Kartoon Zoo: Beyonce and Jay Z's Bonnie and Clyde

Today I am going to write about Beyonce and Jay Z's song Bonnie and Clyde. I still hear it all the time and it makes me sick every time I hear it. Here it is and then here's why:

Uh-uh-uh

You ready B?

Let's go get 'em.

Look for me, young free
cruisin down the west side highway
doin what we like to do our way,
eyes behind shades this necklace the reason all of my dates been blind dates.
But today I've got my thoroughest girl with me,
I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin the wheel,
It's true to the heart
She rides with me the new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don't speak is durin "s__ and the City"
She gets Carrie feva, but soon as the show's ova
She's right back to being my sodier
'cause mami's a rida, and I'm a rolla
Put us togetha, how they gon stop both us?
Whateva she likes, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track mami is keepin me focused, so blessed
lock us down like it's supposed to be
The 03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hove and B,
holla

::Chorus::
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my
Girlfriend)
Down to ride till the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and My
boyfriend)
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my
Girlfriend)
Down to ride till the very end, it's me and my boyfriend (me and My
boyfriend)

::Jay-Z::
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin with the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin.
That ain't by nothin, if eva you mad about somethin, it wont be that, oh no it wont be that.
I don't be at places where we comfy at with no be-atch, oh no you won't see that and no
I ain't perfect. Nobody walkin this earths surface is
But girlfriend work with the kid.
I keep you workin that Hermes Birkin Bag.
Manolo Blahnik Timbs, aviator lens 600 drops, Mercedes Benz
The only time you wear burberry to swim
And i dont have to worry, only worry is him
She do anything necessary for him, and i do anything necessary for her,
So don't let the necessary occur. Yep!

::Chorus::
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend.
Down to ride till the very end, it's me and my boyfriend.
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend.
Down to ride till the very end, it's me and my boyfriend.

::Jay-Z::
Talk to em B

::Beyonce::
If I was your girlfriend,
I'd be there for you if somebody hurts you, even if that somebody was me, Yaa-hee hee.
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And so I put this on my life,
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us.
And I promise I'll give my life, my love and my trust if you was my boyfriend.

::Jay-Z::
One more time.

::Beyonce::
I put this on my life,
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in.
I promise I'll give my life, my love and my trust if you was my boyfriend.

Sounds terrible right? Double standards everywhere. Illuminati programming to the tee. Sexual scripts askew. Here's why...

Uh-uh-uh
You ready B?
Let's go get 'em.

We start with Jay Z asking Beyonce if she's ready. This puts Jay Z in the active role, with Beyonce in the lagging, possibly not ready, not strong enough to act yet role. Then he's like let's go get em as if there were a battle going on. There is no battle. All is one.

Look for me, young free
cruisin down the west side highway

So let's talk about the symbolism of the West. It the emotional, watery side. So this line is saying here are the emotions in my relationship.

doin what we like to do our way,
eyes behind shades this necklace the reason all of my dates been blind dates.
But today I've got my thoroughest girl with me,
I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin the wheel,
It's true to the heart

Here we have the start of cognitive dissonance. Apparently, Jay Z has been going on dates, even though we're technically within the time frame (in the song) of Beyonce and Jay Z being together (since Jay Z has already asked Beyonce if she is ready, implying that she is indeed there). Then Jay Z "reintroduces" Beyonce into the scene saying that she's his thoroughest girl, not only implying that there are more girls, but that she is the best because she's the best at sex. Thorough in this context is interpreted to be sexual because of the following verbs "mashing" and "grabbing". It's all gross.

She rides with me the new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don't speak is durin "sex and the City"
She gets Carrie feva, but soon as the show's ova
She's right back to being my soldier
'cause mami's a rida, and I'm a rolla
Put us togetha, how they gon stop both us?

First of all Bobby and Whitney's relationship was riddled with drugs, infidelity and domestic abuse. Also, Sex and the City is a terrible show, created by a rich, mean gay guy to program women badly. It's super fucked. Here, though, it implies that watching the show gives Beyonce independence, which ends as soon as it's over and she's right back to being Jay Z's soldier, another nod to a relationship where there's opposition, violence and struggle. Especially when people are apparently trying to "stop both [of them]".

Whateva she likes, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track mami is keepin me focused, so blessed
lock us down like it's supposed to be
The 03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hove and B,
holla

::Chorus::
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my
Girlfriend)

First of all, sin is not a thing. Nothing offends God, because God is everything. It all happens divinely. Second of all, apparently now Beyonce is his girlfriend, even though the rest of the song implies differently. Being Jay Z's line and not Beyonce's line, it also implies the sin of Eve, which we all know is poopy stuff.

Down to ride till the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and My
boyfriend)

Here is where we start the idea of a women giving everything, even her life, to her partner. Notice that this is Beyonce's line, not Jay Z's. So it's on her to "ride till the very end".

All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my
Girlfriend)
Down to ride till the very end, it's me and my boyfriend (me and My
boyfriend)

Here we have unfiltered evidence that Beyonce is not Jay Z's only woman, and that all these women are not really respected. Apparently, it's wrong to treat the woman you love like the woman you're sleeping with. Alternatively, it's wrong to treat the one that you're sleeping with like the woman you love. First of all, shouldn't they be the same woman? Why is one woman for love and one woman for sex? And which one has the least respect? From the song it sounds like the woman he loves is being treated with the same shitty respect that he's giving the woman he's sleeping with. Then the song implies that having two women isn't a problem and won't make you mad. It implies that the home ("places where we comfy at") isn't a place for "be-atch[s]", it's not where they are supposed to be. This not only implies that one woman is for the home and its comforts, and one woman isn't, but that neither woman deserves comfort. There's the "we" in this line that almost implies some people other than him and the woman he loves. It's almost like saying his bros. Which then implies that men have the comfy world, while women don't get to be in it. This is consistent with Freemason dogma. Jay Z is a Freemason.

Then Jay Z, after admitting all this, is just like I'm not perfect but you need to work with me because I pay for yo shit. Also, let's analyze the line about only wearing Burberry to swim. First of all, let's analyze the name Burberry. So we know what a bur is, it's a thorn. And we know what a berry is, it's a fruit so it implies sexuality. Basically Burberry is for sexually thorny people, people who want a little bur with their berry. Since she's swimming in it, it implies that the emotional, sexual energy is off, since water is the element of emotion. Swimming is a symbol of dealing with emotion. Wearing Burberry to swim is like saying that the emotions of their sex are all fucked up.

::Jay-Z::
Talk to em B

Now we're back to Beyonce, and she's not even sure this time if they're together. She starts out with "if I was your girlfriend". Now, all her lyrics are geared toward Jay Z, even though like none of his lyrics were geared toward her. She even implies that she would be the one at fault if he were hurt, more Eve and sin stuff, as you can see. Next is a line about (possibly) being happy. The juxtaposition of these lines (you're hurt and it's my fault with I'd be so happy with you) is cognitive dissonance. Probably what their relationship is like. Take the good with the bad, instead of just good. In Beyonce's "mind" the two things, good and bad, are so very close to each other. In this spirit are the next lines, where Beyonce says that she won't let anything between them (even Jay Z's other women) and that she'll give her very life to Jay Z. Here it is: Jay Z is off with his Freemason brothers fucking human trafficking victims while Beyonce is promising to give him her life. Talk about double standards.

::Jay-Z::
One more time.

::Beyonce::
I put this on my life,
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in.
I promise I'll give my life, my love and my trust if you was my boyfriend.

So basically, more bad sexual scripts, more programming men to cheat and women to lay down their lives for these "men". It's sick and twisted and I'm tired of hearing this song. The End.
