Statik Selektah, M.O.P., Cormega - It's Different Lyrics

Statik Selektah

Never catch me stylin' with a lot of people
Cause if you move the way they talk behind your back
You stop smiling with a lot of people
There's nothing I condone (so what you do?)
I learned how to walk up outta them dark tunnels alone
I love being a great
It's fucked up how people get judged for being real and love for being fake
And no I'm not a yes man
Cause if you knew how quick they forget the dead
You'd probably stop living to impress them
Fuck a blue check
I'm something different fam, I was valid and certified before Instagram
And you don't take care of your young'ins fuck is with you fam
You fuckin' on a thot, you threw that bitch a grand
Started stuntin' on the block, turned to a different man
Them chuck boys on you now you caught up in a jam
Whatever happened to them people you was ballin' for
Guess who we came back callin' for

It's different
It's different

I'm a product of King's County, born with a bounty on my head
To a psycho who's like me to drown me with lead
Surround me with kings instead of vultures
That'll do anything for bling and take up my culture
I mean
How many more losses can we take
Cause you ain't got the heart to have faith
Wasted years, soaked it in fear
Chokin' as the town cheer for the hero
Mad cause your drive is on zero (what you do?)
Become the reason for the mural on the wall
So his kid can see everybody loved him but you
This what it came to be, bloodstain the street
No connection, disconnected where the angles meet
You ain't Big Meech, you ain't Larry Hoover
We honor the memory of Tookie, what you out here provin'
The money game don't let the felons in
You devalue the melanin
You the winner at losing

It's different
It's different

I acquired distance from plotters, liars, and snitches
This foul trinity breeds compromising positions
Bars I write are prolific in every sense of the word
As all the lines with rhythm and reminds the listener, I'm different
I ascended an era where many invested in substance from Colombia with economic stimulus
Your detrimental revenue used to purchase weapons
Eventually claimed lives of beloved that were cherished
Honor the dead and living who didn't bow to the Feds
Everything you been through is essential to get to new heights
Remember the lowest points that broke you
What don't kill you makes you stronger even if it takes longer, be patient
Today is yesterday tomorrow pay it back to the creator
Every day is borrowed
Live in the moment don't limit yourself
Merely existing, time is money, that's infinite wealth

It's different
It's different
