, baby, you know)

She got them commas and them decimals

She don't gotta give it up 'cause she professional

[Chorus: Beyoncé & The Weeknd]

Six inch heels

She walked in the club like nobody's business

Goddamn (Goddamn, babe)

She murdered everybody and I was her witness (Oh)

She works for the money (Work for the)

She work for the money (Work for the)

From the start to the finish (Oh, baby)

And she worth every dollar (Worth every)

She worth every dollar (Work for the)

And she worth every minute

[Bridge: Beyoncé]

Stars in her eyes

She fights for the power, keeping time

She grinds day and night

She grinds from Monday to Friday

Work from Friday to Sunday, oh

She gon' slang

She too smart to crave material things

She pushing herself day and night

She grinds from Monday to Friday

Work from Friday to Sunday, oh

Stars in her eyes

She fights and she sweats those sleepless nights

But she don't mind, she loves the grind

She grinds from Monday to Friday

Works from Friday to Sunday, yeah, yeah

She gon' slang

Too smart to crave material things

Stacking her paper, stacking her cake up

She grinds from Monday to Friday

Works from Friday to Sunday

[Chorus: Beyoncé]

Six inch heels

She walked in the club like nobody's business

Goddamn

She murdered everybody and I was her witness

She works for the money, she work for the money

(Know just what to do to make you love me)

From the start to the finish

And she worth every dollar, she worth every dollar (Love me)

And she worth every minute

[Outro: Beyoncé]

Now, ooh, boy, I'll make you feel

You'll always come back to me

Come back, come back

Come back, come back

Come back, come back

[Produced By ​boots, Beyoncé, Ben Billions & Danny Boy Styles]
