Difference by KiD FlashR Lyrics
[Intro]
You know they always ask me like why I ain't like no other kid, you know what I'm saying? Like why I ain't out here running around picking fights you know and trying to be all like I'm a thug or something
Damn Menace got beats
I just tell them it's the difference, you know what I'm saying. I came up a different way than they did, you know, I ain't go through everything that they went through. Basically, I was just raised different, you know?
[Verse 1]
Growing up wanting to be an astronaut
Yeah that's the dream of the average guy
But I was different, that's because of God
Spread my wings so that I can fly
On the path to higher places
Running like I'm in the races
I was never catching cases
I flipped them numbers that was basic
Chased green numbers, I'm in the Matrix
Keep getting so close to winning, I can taste it yeah
And that's what kept us separated
I was getting all the money, younger cats were hatin'
They want to see me fall, on my downfall they waitin'
My dad ain't keep me in the house, he was being patient
Waiting on me to grow up
Had to put the toys up
Taught me how to ride bikes, yeah I threw the wheel up
Next we in this big truck, had to take a step up
We was kings in the city man, no one could touch us nah
Then one night that all changed
Walked in the house, hear the phone ring
Said my dad went down the same lane
In the back of the car man he shackled in chains
And from that day, Nothing Was The Same
Still feel it in my heart, still feel the pain
Still feel the pain, still feel it in my heart
Nothing Was The Same
But thank God we made bail
Later on that night we got my dad up out of there
So he can say he never spent a night jail
And as a man I sat back and watched him fail
And get back up on his feet, yeah he doing well
Was there hard times, hm yeah I couldn't tell
He showed me right from wrong that was his preference
I was raised to be good, yeah that was the difference
You know they always ask me like why I ain't like no other kid, you know what I'm saying? Like why I ain't out here running around picking fights you know and trying to be all like I'm a thug or something
Damn Menace got beats
I just tell them it's the difference, you know what I'm saying. I came up a different way than they did, you know, I ain't go through everything that they went through. Basically, I was just raised different, you know?
