I Don't Wanna Be Like You

I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
Blow up in year 1, fall off in year 2 (ooh)
I don't really wanna be like you
Because your songs are only long enough to be a haiku, (ooh)
I don't really wanna be like you
Call this Louisianna rap cause its bout to be Bayou (whoo)

Take a second a listen to what I'm spitting
I'm not disrespecting you but I'm a dude that is intending
On making it in the business my way or until I'm finished
No way will I take your gimmicks, they lame and full of stupidness
I'll rid this industry of kids that think that the way to bigness
Is addictive liquids and getting lit til you're faded and sick
It sickening witnessing all these bitches they distancing
Rap from it's roots, it's no longer smooth, like they don't use conditioning

Tell me dude, why the fuck would I wanna be like you?
You the type of dude to sell his car just to buy fuel
You the type of dude to sell his house to pay rent when its due
And plus I kinda like knowing the answer to 2 plus 2 (ooh)

I'm in my groove and I'm about to spaz in this booth
A couple of critics they wanna be bitching about me lashing at you
But they don't be getting it because I am kidding and I'm just laughing at you
Even if it's simple and ignorant it's the type of rap that you choose

But who am I to judge? I'm a guy who loves to rap fast with my iron lungs
And people think that don't take skill but I know that it does
The clarity that I gauruntee is very rare when paired with speed
But apparently, I'm barely good enough to rap terribly
And that's your opinion
I don't take it to heart like I'm the Tin man
But don't bitch to me about my taste
Cause that is condracting
I don't like the mumble
You don't like the fast shit
We both understand rap
But we just took different classes
And I passed it
I was taught by the greats and the classics
You were taught by the fake Wayne's who like fashion
I was raised on Dre and Curtis Jackson
Where tracklists lasted longer than an episode of "All That" (Bitch)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not shitting on the things that you do
And if you think I am it's prolly cause your foot fits the shoe
I'm just saying, I DON'T REALLY WANNA BE LIKE YOU
I'd rather have some lyrical substance than substance abuse
Cause I don't need all these hoes, I only want one boo
And I don't want a multi-million dollar prada jump suite
Life is more than just some guap and commas
I'ma about to drop some knowledge
I ain't gotta stack my wallets just to have a life I'm fond of
And people will say that I'm hating but I'm just stating what you do
And what you do is negative and that's the positive truth
I'd rather make my music strong and filled messages to use
Than be like you and make weak shit that can't even carry a tune

I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
I said bitch I don't really wanna be like you

And I don't really wanna be like you,
I got a couple different things on my plate to prove
And I don't really wanna be like you,
I'd rather die no lie than do the things that you do

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like, be like
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like, be like
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like, be like
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
