Rihanna has faith in God, and that He’ll steer her in the right direction.

She makes a comparison to her struggles with the struggles of Jesus, but concludes that praise is worth more than the sorrow. Then she asks that you let her lead you, like the biblical birth of Jesus where visitors were led by the north star.

The last line refers to an actor/director relationship of being in the public eye, as if they’re saying “let’s give them something to talk about”.

Rihanna could be referring how to how she’s a party girl, an extreme sex symbol in the industry, and may even have a relationship going on with Chris Brown again. (Which we now know, fast forward a few months from this release, that they in fact are together again.)

Rihanna is one making a statement to Mother Mary or the Virgin Mary, which could reference her connection to Catholicism. Essentially, Rihanna is repenting: “I swear I wanna change…”

An agreement was made
Don’t put on your clothes, and i’ll please you the way you want it

Little Blue has no idea what the meaning of “swag” is. As a matter of fact, it probably sounds like “googoo-gaga” to her

Jay-Z is also the self proclaimed “inventor” of swag

Jay-Z is perhaps referring to the miscarriage prior to the conception of Blue. He prayed that it wouldn’t happen twice

Also, prior to Jay & B’s relationship, Jay-Z’s ex-girlfriend was pregnant, but birthed a stillborn, which he spoke about in “This Can’t Be Life”
