[Chorus: T-Pain]
How to hate a bitch that owe you everything✦
At least a wedding✦ ring, moving✦ on to better✦ things
So don't you call me talking✦ bout them other✦ fools
I'm not good enough✦ for you, I thought that we was cool
If you need a shoulder✦ to cry on, girl I won't listen✦
I'm through fucking✦ with these bitch-ass✦ bitches✦
[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
Coconut Ciroc
Forgive and forget,✦ bitch I already forgot
I'm over✦ the bitch, and she over✦ the top
They say love is the key, somebody changed the lock
Well, and I wish I never✦ met ya
And I heard you're doing you, and you heard I'm doing better✦
And all I had to do was put two and two together
But that just makes four, but not forever, damn
So much for being the perfect couple
I put in overtime, I was working doubles
I wish you the best, good luck boo
Weezy✦ F, for "Fuck you"
[Bridge: T-Pain]
No ain't nothing going on
Girl I'm moving✦ on, just take your ass home
Get away✦ from here girl, I'm so glad you're gone
This is the last song I'm writing for you
Now I see how you can be
I don't want you 'round me all you do is down me girl
How many✦ years I tried to get ya
Don't even✦ text my phone when it hit ya, cause girl you done taught me
[Chorus: T-Pain]
How to hate a bitch that owe you everything✦
At least a wedding✦ ring, moving✦ on to better✦ things
So don't you call me talking✦ bout them other✦ fools
I'm not good enough✦ for you, I thought that we was cool
If you need a shoulder✦ to cry on, girl I won't listen✦
I'm through fucking✦ with these bitch-ass✦ bitches✦

Critic Analysis

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I put in overtime, I was working doubles"

① The literal act of working extra hours at a job.② The metaphor for exerting double the emotional effort to save a failing relationship.

"Weezy F, for 'Fuck you'"

① The established 'Weezy F Baby' moniker.② The recontextualization of the 'F' as an abbreviation for a dismissive insult directed at the subject.

"put two and two together / But that just makes four"

① A common idiom meaning to deduce the truth of a situation.② A literal mathematical calculation used to highlight the futility of the partnership.

Consistent, rhythmic delivery that fits the song's mid-tempo bounce

Effective use of 'Weezy F' moniker as a pivot for a punchline

Coherent thematic progression from regret to indifference

Relies on relatively common breakup tropes

Lack of complex multi-layered entendres compared to peak-era Wayne

Simplified vocabulary usage
