Song Breakdown
Jhene explains the outcome of a guy that she once knew. The guy used to be very popular, yet Jhene could not have him due to his ego and helpless romantic personality. However, gradually, this guy has lost it all, his popularity and his "hoes." By using 50 Cent's "Wanksta" sample, it emphasizes that he used to be "the man," but he lost his status, so he will end up alone.
