“Mi Gente” Lyrics Encourages Disaster Stricken Areas

Bustle reports that the lyrics to “Mi Gente” speak of encouragement and hope, specially to Puerto Rico, Mexico and Texas. More specifically a line in the song says, “Lift up your people, from Texas, Puerto Rico, dem Islands to Mexico.” It is an anthem of love from Bey’s heart that wants to give back to the community. Anyone who downloads the track will be giving to a worthy cause. She expresses how heartbroken she is  with what has been going on and would like to lend a hand to those who need it most.
Beyonce has always been speaking out for and directly helping causes she cares about.  She donated proceeds from the Formation Tour to the Flint water crisis in Michigan and in February, she expressed her all-out support to transgender youth via her Facebook page. Lending her voice for the greater good has always been in Bey’s DNA. This is one of the many reasons why the world loves her back.
