Beyonce was supposed to drop two new songs next week, but full versions of the tracks leaked online late Thursday night.

The 2014 fall TV report card

The first, "7/11," is an aggressive track that's just begging for a Nicki Minaj verse. "Hold that Coke like alcohol/Hold that Coke like alcohol/Don't you drop that alcohol/ Never drop that alcohol/Never drop that alcohol/I know you care about alcohol/I don't think about that alcohol," Bey raps.

But as fun as "7/11" is, it's the second track, "Ring Off" that has everyone talking. In the track, Beyonce sings to her mother Tina Knowles, commiserating about her mother's recent divorce and marital troubles. (Listen to "Ring Off" in full at SPIN.)

"Mama, I understand your many sleepless nights. When you sit and think about father and how you tried to be the perfect wife," Bey sings. "I wish it didn't hurt at all/I don't know how I got here/I was once the one who had his heart/Until you'd had enough and then you took your ring off."

Rumors that Beyonce and Jay Z are headed for a divorce have heated up in recent months and "Ring Off" seems to deliberating be fanning those flames. So is Beyonce trolling us or is this a real confession about the state of her marriage?
