it absolutely does! i mean, answering 'irreplaceable' is the entire basis of the song: "to the left, to the left / if you wanna leave, be my guest, you can step / feelin' irreplaceable, listenin' to beyoncé / but ok, i'll put you out on your b'day"

and then obv we lead into trina jacking one of wayne's songs and saying "he's a beast, he's a dog, he's a to-the-left problem", which fits into the whole narrative of trina/wayne answer records over the past couple of years. wheels within wheels
