Let me preface this by saying that any reference to or cover of Lil Wayne is going to get a thumbs up from me, but this Matty B How to Love parody is so cute, it's on an entirely different level from anything else I've seen. The 8-year-old rapper has done a ton of [parodies of popular songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mashapp-music), including hits by Jason Derulo, Kesha and Beyonce, but the Matty B How to Love parody is probably his best work.

Rather than the serious, tortured love song that Lil Wayne released the song as, Matty B changes the lyrics entirely, turning the ballad into a song about, well, paper airplanes. Some of the adorable lyrics include, "The other day I was at the store when it caught my eye. See I'm a lover of any toy that says it can fly. I let my momma keep my wallet cause I love to buy. But I just begged I gotta have it, this was ultra fly."

Do yourself a favor and enjoy the Matty B How to Love video. You won't regret it.
