[Intro]

This is a story of The Problem

The Problem is described in mythology as a nigga that ain't shit

But you just cannot just leave 'em alone

Legend says that there is a 99% chance you'll run into The Problem in your lifetime

And experts warn you to stay away

But they're gonna make it difficult

To help you identify The Problem, he may say something like this


[Chorus]

First time I saw you in your car, I knew you was a star

I want you in my arms, you the one for me

I didn't know that we'd be fighting, enticing gaslighting

I think we could have left it in a bеtter state, you see?


[Verse 1]

Let's start this from thе beginning (Yes)

You left a woman (Right), saying that she screwed you (She did)

And that she'll be damned if you accept the wrong dude

Because the only bad thing you did in the relationship was fuck her friend?

Yeah, I did it twice but the details aren't as important

As the fact that I was hurt real bad (Were you?)

Well, sort of, I mean

I was fucking with somebody new around a day after the breakup

I'm hoping we still make up

I think you're a ridiculous person

I deserve it, I think I've had a lot of growth

Okay, define growth

Well, I went from 6'2" to 6'3"

Traded in real love for some baddie

Yeah, I'm a piece of shit and I ain't happy


[Chorus]

First time I saw you in your car, I knew you was a star

I want you in my arms, you the one for me

I didn't know that we'd be fighting, enticing gaslighting

I think we could have left it in a better state, you see?

First time I saw you in your car, I knew you was a star

I want you in my arms, you the one for me

I didn't know that we'd be fighting, enticing gaslighting

I think we could have left it in a better state, you see?


[Verse 2]

I don't like you until 11 PM

And once I'm texting you, believe I'm texting all of your friends

Why can't I find love? (Could it be because you're toxic as fuck?)

Oh, so I'm toxic, because I cheated and I covered it up? (Yes)

Oh, so I'm toxic for getting with someone's spouse at the club (Yes)

You sound dumb, you got an Instagram story up

Boom, fire emoji, I'm the king of the swipe-up

Then puttin' phone down, I'm with your bestie, she mad as fuck (That sounds evil)

So be it, I'm crazy, I'll link with your sister and fuck with your ex

Come back the next day for some sex

Leave in the morning, that afternoon, don't be expecting no text

Trying to talk to me gon' make you feel stressed

I know I'm bad, but

I'm not the villain though

I'm not the villain though

But I'm damn sure I'm not the hero

Spider-Man, he's weird, yo

'Cause if I was him, I wouldn't let Gwen drop

Without a tear, bro


[Chorus]

First time I saw you in your car, I knew you was a star

I want you in my arms, you the one for me

I didn't know that we'd be fighting, enticing gaslighting

I think we could have left it in a better state, you see?

First time I saw you in your car, I knew you was a star

I want you in my arms, you the one for me

But I knew that I wasn't ready, I'm petty

I pop your heart like some confetti, said the right things, got you next to me


[Outro]

The Problem always gon' make you feel like you're the problem

But you ain't the problem, baby

You just date em'
