A Beast With Beauty

Yeah, look
And my perception is you was a good girl, a lovely girl, a beauty
But they all seen a beast within, a pretty figure, truly
You weren't the worst, but you had moments worthy for a groupie
I tell y'all more about the story of a beast with beauty

She was a light with no darkness in sight
Innocent lover wasn't capable of carryin' a lies
Never did wrong or had intent of wishin' you no ill will
But I still got more of the story to relate to y'all still

Always she was, never she is
And all the things she became
Why do we glorify the good
When all the worst comes undone?
I never wanted to forgive
I just felt bad at the time
Because if I don't know, nigga
Would that make me feel less of one?

My isolation won't exempt me
Her heart too cold, too empty
That thing that beats, that beauty
Would change within the time
That I said you won't be mine

What's worse than drugs is love
What's worse than crows is dove
What's worse than hate is love
The irony is
We would all preach we wanted love

That's all that matter
Then it hurts us
And we take a break
And say it made us better
Then we tell all of our friends
Our bad advice we recommend
And then get back with the same piece
And get hurt all over again

Yeah, look
And my perception is you was a good girl, a lovely girl of beauty
But they all seen the beast within, a pretty figure, truly
You weren't the worst, but you had moments worthy for a groupie
I tell y'all more about the story of a beast with beauty

Always she was, never she is
Of all the things she became
Why do we glorify the good
When all the worst comes undone?
I never wanted to forgive
I just felt bad at the time
'Cause if I don't know, nigga
Would it make me feel less of one?
