Just to Be Different lyrics

by

Joell Ortiz


[Hook: sample of "Burning Bright" by Shinedown]
I feel like there is no need for, conversation
I wonder if the things I did were just, to be different
I would rather reveal myself than my, situation
I wonder if the things I did were just, to be different

[Joe Budden]
See I don't trust no one (talk to 'em)
So stubborn I could dream a thousand paths, wake up and walk a old one
(Why?) And I follow wherever it take me
Instead of wherever the crew go like Tray Lee
They see distinguished
I see a n*gga erasing that fine line between crazy and genius
Got the jewels out, see I'm on my Colorado sh*t (but)
I'd rather put the suit on and not follow it (look)
Everything is perception (I mean) everything is deception (but)
But n*ggas f*ck with him cause I be the exception (look)
I got a warm reception way before any song hit
I think too outside of the box to be cornered
I'm too real to be fickle
Grounded but too fly to meet a n*gga in the middle, too big to be belittled
Wise way beyond my years, here's the motto of a man-child (what?)
Why try to fit in when you a standout?

[Hook]
[Joe Budden]
Uhh, you in that mood yet? Why not?

[Verse 2]
Look, they said I had to make music that would have the kids fiending, screaming
Make nothing with a meaning, (but) I ain't know the meaning (ohh!)
They told him go Hollywood
For a split second thought I probably could (but)
But parlayed on, would I be understood?
They told me even if you not, able to cop cable
Anytime you hit the club you better have a table
Told me they would take me at my worst
Told me image is everything, so I told 'em I'd obey my thirst (whoa!)
Told me do what you gotta once you on
Hit the scene, make it rain, I told 'em I'm already in the storm
Everything's in a uproar (whoa)
They told me front, I said "What for?" (I mean whoa)
Said it again, I said "f*ck y'all!"
I won't succ*mb to all the stereotypes
Won't sacrifice me for what the stereo hypes
They told me get in where you fit in, this is what's in demand now
So I told em why try to fit in when you a standout?

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I understand something's off about me (but) but nothing's forced bout me
I never gave a f*ck of what a n*gga thought about me
I look down upon what some see as a must
Maybe I'm regular and the world needs to adjust
I mean I'm everyday people hood but still formal
I'm normally abnormal, taking life as a lesson
I'll leave the past in the past, tomorrow's not promised
And today's just a gift, I guess that's why it's the present
Did I outgrow me, or sh*t just didn't stick?
The baggier my jeans, the more sh*t didn't fit
(But I) Didn't quit, inspired by hate, even with homeless
When you a star you already down with the Joneses
My thoughts out loud (I mean)
Sometimes if the leader walk slow enough, he f*ck around get lost in the crowd (but)
But he ain't gotta speed up, everything will pan out
(Why?) 'Cause they'll spot you from far when you a standout
[Hook x2]
