Grown Woman – Beyoncé


I remember being young, tough, brave

I knew what I needed

I was spending all my nights and days

Laid back day dreaming

Look at me – I’m a big girl now,

Said I’m gon’ do something

Told the world I would paint this town

Now betcha I run this (ah)

‘Cause I put it (down like that, d-down like that)

And I’m making (all these racks, a-all these racks)

And I’m moving (round like that, r-round like that)

When I do it (I don’t look back, d-don’t look back)

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want

I’m a grown woman (grown woman)

I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want)

They love the way I walk

‘Cause I walk with a vengeance

And they listen to me when I talk

‘Cause I ain’t pretendin’

It took a while, now I understand

Just where I’m going

I know the world and I know who I am

It’s ’bout time I show it (ah)

I’m a grown woman (I’m a grown woman)

I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want)

I’m a grown woman (I’m a grown woman)

I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want)

I can be bad if I want

I can say what I want

I can live fast if I want

I can go slow all night long

I’m a grown woman (I’m a grown woman)

I can do whatever I want (whatever it is)

I’m a grown woman

And I know that I got it (got it, got it)

I’m a grown woman

Ain’t got no room in my pockets

I’m a grown woman

Look down, got you so excited

I really want to know if you got it like that

‘Cause you got a cute face

And a booty so fat

Go girl, go girl

She got that bum, that bum

That girl can get whatever she wants

That girl, that girl

She got that tight, that tight

Them boys, them boys,

They do whatever she like

I’m a grown woman

I’m a grown woman

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want (I can do what ever I want)

I’m a grown woman (‘Cause I’m grown)

I can do whatever I want

(I’m a grown)

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want (ever I want)

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want (ever I want)

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want (ever I want)

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want (ever I want)

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want (ever I want)

I’m a grown woman

I can do whatever I want (ever I want)

Empowerment Through Self-Discovery

In “Grown Woman,” Beyoncé delivers an unapologetic anthem celebrating female empowerment and independence. The lyrics capture her journey from youthful daydreamer to a confident, self-assured woman who embraces her individuality. Through affirmations like “I can do whatever I want,” Beyoncé highlights the freedom and authority that come with maturity. The song’s catchy, repetitive chorus reinforces the message of autonomy and self-love, while verses reflect on personal growth and the importance of embracing one’s own power. The playful tone and rhythmic delivery make it an uplifting track that encourages listeners—especially women—to stand tall and own their choices without hesitation or regret.
