Why do almost everybody CUT OFF their interpretation at the second ref?
I wanna talk about THIS part right here:
"And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy "
I think we can all agree by now that the song starts by telling thats shes from humble quarters and consistently making references to the rap/pop-elite (wich she calls the "royals") and what they sing about and what they do, and how her own life will never be like theirs No, she has found a different kind of buzz. Thtas the EASY part.
Now comes this section wich is like the conclusion in the song:
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
WE CRAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF BUZZ
... saying that she (or they) will never be like them, its not in their blood. its just not for them, they've found something else to crave: (NOW, WHAT IS IT??)
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen Bee
And BABY I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy "
... Well,. its a fantasy to rule, and shes talking to her "BABY" (this seems kinda important), let me live that fantasy. Doesnt this sound kinda sexual? At least it does to me.
If this last part is about ruling the world or making the top charts, then the whole song would be talking against itself. Shes just said thet all this is NOT for her, so why would she wanna live THAT fantasy. It just dont make sense that way.
Shes saying she and her friends has cracked the code and this is like the conclusion:
To be happy with counting your dollars at the train, to never be like the royals, to not care about "their love affairs", to not have worries ("Life is great without a care"), but to live out the fantasy of ruling her boyfriend (in bed?), he can call her Queen B. ("and I'm in love with beeing Queen") Cause this is more "her kinda buzz". Then it kinda makes sense.
This may very well be flawed, but at least Im trying to look at the part of the text everybodys so conveniently skipping, or at least not giving any weight.
But as long as nobodys going to give me another fitting idea to what she might rule, Im gonna stick with this one.
she wants to be on top in the music industry while being a real person not needing the frivolous life to go with it.... humbling, and very very smart... shes changing the standards... someone should have thought of this a long time ago.... weve been listening to glorified crap for too long.... I agree with her.....

I am so glad someone else pointed this out! My boyfriend and I discussed how the "Fantasy" of being "Queen bee" or "Queen" is possibly her pushing against the oppression of women. Because at this point women ruling or being viewed as equals can still feel like a simple fantasy.

When she says "Let me be your ruler, you can call me your queen bee" it sounds like she's asking to be accepted the she is. She doesn't have jet planes, cadillacs or diamonds. All she wants is to be accepted the way she is.

Im kinda irritated over all the commentary here.

You absolutely nailed it. Everyone else is ignoring those exact lines: Queen Bee, baby I'll rule...
