From the recording I'm Not Like You
Lyrics
I’m Not Like You
(Energetically)
Yeah.
I’m not like you,
I don’t gotta prove myself to you,
If you don’t like me, there’s other rooms
I don’t care if you paid $50 for a ticket to my show
Heard one song
Then thought, “Man, I don’t know about this
He be talking about all of the same shit NF said
All he ever does is complain, cry and whine
‘Bout the same shit.” You don’t know shit about my life, man!
Yeah, I got a weird personality,
It ain’t like I ain’t never had sex,
Yes, I’m a nerd bitch,
I don’t like to fuck around with conflict,
If I think I’m able, I’ll stop it,
Yeah, I like to walk around downtown Tucson bars and
Wearing lime green
Like I’m wearin’ black, why you think
I do that?
So I'll end up famous? Screw that.
I just wanna do it cuz I knew
That it’d make you uncomfortable
Everybody telling me I gotta
Write rhymes like my peers
And I need to appeal to the masses
(You say: “Asses.”)
Do you really think I give a fuck
If everybody loved me for all that shit?
Nah bitch.
I bet you would never think that a man like me
Could spit it so damn batshit
How a corny ass white 21 year old so savage?
(Cuz I ain't settling for average)
Let’s cut to the facts.
I don’t gotta know every goddamn thing about rap
To fit in with the style they write with.
I don’t care if you don’t like it.
I just write my shit,
Help myself cope with depression
I don’t fire guns, I don’t wanna rape blonde bitches
I don’t wanna write another song
About fucking and drinking
And snorting and smoking and preaching,
I graduated high school,
Play a lot of games like Minecraft,
Hate me cuz I like that,
I’m not like all these other rappers in the game,
I don’t care about fame,
I don’t care about who knows my name,
And I’m not a thug,
I don’t got tats on my pecs saying gangsta,
I don’t like gambling,
I don’t like parties, I’m terrible in crowds,
With the music so loud that I’m gonna fuckin seize up!!
But it ain’t like I don’t know nothin,
I done shit I ain’t proud of
I like drinking and fucking
And weed, I just don’t write a song
Rapping bout it cuz I know I don’t need it.
I don’t have to feel like
My music has to impress you?
Y'all fuckers think that it’s best to
Write a couple songs that will sell
With the market?
That’s what Bieber, Swift and Mars did
I don’t wanna start that,
All that shit is garbage
Look at all the carnage
Cuz I said Mars is hot shit.
Cabbage bein thrown onstage,
Cuz I fuckin told you
(Patronizingly sad; "crybaby":)
I don’t care if my music sold you.
Man, I been listenin to Eminem
For like 10 years
That don’t mean I gotta sound like him.
I guess y'all think anyone who's like him
Can't inspire me to write what I'm writing!
And I’m not ghetto, I’m not a badass,
I’m just a scrawny bit of white trash
Guess what, I like that.
I don’t wanna sound bad, I just wanna be myself
I don’t care if you’re laughin’
Laugh then, watch this,
I’m about to blow the world away with my music
Record labels comin’ for my new hits
Like I’m doin’ shmups I’m a shoot a bitch
I’m an independent and (Voice lowered gradually, synthetically:) I know they wanna use it…
You like that effect?
Everybody else does em
What the fuck makes me special?
I'll tell you.
I tell truth, slam lies,
Make sure you can understand every word
In my track's lines
Then if it backfires
I just lay back in my damn chair,
Watchin’ y'all yelling at me down there
Sippin’ on my coffee
Then I spit it out cuz I fucking hate COFFEE!
I just admitted to a hundred thousand people
I do things that a nerd does.
Look at how long it was
Think I care about how you thought it was?
Picture me as Spartacus,
Kicking thirty rappers in the yard at once.
Man imagine that. I will not be what you want, fuckers,
I don't wanna do this to be glamorous,
I just wanna write about my hardships,
Hoping there are others, crying, dealing with the same hard shit!
(Softly)
I don't do drugs,
I don't smoke cigs,
I hate country,
I don't mumble,
I don't go to bars
Just to get drunk,
I am a pacifist,
Don't mean you can push me
I don't wanna hit you,
But I will if I have to.
Shouldn't even do this.
Why don't you accept me
Even though I'm strange?
Just cuz I don't kill people
Don't mean I'm deranged,
Thinking I can make it
In this stupid goddamn rap game!
(Energetically)
Man, I don't wanna be like you
With the clownlike jewels
And the pants goin’ droop
I'm annoying cuz I'm flamboyant
Eyes toward me like I did a heist
Last morning in fast forward
I know that I'm not a treat for the eyes
I'm a highlighter lightening the game
With bright lines
Lime, yellow, blue doesn't matter what color
I'm still better than you, cuz you're that much duller
Lemme make one thing clear, motherfucker
If you got an issue with me, don’t utter it.
You will never understand half of what I been through
And I'm sinful with a pencil, and I meant what I said, I went there
Buddy I don't gotta write a bajillion songs
To go for the million
Talking about how you're sucking my dick and I'm drinking and flirting
Everybody else's tracks tend to have twelve stanzas
But in this song, I wrote thirteen.
