  General Comment:what does the phrase "Say it real loud if you fly" mean?
  and what does the "boo" mean?
  I'm not a native speaker so don't mind of my questions sound a little silly!

    She means say it real loud if YOU'RE fly. The "you" is just slang.
    And she's saying it in reference to the following phrase. Like "Say THIS real loud if you're fly: 'If you leave me you're out of your mind!'"
    Boo is just a term people often use as a pet name for their significant others, like baby, honey, etc.

    Repetition is one of many lyrical stylings in music, and has been for quite some while.
    
    Outkast: "Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it like a polaroid picture."
    Dusty Springfield: "Come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, take another little piece of my heart now baby."
    Leona Lewis: "Keep bleedin', keep, keep bleedin' love."
    Britney Spears: "Gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more."
    Alicia Keys: "No one, no one, no one can get in the way of what I'm feeling."
    Rihanna: "Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh."
    
    She just used a more creative way of repeating things, is all:
    
    me and my boo
    and my boo
    boo
    ridin'
    (these are the official lyrics straight from Sony)
    
    It's catchy and memorable. The lyrics in this song aren't actually that difficult or "tricksy" - she used some pretty straight forward lyrics throughout this album, because she was focusing mostly on making the music itself be about as clever and intelligent as I've seen in an R&B album.

  General Comment:As for what dressed to the nine means... phrases.org.uk/meanings/…
  
  And I imagine the kissed me in his 6 is a reference to a car. Probably a BMW 6 series.

  General Comment:^I thought maybe it's sposed to sound like "seat" (which is still stretching). Maybe it's sposed to mean "he kiss me in his sex"?
  
  Does anyone know what we dressin' to the (9) is supposed to mean?

    '6' is from the BMW edition. So shes basically saying 'he kiss me in his car'.

    Nope, not a BMW. Its talking about the 600 series of the Benz, Jay Z always talks about it in his songs.

  General Comment:As soon as i heard it thats what i thought too. preparing the world for her belly.
  she says i'm tryna make us three from the two. which makes more sense. i wish it said he pick me up at 8 instead of he pick me up we ate.. it makes more sense. and i wish there were more songs like this and end of time. such a slow album. its ok i guess.

  My Interpretation:So I just heard this song for the first time a few hours ago and thought it was completely stupid, but it really grew on me after i read the lyrics so I like it now, lol. Either way, I was reading the chorus where it says "I'm tryna make a (3) from the (2)" and at first I just though it was a filler line, like the line from the "doe, a deer" song that says "la, a note to follow so", but it just dawned on me that maybe she meant she was trying to make a (3) from the (2), like make the two of them become three, like have a baby! ...Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but that's just what I thought.

    No, its not a filler. She announced at the VMAs that she is pregnant, so that's what it means!(:

    Also, note that the first few times she says it in the music video, she rubs her belly.
