AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM

AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM

Beyoncé

On “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” Beyoncé is comparing herself to cocaine and its high addictiveness.

Kilo Ali’s 1990 track “America Has A Problem (Cocaine)” is sampled in this song. The story revolves around cocaine, and the ups and downs it brings, through the metaphor of a woman.
Here, Bey is that woman and she’s noting all of the qualities she has that make her partner addicted to her, making him come back to her over and over again to get more of it.
