• This is What Beyonce’s ‘Flawless’ is Really About

    Psych! This post is really about Rihanna.

    Rihanna. Yes I said it, Rihanna. I’ve been pondering upon it for a while now, then I stumbled on this tweet.

    I find that if you replace every ‘flawless’ in that song with ‘Rihanna’ or a Rihanna picture, you get the real, hidden meaning of the song. Science, I swear.

    Let’s try with the chorus:

    You wake up, flawless

    Post up, flawless

    Ridin’ round in it, flawless

    Flossin’ on that, flawless

    This diamond, flawless

    My diamond, flawless

    This rock, flawless

    My Roc, flawless

    I woke up like this, I woke up like this

    We flawless, ladies tell ’em

    I woke up like this, I woke up like this

    We flawless, ladies tell ’em

    Say “I look so good tonight”

    God damn, God damn

    Say “I look so good tonight”

    God damn, God damn, God damn

    Am I wrong? Didn’t it feel right to you?

    *taps mic* I’d like to apologize to all Beyhive members. Please don’t make me disappear. Thank you.
