      not just black men all men. boys feel to be a men you must have multiple women but this video is amazing
      0:07 blue light = his mood even
      0:19 watch = he ran out of time
      0:25 putting away his liquor implying he's getting drunk af
      Bambi is a dear who learned how to live in the wilderness/jungle after its mother died.
      she had to learn how to move on after her heart was broken
      Spider Web of mines = he stuck in his ways
      And he was design to be a hoe saying it's in his DNA cause his grandfather had 7 wives
      He believes to be a king/boss man he has to be a lion (liar) or cheetah (cheater)
      he also warns her of
      Lions (liars) cheetah (cheaters) like him cause he doesn't want to see her hurt.
      He's wedding ready dressed in all white
      1:15 he's running againt time
      1:38 perhaps that's her car which is why they show a clip from his memory of her on the windshield
      1:52 he's running opposite direction of the ladies represents he's only wants Bambi and not these hoes
      3:00 he arrived too late
      3:45 is the upgraded version of the car 1:38
      At 3:50 she's drives off the same time he had on his watch @ 0:29
