Then he discusses a girl most fans presume to be London, describing meeting her and her being unimpressed before eventually dating him and eventually dumping him when he tried to have sex with her. He gets nostalgic about a vacation they took together to the Bahamas, musing about an experience literally anyone who has gone through a breakup has had at some point:All she ever wanted
Was for young Weezy to love her
But all I ever wanted was to cum easy and dump her
But that didn't come easy
'Cause she ended up being my baby's mother
And then I felt smothered but little did I know
I'd never find the same girl inside another
But I never thought that I'd be looking for her
And I never thought that late at night
When I'm in the mix laying down with some chick
That suddenly it'll click
How this broad in my drawers dont know shit
Bout what I did 'fore I was big
When's there's a woman with my kid where I should be
In the final verse, Wayne reflects on the societal conditioning around masculinity that led him toward having these struggles in his relationships:And I remember the Bahamas for the weekend
We was freaking in the suite
And she looked sweet enough to beat it up
'Til we began to sleep and now
I'm dreaming 'bout the Victoria Secret lingerie
Told me keep it, she ain't want moms to see it
And just think I once saw it on the girl's body
Now all I'm seeing is nobody
Wayne isn't often given credit for these kinds of raps, partly, you get the sense, because while rap is his medium for working through his feelings, it's not where he wants to get personal. So credit Mannie Fresh (of the aforementioned Big Tymers) for making sure that this song made it onto the album. In his interview with MTV News, Wayne explained, "I kept it gangster and that's hard for a lot of people to do, touch on a sensitive subject and still keep it gangster and still have the 'hood agree with you on that. I had to write something on it, and I don't write books, poems. I had to write a rap. I recorded it, but I didn't mean for it to be on the album. I recorded it to LL Cool J's 'I Need Love' beat, and Mannie heard it. He was like, 'Nah, this got to go on your album with another beat.'"Thank goodness Mannie saw the vision. Thanks to him we have one of Wayne's most personal songs, right here on 500 Degreez, which may not have gone number one but surpasses expectations in terms of the content of much of the music on it.Follow Kyle Kramer on Twitter.See this here is not your everyday love tune
It's the story of your everyday thug dude
And in your mind you prolly thinkin we don't love you
But on the real we just not used to what love do
And please consider that

Love pussy but you don't love them hos
