“Difference (Interlude)” by XXXTentacion
On the song “Difference (Interlude)” the late rapper XXXTentacion is directly addressing the woman dear to his heart. X, who is apparently deeply in love with her, tells her how much she means to him. He tells her he wants to show her things and buy her things. He even goes as far as saying he could buy her “wedding rings”. Obviously he wants to do these beautiful things just to show her how much he treasures her.
But there’s a slight problem. It appears their relationship has a challenge. And what’s this challenge? It’s simply the cruel distance between them.
But X appears not to be bothered about the distance. He believes the distance can’t negatively harm his love for her. The distance might separate him from her. However, it can’t change the way he feels about her and what he wants to do for her.
The line “I’ll be different”, which appears twice in the song, might mean X was initially not treating her very well. However, he’s telling her now that he’s going to be different and treat her well.
Many believe that the girl X is addressing in the lyrics is none other than his girlfriend Jenesis Sanchez. At the time of X’s tragic murder in June 2018, Jenesis was carrying X’s unborn child named Gekyume.
Below is a rare image of XXXTentacion and Jenesis Sanchez. The picture was taken not long before X was murdered.
