durtvandutch Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 anybody know the lyrics to D-Child's new song soldier? more importantly: what does it mean when she says "know how to split that money 3 ways"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 i've actually wondered about this myself! i'm not sure. but i know beyonce's sister appears in the video heavily pregnant so maybe it means splitting the money for a family of three?? or else it means split the money three-ways and look after all three destiny's child girls (which i'm sure some of the boys on here would be more than happy to do! ). or it means (and this is my favourite meaning) that he gets one third and she gets two - can't be bad! so basically, no idea, sorry! great song though!

Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 amore importantly: what does it mean when she says "know how to split that money 3 ways"? That line is in Beyonce's part of the song, so I'm assuming she is referring to Jay Z. He is a rapper, producer and businessman (clothing line, new president of Def Jam), so that might be it. Then again, I may be completely off the mark. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggplant Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Aren't there 3 members of Destiny's Child? I would think they're talking about splitting the money between themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 This song strikes me as a little odd. Male rap/R&B stars are often criticised for being overly concerned with violence and material wealth and for treating women as mere sex objects. And yet here we have Destiny?s Child apparently celebrating exactly those qualities in their ideal men. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hmm, on second thoughts, perhaps I am. Like, 'a sense of humour'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 good one minky, to be honest i do think the song is a bit tongue in cheek - like in the video they totally seem to be taking the p out of themselves, all dressed up in trashy clothes, dungarees, early 90s clothes and hair etc! but i think what they mean by a soldier is someone who will take care of them as opposed to someone who'll go round beating people up!!
