I've used to wonder the same thing. The song is like him rapping pillow-talk to a chick (as usual) while incorporating names of other hiphop acts.. it's gotta have something to do with either chicks or rap. He calls her his pink cookie in one of the verses, so Imma guess the title is just referring to fresh honey-dips that are getting sexually pounded into oblivion.

that's my best guess too.. i didn't like that song.. LL shouldn't try to be abstract. is he trying to say he's like a building?

I still got A LOT to learn. I give thanks to my teachers and friends who had the passion (the realness) to spread the knowledge to me. I'm lucky to have them. All of this music shouldn't be kept hidden or locked away...

And on some side notes...

Mr. Gunther B has helped me quite a bit.

DJ Drez, Rob Life and Insult2Injury make some of the tightest mixes around. Listen to all of their mix tapes.
