Ring the Alarm Lyrics

Cover art for Ring the Alarm lyrics by Beyoncé

I may be reading into this too much, but I think this is from the point of view of a married woman whos husband is cheating on her. Furious, and not loving him anymore, she wants to divorce him, but they have a prenuptial agreement, so instead, she decides to kill him, daring him to "ring the alarm" in that mocking way that black women have sometimes (believe me, I know). The bridge is her moment of plea, before she remembers what she was going to do.

Angry black woman meets Fatal Attraction. Excellent, in my opinion.
