paroles de chanson Different - Aliyah

We ain′t that different
Saying we, ain't that different
Nah
You don′t gotta listen to people telling you where you fit in
You was born to glisten

Every time somebody go and ask me what I wanna be
I say please, I be pursuing my dreams
Listen to the melody
Got so many bars you think I commited a felony
Don't take heed of what anybody telling me
Take a seat and Imma be selling bih
So tight I'm bursting at the seams
Just doing me
This life′s a breeze
Don′t let it pass ya by

Lotta people don't wanna to listen
Lotta people just wanna give in, to society′s opinions of where they should fit in
Rather see it with tunnel vision
Rather see it 'fore we listen
Look
Everybody be asking for definition
Looking for any kind of recognition
They be asking like
They be asking like
Am I, Am I
Am I doing it right?
Am I wearing enough makeup?
My jeans tight enough?
My teeth white enough?
My skin light enough?
What about him?
Is his height enough?
Is he tough, is he strong?
What about them?
Are they right enough?
Are they matching up to what society telling us?
Sometimes I feel like they selling us ideas
See a picture of a model altered to look like a thought of how
We all wanna be somebody that we are not
I think we forgot who we are
When we bought idea that
We gotta be pretty, or we gotta be hot
He gotta be gritty, and they gotta be fought
All the kids are taught how to fit in a box

And they telling us we ain′t that different
Sayin we
Ain't that different
But you Don′t gotta listen
You wasn't born to fit in
You wasn't born to fit in

Just
Reach for the sky if you wanna grow
Shine bright if you wanna glow
Never let anybody bring you down
Rise up over the sounds of self doubt
You′re the only one of yourself around
Don′t let em bring you down
Betta stand your ground
You're the only one of yourself around
Don′t you ever let em change you, because
They ain't the ones who made you

All the kids are taught
How to fit in a box
Not big enough for them to grow into
And as soon as they know
They′re finally told
Where they need to go
Conforming's getting kinda old
Can′t grasp how they got a hold of us
How long they been controlling us
Molding us
Only to force us into shapes
That don't fit who we are
We driving our fast cars down a road, just loopin in a circle
Of a cycle in denial of ideas we're entitled
To be ourselves
Cos we ain′t seen that in awhile
Gonna photoshop a smile on a child with no home
Poke fun at the styles of the ones with no clothes
We spend more time on our cellphones
Livin in loopholes
We′d rather expose ourselves
They say we got holes in our system
They say we driftin
But what do I know about expectations

Just ain't livin no more
Ain′t givin no more
We done sold our souls
This whole thing's getting kinda old
I′m tired of doing what I'm told
Stop telling where Imma get
Imma do my best
Mindset where I wanna get
Face it with a whole lot of confidence
Ain′t nobody flawless
But believe in yourself and it'll pay off regardless
All you gotta do is

Talk how ya wanna talk
Walk how ya wanna walk
Don't stop ′til you wanna stop
If anybody says not, they done fell off
You on the way to the top
Betta work what you got
Don′t you eva stop
Don't you eva stop
Don′t you eva stop
This life's a breeze
Don′t let it pass ya by
Betta hype up them good vibes
Said you betta hype up them good vibes

Cos I'm
Tired of doing what I′m told
Conformings getting kinda old
This ain't origami, I don't fold
So fresh im ice cold, ain′t here to fit no mold
Priceless, can′t be controlled
Ain't nothing like this
Tyson in the ring when I sing
Bring it full circle, full swangin
Wheneva I do anything, gotta bring my everything
Comes from within
Believe in yourself
And you finna win
The wings you need to fly
Higher than your limits and past the sky
Keep your eyes wide set on the horizon
You can get past your verizon
Start realising that this real life
And this your fight
Set your sights higher than your limits
What you can do, ain′t nobody's business
Own your inner ambition
You wasn′t born to fit in
You was born to be different

It ain't about fitting in
Conformity is toxic
You got this
This is my destiny
This is the best in me
Let the lesson be
The freedom of individuality
I′m not about to let anybody else tell me who or how to be
Set yourself free
