About This Track

'Diva (Live)' by Beyoncé is a Pop track from the album 'I Am...World Tour' (2010). The lyrics present a swaggering self-portrait, repeating the line “I’m a diva” as a refrain while defining a diva as a female version of a hustler. The live setting adds momentum to the call-and-response feel of the vocals, turning the chant-like hook into a declaration.

Lyrics

Diva (Live)

I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustler
Of a hustler
Of a, of a hustler
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustler
Of a hustler
Of a, of a hustler
Stop the track, let me state facts
I told you give me a minute and I'll be right back
Fifty million 'round the world and they said that I couldn't get it
I done got so sick and filthy with Benji's I can't spend
How you gon' be talking shit? You act like I just got up in it
Been the number one diva in this game for a minute
I know you read the paper, the one that they call a queen
Every radio 'round the world know me 'cause that's where I be
I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva (hey)
I'm a, I'm a a diva
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustler
Of a hustler
Of a, of a hustler
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustler
Of a hustler
Of a, of a hustler
When he pull up, wanna pop my hood up
Bet he better have a six pack in the cooler
Getting money (money) divas getting money (money)
If you ain't getting (money)
Then you ain't got nothing for me
Tell me something (tell me something)
Where your boss at? (Where your boss at?)
Where my ladies up in there that like to talk back? (That like to talk back)
I wanna see ya (I can see her)
I'd like to meet ya (I'd like to meet her)
What you said? (Not to me)
She ain't no diva (she ain't no diva)
Take it to another level
No passengers on my plane
(Hey, hey, hey)
This is a stick up, stick up (hey)
I need them bags, all that money
Stick up, stick up
You see them ask, "Where that money?"
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustler
Of a hustler
Of a, of a hustler
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustler
Of a hustler
Of a, of a hustler (hey)
I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a, a diva
I'm a, I'm a a diva (hey)

She’s more than earnt the right for complete creative freedom and she repeatedly does things her own way tonight at the first of five sold-out stadium shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
