One of her best songs - I always thought it was a retrospective of the narrative she relays on Yayo, in some ways. Several lyrical parallels indicate this to me -

 

Yayo: “Put me onto your black motorcycle”

Guns and Roses: “Motorcycle love divine”

 

Yayo: “50s baby doll dress for my I do

Guns and Roses: “I wasn’t the marrying kind, I should’ve done it anyway”

 

Yayo: “It only takes two hours to Nevada”

Guns and Roses: “We should’ve left Las Vegas” 


LOVE when she makes thematically continuous but subtle references between songs - it is so conducive to the “grand narrative” of LDR.
