Nothing Different (Prequel, Pt. 1)

I'd like to believe That my reputation precedes me I'd like to think that in these times The world needs me I'd like to convince myself My girl is pleased to be with me And I treat her right As the queen she ought To be treated like I look at all these niggas Fucking up good women And think "thank God I aint like that" I think how could they treat A diamond like a stone How could they go out And treat that gem like trash How could niggas cheat on Someone thats down for everything they are That's with you for the nothing that you have How could y'all watch the light Drain from such a superstar And be the reason that that constellation Turns into a black hole of Hatred for love How could y'all dog a good woman And turn her into the "bitch" You claim she is Why does it take her leaving Once and for all for you to see That she was the best you'll ever get And you'll keep replaying these fucked up Mistakes you made You see, Mother Nature will never let You forget Especially when you watch another man Treat her the way she should be treated You watch him replace you Put a genuine smile on her face Take your place in her bed All the while those same memories of you and her Is stuck on repeat in your head Having conversations with karma As she brutally repays you for what you did So I'd like to believe That my reputation precedes me I'd like to think Im good enough To be your boyfriend That I treat you as you should be treated I'd like to convince myself that im different From any of these so called "men" But I cant Because I know that in the end I'm no different from them
