Inspired by the Godfather scene in the 1996 movie, Set It Off, Destiny’s Child opens their album by meeting together with their “godfather,” Beyoncé, to discuss their commandments of relationships.
[Verse: Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett & LaTavia Roberson]
LeToya Barzini, I wanna thank you
For helping me organize this meeting here today
And Kelly Stracci, I also want to thank you
And all the other Dons of the four families
Beyoncé Corleone, from the South West
And LaTavia Clemenza, from the Four-Four
Our objective of this meeting today is to discuss
Destiny's Child's "Commandments of Relationships"
You know, it's so unfortunate, so unnecessary
For us to end up with broken hearts
Yes, Godfather, times have changed
Relationships aren't like the old days, you know?
See, what we need is a man of his word
All this, uh, cheating, uh, backstabbing, uh, hating
No more, no more
But, Godfather, how do we avoid all these mishaps?
[Outro: Beyoncé]
It's obvious, the writing's on the wall
Thou shalt not hate
