I don't usually look up/read into rap or hip hop lyrics, but this is different. The lyrics are really simple but do a really good job at putting together a complicated situation.
I feel like it's about a guy who is dating a girl.. and she hasn't really done anything to cause him to be jealous other than talk about her past. It drives him crazy because he feels like he can't really compare because everything he's doing has already been done.
The girl has probably been in a lot of relationships and knows the whole deal really well. He feels like "he is in crazy competition with the past" and there's nothing he can really do. He doesn't want to crumble and ask her about it, because then she won't see him as confident anymore.
It's a terrible situation to be in. I am a girl in that situation, my boyfriend has had these past long serious relationships, and I feel like they are brought up all the time. I wonder all the time if anything I'm doing it actually brand new to him. I feel like he's just going through the motions of dating someone and is used to it all.
