Look no matter what happens
We just gotta keep it, you know
You could fall like 10 times
15 times you just gotta keep it rollin'
Ayo this shit man this is how you do it
Shit I was born to be different
Shouldn't make it this far, but I did it
Knew my mission was definitive
I wish I knew it as a teenager
I was shooting for the stars
But my movie wasn't looking too good
Cooking the shit that I shouldn't have cooked
Overjealous over-shook rappers
I'm giving you the sec-ret magic
The movie opens with the setting
A drone flies over the city
To get the shot that they show you in the opening credits
It zooms in on a home off of Main Ave
Two kids, and a two parent home with a stained past
That's why I'm mad to this day
When they leave me offa they list
This passion doesn't exist no more
Man I swear these kids don't do it like this no more
Took my momma to Scotland to see the Loch Ness
Meanwhile I got my own monsters I'm trying to process
Guess it's part of the process
I done seen my idols shot
Where writers blame it on writer's block
Guess the pain was too strong
Dreamin' of these winters in Tucson
But I don't want my flowers from a funeral or wedding
We' re all born to be different
But in a funny way that's what makes us all the same
You see the yellow line that separates the lanes
Is the same line that separates joy and pain
Because my drive never ran out
I took the scenic route and never had to ask for a hand out
Why try to fit in when you're a standout?
I was Born to be Different.
