| I feel like there is no need for conversation
|
| I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
|
| I would rather reveal myself than my situation
|
| I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
|
| (Going… going… gone)
|
| Look, look, look…
|
| See, I don’t trus’no one (talk to 'em)
|
| So stubborn —
|
| I could dream a thousand paths, wake-up an’walk a ol’one.
|
| (Why?) An’I follow wherever it take me Insteada’wherever the crew go like Traylee.
|
| They see distinguished
|
| I see a nigga erasin’that fine line between crazy an’genius.
|
| Got the jewels out, see 'em on my Colorado shit (but…)
|
| I’d rather put the suit on an’not follow it. |
| (Look)
|
| Ay’thing is perception, (I mean…) ay’thing is deception (but…)
|
| When niggas fuck wit''em 'cause I be the exception
|
| (Look) I got a warm reception way before any song hit
|
| I think too outside of the box ta’be cornered
|
| (I'm) Too real ta’be fickle
|
| Grounded, but too fly ta’meet a nigga in the middle
|
| Too big ta’be belittled.
|
| Wise way beyond my years, here’s the motto of a manchild:
|
| Why try ta’fit in when you a standout?
|
| I feel like there is no need for conversation
|
| I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
|
| I would rather reveal myself than my situation
|
| I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
|
| Uh, you in that mood yet?
|
| Why not?
|
| Look…
|
| They said I had ta’make music that would have the kids feinin'
|
| Screamin', make nuttin’wit’a meanin'
|
| (But.) I ain’t know the meanin'.
|
| They told me go Hollywood
|
| For a split-second thought I prolly’could
|
| But pollee on, would I be understood?
|
| Tol’me even if you not able ta’cop cable
|
| Ay’time you hit the club you better have a table.
|
| Tol’me they would take me out my worse
|
| Tol’me «image is everything»
|
| (So I…) Tol''em I’d obey my thirst (whoa!)
|
| Tol’me do what’chu gotta or what’chu on Hit the scene, make it rain —
|
| I told 'em I’m already in the storm.
|
| Ay’thing’s in an uproar (whoa)
|
| They tol’me front, I said what for? |
| (I mean whoa)
|
| Said it again, I said, fuck y’all!
|
| I won’t succumb to all the stereotypes
|
| Won’t sacrifice me for what the stereo hypes.
|
| They tol’me get in where you fit in —
|
| This is what’s in demand now
|
| (So I…) Tol 'em why try ta’fit in when you a stand out?
|
| I feel like there is no need for conversation
|
| I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
|
| I would rather reveal myself than my situation
|
| I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
|
| Naw’mean?
|
| Yo…
|
| I understand some’s off 'bout me, but nuttin’s forced 'bout me I never gave a fuck of what a nigga thought 'bout me.
|
| (Oh!) I look down upon what some see as a must
|
| Maybe I’m regular an’the World needs to adjust.
|
| I mean I’m everyday people, hood, but still formal
|
| I’m normally abnormal, takin’life as a lesson.
|
| I’ll leave the past in the past, Tomorrow’s not promised
|
| An’Today’s just a gift, I guess that’s why it’s the present.
|
| Did I outgrow me or shit jus’didn’t stick
|
| The baggier my jeans, the more shit didn’t fit.
|
| (But I!) Didn’t quit, inspired by hate, even wit’homeless
|
| When you a star you already down wit’The Joneses.
|
| My thoughts outloud — (I mean…)
|
| Sometimes if the leader walks slow enough, he fuck aroun’gets lost in the crowd
|
| But he ain’t gotta speed-up, ay’thing’ll plan out (why?)
|
| 'Cause they’ll spot’chu from far when you a standout.
|
| I feel like there is no need for conversation
|
| I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
|
| I would rather reveal myself than my situation
