\"4:44\"
Many called the title track to Jay-Z's album a response to his wife Beyonce's \"Lemonade\" album. On this song in particular, he raps: \"I apologize often womanize/Took for my child to be born/See through a woman’s eyes/Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles/Took me too long for this song/I don’t deserve you.\" The rapper also said he was \"emotionless\" during their relationship before apologizing again.
\"Don't Hurt Yourself\"
Beyonce gets help from rocker Jack White on this \"Lemonade\" song, which she sings in a garage. Still angry and wearing a fur, Bey sings, \"Who the f--- do you think I is?/You ain't married to no average b----, boy.\" It seems her man isn't willing to reconcile just yet, even though he's caught as Bey sings, \"Beautiful man, I know you're lying/I am not broken, I'm not crying, I'm not crying/You ain't trying hard enough.\"

\"Sorry\"
The tables have turned in this uptempo track. Now, Beyonce just wants to dance her cares away with her girlfriends. In the video, she turns up on a party bus, having the time of her life. Back at home, Bey is joined by none other than a twerking Serena Williams who bounces while Beyonce sings, \"Middle fingers up/Put them hands high/Wave it in his face/Tell him, boy bye!\" She also sheds light on who her man has been cheating with, singing: \"He better call Becky with the good hair.\"
\"We Family\"
On this \"4:44\" track, which received help in the form of the couple's 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, Jay-Z seems appreciative of the family he's created. And in fact, Jay-Z says he'd do anything to keep his family together. \"And thank the heavens for BB, her Creole roots run deeply,\" he raps, referencing Beyonce. \"I'm crazy, you ever leave me I might have to put on a gris-gris/Spell for us to stay together.\"
\"Sandcastles\"
In this rare ballad on \"Lemonade,\" Beyonce recognizes that she may have hurt her husband by claiming she was leaving him after his infidelity. But watching him hurting, she sings that she can no longer leave. \"Your heart is broken 'cause I walked away/And I know I promised that I couldn't stay baby/Every promise don't work out that way,\" she sings.

\"Adnis\"
This song on \"4:44\" is actually a \"letter\" to the rapper's father, Adnis Reeves, who left the family when Jay-Z was only 12 years old. Still, the song also addresses how that absence could've affected how he is as a man, a husband and a father. \"Who would've thought I'd be the dad I never had,\" he raps, \"Be the husband I've become, usually nothing come from that.\"
\"All Night\"
In this song on \"Lemonade,\" Beyonce croons to her husband that she wants to rediscover the love they had by making up \"all night long.\" And although she knows that \"so many people\" are \"just tryna' touch ya',\" she still wants to \"give you some time to prove that I can trust you again.\"

The final song on \"4:44\" is purely dedicated to Beyonce. Throughout the song, he talks about how much the two have accomplished -- from their joint \"On the Run\" tour back in 2014 to repairing their relationship. \"Look at all we been through since last August/Skating through the rumors like, \"Aw, s---!\"/Still came back, f----- up the red carpet/Shows how big your heart is,\" he begins. The song ends with, \"I always thought she was an angel, now I'm sure, sure.\"
