A Little Different

For as long as I can remember I been a big dude

Defense mechanism it would help me get through

Cold like an Igloo on the exterior

But meanwhile on the interior I always felt inferior

Scarier times, walking dark streets after work

Spend a 9 to 5 harassed by a jerk

In a dress shirt while I’m making 5.75

Taking my spine , refuse to Let me get live

Overtime, thank god, just because of my size

Stick up kids wouldn’t try might’ve kept me alive

Yet ironically might be the reason Mike Brown died

Or Alton, Sterling’s fate he wasn’t deserving

Even size is weaponized these days I’m learning

Fire in the furnace, a lion undetermined

Can’t rule, and I don’t clue on how to know to fix it

We just see the world a little different....

Either you adapt to change or die with it

We just see the world a little different

Life is short, that’s the way you gotta live it

We just see the world a little different

They say a change gone come someday, where is it..

We just see the world a little different

The system is broken but who gone fix it

We just see the world a little different

I say a little prayer for the ones who ain’t here

Frankincense and Myrrh Put something put it in the air

Keep they names in my swears let me know I still care

When this world tried to knock me off my square

Know I only made it this far

Cause you was there

When I was a kid I raised my hand to ask a question

Now I raise my hands to show I ain’t pack in weapons

Touring foreign lands, now fans call us legends

Seeing hands in the air seeing facial expressions

My confession I be Fighting off depression

Cause it know it all could stop within a second

When I hear Em talk about the greats in this profession

Hoping that I get at least an honorable mention

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Cops Killing, Modern day lynching

1920, 2020

What’s the difference?

Either you adapt to change or die with it

We just see the world a little different

Life is short, that’s the way you gotta live it

We just see the world a little different

They say a change gone come someday, where is it..

We just see the world a little different

The system is broken but who gone fix it

We just see the world a little different
