paroles de chanson Just to Be Different - Joe Budden

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 (look, look, look)

See, I don't trust no one
So stubborn, I could dream a thousand paths, wake-up an' walk a ol' one
An' I follow wherever it take me
Instead of wherever the crew go like Traylee
They see distinguished
I see a nigga erasin' that fine line between crazy an' genius

Got the jewels out, see 'em on my Colorado shit
I'd rather put the suit on an' not follow it
Ay'thing is perception, ay'thing is deception
When niggas fuck wit' 'em 'cause I be the exception

I got a warm reception way before any song hit
I think too outside of the box to be cornered
Too real to be fickle
Grounded, but too fly to meet a nigga in the middle
Too big to be belittled

Wise way beyond my years
Here's the motto of a manchild
Why try to fit in when you a standout?

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 (look, oh yeah)
I wonder if the things I did were just to be different (look)

They said I had to make music that would have the kids feinin'
Screamin', make nuttin' wit' a meanin'
I ain't know the meanin'
They told me "Go Hollywood"
For a split-second thought I prolly' could
But polleed on, would I be understood?

Tol' me "Even if you not able to cop cable
Anytime you hit the club, you better have a table"
Tol' me they would take me out my worse
Tol' me "Image is e'ything"
Tol' 'em I'd obey my thirst

Tol' me "Do what you gotta or what you on
Hit the scene, make it rain"
I told 'em I'm already in the storm
Ay'thing's in an uproar
They tol' me front, I said what for?
Said it again, I said "Fuck y'all"

I won't succumb to all the stereotypes
Won't sacrifice me for what the stereo hypes
They tol' me "Get in where you fit in
This is what's in demand now"
Tol 'em "Why try to fit in when you a stand out?"

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

I understand some's off 'bout me, but nuttin's forced 'bout me
I never gave a fuck of what a nigga thought 'bout me
I look down upon what some see as a must
Maybe I'm regular an' the world needs to adjust

I mean I'm everyday people, hood, but still formal
I'm normally abnormal, takin' life as a lesson
I'll leave the past in the past, tomorrow's not promised
An' today's just a gift, I guess that's why it's the present

Did I outgrow me, or shit just didn't stick?
The baggier my jeans, the more shit didn't fit
Didn't quit, inspired by hate, even while homeless
When you a star you already down wit' The Joneses

My thoughts out loud
Sometimes if the leader walks slow enough
He fuck aroun' get lost in the crowd
But he ain't gotta speed up, ay'thing'll plan out
'Cause they'll spot you from far when you a standout

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

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
