Is 2Y. 2D. about Rihanna ? I know RiRi was rumored to have included a Prince penned track on her latest album. Supreme disapointed can only be relieved by the suspicion that they actually worked together and the Xpectation that the collaboration was so fruitful and sensational that they (or Prince...) yanked it at the 11th hour and did not one but a few songs that will see the light some day on a great Prince album.
RiRi, Meshell Ndegeocello (who apparently auditioned with Prince before she went to Madonna), Grace Jones and Sade seem like such natural astounding co-collaborators for Prince, I can't imagine that he hasn't already jammed with them.
Every man who meets her wants 2 give her his name [ she has worked with a lot of producers... ] She's 2 hot 4 words and 2 wild 2 tame She's got knee high boots and e-o-lectric hair [ * that signature red hair 2011 Billboard show w/ Brittany ] She's born 2 be a rockstar, I sware [ Rockstar song ]
She's got 9 lives, with a couple more 2 spare [ she survived chris "ass" brown ] She's old enough 2 do ya, but 2 young 2 dare [ RiRi 28 years old, born on Feb 20, 1988 ] 2 young, 2 young 2 dare (2 young, 2 young 2 dare)
She's got a kick drum brain full of technology But just enough old school 2 know where the party b [ ¡Gracias, purplepolitician! ] She talks about the top as if she's always been there [ "Hey baby, I'm a rockstar" ] Like a member of the chosen few rarified airs
Her legs so long, she never climbs stairs [ at 5'8" RiRi is taller than Beyoncé, Madonna, Brittany, et al ] She's old enough 2 do ya, but 2 young 2 dare 2 young, 2 young 2 dare (2 young, 2 young 2 dare) Yeah! 2 young 2 dare 2 young 2 dare
2 fine 4 Idol, 2 smart 4 the X Factor Internet beauty everybody want 2 hack her The world can only wonder right up until They hear the juicy gossip that's in her will
'Til then, we can just pretend That she's old enough 2 do ya Old enough 2 do, Old enough 2 do But she's just, 2 young 2 dare
2 young 2 dare (2 young, 2 young 2 dare) 2 young 2 dare (2 young 2 dare)

Ms Allo is not nearly as arrogant as these lyrics suggest:
"She talks about the top as if she's always been there"

I'm pretty sure it's about Andy Allo. There are a lot of references to her in the song (knee high boots, electric hair etc). | |

Nope, I think it is about Judith Hill! "A united state of mind will never be divided
The real definition of unity is 1 People can slam their door, disagree and fight it But how U gonna love the Father but not love the Son? United States of Division" | |

The term is often used when somebody is so high in society, people will say they breathe a different air then common folks. In this case, he's using it as a play on words- "a.. chosen few rarified heirs-" like an heir to a kingdom or heir to a rich family. | |

Don't know why, but I've always heard it as about Damaris Lewis. Probably just the long legs reference... Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com
