Lyrics

Woah, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Friday night, I pull up to the crib, see flashing lights
Fo' I knock on the door I don't feel right
And I act like I don't know why, but I do
Yet I go inside and when I do
They all stare at me confused like
"Who invited you?"
I want to feel included
They all chugging booze
All the guy's hittin' on boos
All the shawty's lettin' loose
Man, the party going stupid
Right there and then, I should've left
Instead, I stood to hang out with my quote-on-quote friends
They was hittin' pens and sippin' Hen
When I came to them, they acted like we never met
So I went outside and I find the same thing
Everybody's got drinks in they hands
They all gettin' dirty when they dance
Some guy tries to offer me a can
Should I take a sip?
I just can't
Now everybody's blowin' smoke
They so gone from the hits, I call em' Roanoke
So many people at this party, yet I feel alone
That's when I finally see a shawty that I really know
I say "Hey, it's that girl that I like, maybe we can chat"
That's when she started dancing on some other guy's lap
I gazed at her eyes and she ain't feel bad
In fact, she looked at me and laughed
So I ran back inside the house, the music bumpin' loud
Then the beat drops, everybody's jumpin' now
Lotta' people passed out, lotta' people gassed out
I don't do what they do, so I feel cast out
I look all around me
Everyone's drunk inside this function
They all having fun with drugs and lust
Man, I feel like the only one that doesn't
I don't blend with my surroundings
Lotta people wasted, faded, naked
This place is filled with sex and fake friends
Bet the feds gon' come, a fight is breakin'
I just wanna be like them (yeah, yeah)
I just wanna be like them (woah, woah)
You gotta smoke and sip
You gotta have that drip
If you wanna be like them
I just wanna be like them (yeah, yeah)
I just wanna be like them (woah, woah)
You gotta smoke and sip
You gotta have that drip
If you wanna be like them
Huh huh bruh it's fine
You can get faded all week, faded all weekend
Drink till' I pass out
And then go hit a girl after that, right?
You only live once right?
He he he he
Nah fam, I ain't bout' that life
Yeah, take it back to 6th grade
I didn't know how to dress
Didn't spoke like the rest
I was lookin' so misplaced
Man, I barely had any friends
Other kids prolly said
"I think Jonathan's gay"
Cause' I used to kick it with girls
Didn't fit in this world
They would judge all my mistakes
Let em' dictate who I was
They said I wasn't cool enough
So I changed the way I behaved
Changed what I wore and I swore
To gain more attention
Had to compromise to blend in
And yes I did gain a few new peers but still got rejected
Maybe cause' they knew I never went to functions
Or did drugs, or got drunk and
Even if I did it wouldn't fit me
I'd be lookin' really stupid gettin' trippy on a sippy
Plus, I've never been a tough guy
If I tried they'd say this guy's got a disguise
He ain't really bout' that thug life
Everyone that knows me knows Jonathan's nice
The price I paid for pride was shame
Became just like the minds I tried to change
That's why I came to the realization
That even if nobody wanna change
I gotta be the guy that makes the difference
It just clicked, that as hard as I tried
Wouldn't fit in with these cliques
I-I-I've always been this outsider, outlier
Didn't fit in with the crowds
Neither did I ever walk the walk or talk the talk
They said I was an odd and awkward kid
To this day, to be honest I don't thinks that's changed a bit
I'm not a rich kid, not a poser
Not a pretty boy or a smoker
Yeah, I'm not a hype beast, not a gangster
I am not of this world
I am a stranger
And I know I ain't perfect, ain't gonna act like I'm innocent
I know every person is in a sin
If I judge and condemn everybody, then I would be a hypocrite
Now lemme finish this
To anybody listening, believe me when I tell you
There's no benefit in fitting in
Yeah, that's coming from somebody who witnessed it
But of course, the choice is yours
As for me, I will not conform
I will live for the Lord, yes life is a war
But I'll fight till' I get my reward, I'm gone!
Yeah, boy that's who I am
Yeah, boy that's who I am
Ay, from the AM to the PM
That's who I am, yeah
Yeah, boy that's who I am
Yeah, boy that's who I am
Ay, from the AM to the PM
That's who I am
Took a long time to realize that I was never like them
And I don't wanna be like them
I'm not of this world
I'm a stranger
