chorus they laugh at me cause i m different i laugh at them cause they re not i got to follow something that s different something most ain t got different clothes different flows different song plays different toes different nose different always different i m everything you ain t the same canvas usin different paint we see things different we do things different we say things different we chase things different we place things different our race seems different but when it s said and done yo we ain t that different we all got things that are hidden in the closet we all got pain and the same thing cause it the spirit is willin but the flesh still flaws it we re all dealt hands and the man that draws it get the shortest straw hey look at all of y all everybody dressed the same in your high school hall different trends different friends but it all depends who you re seekin when this joyride ends i left my past behind me runnin from yesterday somehow it seems to find me cause i can t get far enough away but i gotta keep pushin on my heart pumps with the difference beats with significance spirit and soul take control of the instruments muscle to the ligaments search for deliverance i m claimin the slain blood paid for my innocence what i think s cool you probably think is hot and what you think s cool i probably think is not but it s alright yo we re two different human beings you like trendy rappin i like real emceein it s all good though you say tomato tomahto potato potahto it s playdough it s plahdough whatever you like don t matter to me you ll never see me watchin fashion shows on e entertainment as soon as it came went right out the door with the next store arrangement the butt of all jokes cause i don t look like you the funniest thing is that i don t want to so you can call this kid a fool you can laugh or ridicule but it s all pitiful small vain and miniscule i know i probably hit a few nerve endings but it s all pending on the day you stop pretending i gotta be different i need to be different i bleed to be different i breathe to be different and that s the difference that s the difference that s the difference between you and me
