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
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 nothing but thugs all in my videos
Can't help that I'm nothing but a street nigga
Dropped school and headed straight for the street, nigga
This for the homies on the blocks getting street cheddar
That like Maino, but Memphis Bleek's better
Jean said something gotta be wrong with me
Rappers in my own burough 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 gatproof
The ladies wanna know what's my excuse
For rhyming about how I bust guns and get crack loot
I'm different, I ain't down with nobody
I stand out, I don't sound like nobody
I'm different, I'mma show you what's good, love
If I don't go platinum, I'mma 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
They're saying I'm too hard for the industry
That's why they act like they wanna get rid of me
But yet and still I'mma 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'mma lead myself
I ain't gon' rap how they rap, I'mma be myself
You can't compare me to none of these rappers
Half of them lying and most of them actors
Tell you the truth without even bragging
The difference between me and these faggots
I'm different, I ain't down with nobody
I stand out, I don't sound like nobody
I'm different, I'mma show you what's good, love
If I don't go platinum, I'mma 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
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
I'm different, I ain't down with nobody
I stand out, I don't sound like nobody
I'm different, I'mma show you what's good, love
If I don't go platinum, I'mma 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
