Never, ever underestimate Beyoncé. In her own words, "I may just be a black Bill Gates in the making."

Queen Bey blessed us with a new song called "Formation" and a video just before her Super Bowl performance tomorrow, which Coldplay, Bruno Mars, the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers are also slated to attend.

You can download the track for free on Tidal.

She opens the track dismissing anyone who is not prepared to listen to her -- ''all haters corny with that Illuminati mess" -- and makes it clear that she means business.

The imagery is direct -- she sits on top of a cop car drowning in a flooded New Orleans, a young black boy in a black hoodie dances in front of riot police and a wall is spray painted with the words, "stop shooting us." Eventually, she sinks underwater as gunshots ring.

Blue Ivy makes an appearance, looking ready to inherit the throne.

She also sings, "When he f*ck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster,” because Beyoncé can be everything she wants to be.
