I'ma, I'ma-a diva (hey), I'ma, I'ma-a diva
I'ma, I'ma-a diva (hey), I'ma, I'ma a diva

Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...
Na-na-na, diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla, of a, of a hustla...
I told you, gimme a minute and I'll be right back
Fifty million round the world and they say that I couldn't get it;
I done got so sick and filthy with Benjis, I can't spend it
How you gon' be talkin 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 (first!)
I'ma-a diva (hey), I'ma, I'ma-a diva (hey)
I'ma, I'ma-a diva (hey), I'ma, I'ma-a diva

Tell me somethin', (tell me somethin'): Where yo boss at? (Where yo' boss at?)
Where my ladies up in here that like to talk back? (that like to talk back)

Since 15 in my stilettos, been struttin in this game,
"What's yo age?" That's the question they ask when I hit the stage

The song "Diva" by Beyonce is an anthem to strong, independent women who know what they want and are not afraid to go after it. The chorus, "I'ma diva, I'ma, I'ma diva," implies a sense of confidence and self-assuredness that comes with being a powerful, successful woman. The next line, "Diva is a female version of a hustler," suggests that these women are go-getters who are not afraid to work hard to achieve their goals, just like their male counterparts.
In the verses, Beyonce flexes her success and speaks out against those who doubt her. She boasts about making fifty million dollars and being the number one diva in the game. She also challenges those who talk behind her back, saying that they act like she just got into the industry when she's been at the top for years. Beyonce also touches on the idea of women being objectified and reduced to their looks and age, but she refuses to be defined by those standards.
Overall, "Diva" celebrates strong, confident women who are not afraid to take control of their lives and achieve success on their terms.

Bet he better have a six-pack in the cooler
And if he wants to impress me, he better have something to offer

I am a diva and I am making bank, so you better believe it
She ain't callin him to grade-up, don't need him, her bed's made
