Built Different

(album: I Know What You're Thinking... - 2021)

(Yeah, uh)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ey)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And the gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different

Yaow, and when it all falls down, I'll be standing here
No smoking mirror, see my image when the panic clear
I had to face 'em, I erased all of my damage
My family and my homies know the boy that been the man for years (yeah)
Respect what I demand from peers
Wipe my tears, now I'm shining like a chandelier
And [?]
They ask me what I'm 'bout to do when I already planned a year (Yo)
I'm the definition of grind, definition of work, definition of mind power and I bloom like a flower soon as I rise
I ain't need to watch I could tell that it was my time
It's valuable, my morals ain't [?], I remind
Did it without a label, I'm counting these dollar signs
Without signing doubted lines, I'm not even in my prime
Focusing on the future, no need to look what's behind
I'm saying

(Yeah, uh)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ey)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And the gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different

Yeah, you should never ever feel like you're the smartest in the room
Small circle, chosen few, disregarded all the crew
It was stagnant, and they match it, latching on to how I move
I wasn't benefiting, I should have never wanted more than you
And that's hard to do
'Cuz growth occurs out of your comfort zone
Like when you go off to college and leave your mother's home
I'm just tryna do something that's never done before
To help some people out, I ain't tripping off off no demo war
I'm here with all my people, like the movies and the sequels
When you have the stance I promise, I'm the goat we never equal
And the house is made of glass, all this cash is looking see-through
The flow is lethal, I take shots and I thread the needle
I'll pistol pete you
Steve Nash off of the screen move
Lead a horse to water, but you can not make it drink too
Teach you how to fish, catch a fish and then I feed you
I hope you get the difference, and you see the shit that we do
I'm saying

(Yeah, uh)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ey)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And the gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different

I consider the competition is non-existent
People say I'm different, a unicorn of sorts
A walking contradiction, tell me how you judging me, you got no pot to piss in
I guess it's some type of condition, 'cuz I clearly see the ears up on your head, but you still have to listen, thinking you better that's silly, tell me who is you kidding
You say with your religion, hate I'm in this position, but it was bound to happen, like that fff glued to your head, the way you capping for 'em, making magic like it's the 80s we still down the floor
Had to go in the 9 to 5, just to keep you warm
They saying that life is too short, settle down get yourself a [?]
You catch me out on the island, I'm isolated
Never been the kind of type to search for the validation
Appreciate the concern, I guess I'll live and learn
Never wanted to build back a bridge, I went and burn
I'm saying

(Yeah, uh)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ey)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And the gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different
