I'm Different Lyrics

I don't rap for the image

I'm just speaking my mind

Dollar signs ain't the reason

That I'm writing my rhymes

People change like the seasons

Watch them fall as I climb

There's a reason why I'm breathing

I ain't wasting my time

I don't rap for the image

I'm just speaking my mind

Dollar signs ain't the reason

That I'm writing my rhymes

People change like the seasons

Watch them fall as I climb

There's a reason why I'm breathing

I ain't wasting my time

You see we're often reprimanded

When we think outside the box

Time to write some new commandments

I be preaching on the aux

I guess I got an older soul

Be writing speeches as I talk

Time to reach my full potential

Took my time I had to walk

Get respect when you demand it

Shout out Herbo, He a boss

Life is rather influential

Gotta learn from every loss

Got my pad, I got my pencil

Reaching high like Randy Moss

In my city when you stranded

Make a bridge and walk across

Yall on the edge of being lost

Like a car with no exhaust

Make a whole lot of noise

Until it's time to pay the cost

It takes a whole lost of poise

To make this heat and not dissolve

I just evolve to beat the odds

I'm standing tall like Dennis Rodman

Scottie Pippen, Leave them tripping

If they thought that I was frauding

I be balling, Michael Jordan

Niggas foul, but I don't call it

Don't be calling when I'm touring

I'll assume that niggas plotting

On yo' TV, You gon' see me

Taking risks while you all just watching

I don't rap for the image

I'm just speaking my mind

Dollar signs ain't the reason

That I'm writing my rhymes

People change like the seasons

Watch them fall as I climb

There's a reason why I'm breathing

I ain't wasting my time

I don't rap for the image

I'm just speaking my mind

Dollar signs ain't the reason

That I'm writing my rhymes

People change like the seasons

Watch them fall as I climb

There's a reason why I'm breathing

I ain't wasting my time

No pit stops, I'm never stopping

Yall gon' tweak whoever popping

Must be high, No Obi Toppin

Be unique, My only option

Man I'm made for this shit

You see I'm lyrically rich

Never show the world your money

You'll make haters exist

I don't think you'll find it funny

When you spiritually lift

That's a trip that you ain't plan

A couple bands got you zipped

I ain't plan on leaving college

But I'm glad that I did

Understand I got some knowledge

That can keep me ahead

Always knew that I was different

Was no regular kid

Saw the world for what it was

While my peers were misled

Seen all the people that bled

I saw my people in pain

Some niggas mentally chained

Our mothers physically drained

They'll try to tell you that it's normal

So you grow up the same

Always knew that life was strange

I shield my mind through the game

I treat knowledge like a currency

I'm currently collecting it

Don't disrespect my intellect

Cause you'll regret in retrospect
