I'm Different

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
