   This is what she is trying to imply:
   
   1. Girls don't care about the money of men!
   2. They cannot disrespect them now.
   3. She was born to do this job.
   4. The song is for the independent girls.
   5. Don't he ever dare to cheat or disrespect her because the team she called will take revenge on him.
   6. BEYONCE IS REPRESENTING ALL THE GIRLS WHOSE TAKING ALL OVER THE WORLD AND CALLING ALL THE GIRLS TO CELEBRATE FOR THE NEW BATCH OF INDEPENDENT LADIES.
   7. To other men that respect, she says she TAKES AN INCLINATION TO THEM (WHICH MEANS, IF YOU HAVE A RESPECT FOR GIRLS AND EQUALITY, YOU MUST HAVE NOT HATED THIS SONG)
   8. Don't ever dare to cheat on them because they actually make more money than men can do.
   
   BEYONCE IS REALLY RIGHT! REALLY REALLY RIGHT GET OUT OF HERE HATERS! THIS SONG IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT WITH HER RELIGIOUS POINT OF VIEW! F*** OFF!

   You ignorant mother fuckers who just think its a harmless video,listen to pple who can educate you on your ignorance.beyonce is a devil worshiper watch the video closely and see that she is wearing an ear ring shaped in a triangular shape which is a freemasonic symbol.she sends out messages in all her videos most of the subliminal.Also observe the symbol on the door of the police vehicle that looks like the islamic moon cresent .The freemsons whorship idols,most baal gods,all other gods except Jehova,Jesus,Adonai because they know he is the true saviour of mankind.Jesus the only name through which man can be saved.even jay z ridicules christ by calling himself jehova and lady gaga ridiculing christ in one of her videos.my pple perish for the lack of knowledge.

   Hi everyone,
   It is totally ok to write a song about girl power without being accused of devil worshiping. Iknow she's not, but if she was...... ppl it's not a crime.....
   "GIRL POWER"

   Hi Devil Lovers and Haters. No, B and her hubby would never write a song about that. She loves God. So whatever you're smoking or drinking, keep it to yaselves.
   
   Ok....this song is awesome. It makes me want to dance everytime I hear it and it will go down as the "Woman's Anthem" Beyonce's cleverness and bravery pops up many times in the song. B could stand on her own and can't we? Yes we can! We're strong enough to bear children and love them and then get back to work, sex, relationships, the next day. B states that we work hard and do everything in our power to get that pay check. She shoutes out to the college grads (hell yeah!) good for you girls! BC a long time ago, women weren't allowed to have a voice, and I'm pretty sure B rocks with her voice, and will always do so. :)

   Thank You!
   and adding a bit to the "girls should be able to be beautiful how they want to" bit, women have basically been told to wear 1000000000 layers for centuries (still are in some parts of the world) because men can't keep their hands off. (some countries mandate full-length covers so that men shan't be "tempted"). If she wants to wear a skimpy outfit, have fun. Go do it. She then tells the men hands off. I think there is a little more testament to the male reactions than the female ones in the costume area.
   
   Ever seen "7 Things (Guys Don't Have to Do)" by Venetian Princess? It's kinda badly done, but it still makes me laugh. This so made me think of it.
   
   This is a wonderful song about female empowerment. I love it! And for all you haters, I'm Christian. But "God runs the world but women have a greater role in it than history has shown them to have" doesn't quite have the same ring, does it?
   
   If you're going to say "you're stupid, she's the antichrist and if you play her songs backwards you can hear the devil himself speak" that's a load of crap--I've played songs backwards just for the heck of it and they all sound (vocally) about the same. Including "Have I Told You Lately (That I Love You)" and Stacie Orrico's "Hesistation" (which is a Christian song about how we need to act for God right now)...so just shut up.

   People Need to understand that there is a battle between good and evil. everything in Revelations in the bible, is coming to fruition. Beyonce is just a classic example of the devil building up his army , on earth to fight the last battle. of good and evil that is. Jump on the Jesus wagon as soon as possible , I hope to see you all in heaven.

    This song is full of contradictions. She writes lyrics of woman dominance and "empowerment", yet she asks for approval in the line "Hope you still like me". Love cannot devour either. Because love is not greedy and it is not proud.

    DJ don't be scared to run this, run this back
    She's refering to the people who have reversed her songs for the hidden message.
    Hope you still like me, If you hate me
    My persuasion can build a nation
    She's meaning that she can mind control you with her looks ( notice how she danced at the award show running her hands up her legs)
