This question comes up every now and then, and everyone has a different interpretation. My interpretation is "Ws" are all the "who, what, where, when" questions. Instead of saying: "Do you dream straight up, or do you dream in Ws", he's saying, "Do you dream of you fantasies/future, or do you live in regret/past". Anyway, that's how I hear it. Take it or leave it!

I think you're right because the lines before it talks about someone stealing gold. This person would think who, what, where, when will they get me type questions instead of sleeping normal or sleeping at all.

It's about Vaginas.

When he asks, "Do U dream?" it's code for "Do you bathe"

The words "straight up" and "W's" stands for bottom and top, meaning, bottom is the rearend, and top stands for "to p" or "two p's" which is code for vagaina.

In other words, the question he is REALLY asking is "do you wash your azz and vagina?"

Prince was obsessed with hygene at the time, evident in Purple Rain, where who wouldn't let Appolonia sit her stank ass on his motercyle until she washed her ass and vagina in the waters of lake Minitonka"

Dorthy Parker had to take a bubble bath, Susana Melvioin (If I was your Girlfriend) was offered to have her hair washed, and Something in the water is really about washing ones ass in stinky water--which does not compute.

But to make a long story short, "Positivity" is about vaginas.

Go back and listen to it, I know you'll agree.

No.

All of Prince's songs are about vaginas...
