I’m Different (2007)

Lyrics

[Intro] They tell me I ain't smooth as Fab or cool as Jay-Z I try to be calm, but that just ain't me I'm too wild, man, that's what they told me But not as hard as M.O.P., see [Verse 1] I went to jail, came back with a witty flow They say I'm nice but I ain't no Biggie, yo But the plan is to lock down the city, though With nothin' but thugs all in my videos Can't help that I'm nothin' but a street nigga Dropped school and headed straight for the street, nigga This for the homies on the blocks gettin' street cheddar That like Maino, but think Memph Bleek's better Jean said somethin' gotta be wrong with me Rappers in my own Borough don't get along with me That's aight, all I need is my dogs with me It hurt when AZ wouldn't do a song with me Niggas in the hood wanna know if I'm that loose I move with my chest poked out like I'm gat-proof The ladies wanna know what's my excuse For rhymin' about how I bust guns and get crack loot [Chorus] I'm different, I ain't down with nobody I stand out, I don't sound like nobody I'm different, I'ma show you what's good, love If I don't go platinum, I'ma still get hood love I'm different 'cause I does what I want to Act how I wanna act, say what I want to I'm different, ain't another one like me I ain't like none of them and none of them like me [Verse 2] They sayin' I'm too hard for the industry That's why they act like they wanna get rid of me But yet and still I'ma rep for Brooklyn I'm the real thing, dog, I get respect in Brooklyn Had to start from the bottom, it was hell in Brooklyn Had to man up, so I popped steel in Brooklyn Made sales, went to jail in Brooklyn Did a bid, came home and I'm still in Brooklyn You ain't gotta share, I can feed myself I ain't gotta watch them, I can see myself Man, I came here alone, I'ma lead myself I ain't gon' rap how they rap, I'ma be myself You can't compare me to none of these rappers Half of them lyin' and most of them actors Tell you the truth without even braggin' The difference between me and these faggots [Chorus] I'm different, I ain't down with nobody I stand out, I don't sound like nobody I'm different, I'ma show you what's good, love If I don't go platinum, I'ma still get hood love I'm different 'cause I does what I want to Act how I wanna act, say what I want to I'm different, ain't another one like me I ain't like none of them and none of them like me [Verse 3] I ain't got shit in common with these rappers, I'm not them The closest he been around weight was a gym But the niggas in the hood? I'm just like them I hustle hard, look in my face, I'm scarred like them I'm sorry I'm not your favorite emcee I'm just a thug that knows how to emcee I'm not the nigga on your MTV And fuck what he acts like, he ain't me [Chorus] I'm different, I ain't down with nobody I stand out, I don't sound like nobody I'm different, I'ma show you what's good, love If I don't go platinum, I'ma still get hood love I'm different 'cause I does what I want to Act how I wanna act, say what I want to I'm different, ain't another one like me I ain't like none of them and none of them like me
