He is thinking about what his next girlfriend is going to be like/how different she will be from his previous one.
This is a good summary to the song, as it resembles the theme of the song, as well as summing up the story, and showing that the author has undergone some character growth.
This is shown because he is done pining over the previous girl, and started thinking about the next.

Simply because the cake looks appealing does not necessarily mean the cake also tastes good. In this case the cake is a female.

Also may allude to the old adage “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” which means you can’t always have both of the things you want.

The “having your cake and eating it too” could also tie in with this relationship being an affair, by having it both ways.

“Carter Trey” refers to Tha Carter III album that this song was possibly intended to be on. Or Weezy was just promoting his upcoming album.

“Ye” is Weezy’s shoutout to the the track’s producer Kanye West. West produced “Comfortable” and “Let the Beat Build” on the actual Carter III album.

The man is feeling very emotional because he knocked a girl up. He wants to keep his distance because he feels like his options are very limited now… not to mention they’re both really young.

The title of the song “Lost Ones” not only refers to the children of abortion that are forever lost, but also to the people involved who are lost themselves as far what decision to make and what will happen with their future.

Cole also shams today’s society by bringing out how the youth usually act out being “in the moment” without thoroughly examining the entire situation.
