Standout by Teejay Hiphop Lyrics
[Intro]
They tell me I'm so different, thanks
Glad you noticed
This is natural for me
[Hook]
Chose the separate crowd, far from the same
Led them showed how, transverse far away
God I'm amazed, they pawns to a king
A world full of goods so I got to be great
(x2)
[Verse 1]
You don't want it with us, so why do y'all play son
I been running this here since like day one
Been switching up styles, whole other lanes run
But always remain where I came from, that's straight up
I'm in another zone on a different act
It all rolls off my tongue, taste is sharp, been licking tacks
They should report my name like I had been flagged for this
Always recording great, could say I have a knack with it
Sounds crisp and all, isn't all I'm after
I mean to tell my story since they can't read a chapter
Too complex, that's where they lack in
They'd never grasp it
Misheard, I might as well speak Anglo-Saxon
This here's the new translation
Told me take it down a notch, dude I'm saying
Everything is stagnant, watch me move nations
Don't believe in magic, here's proof, I'll make it
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
More ambition than most, not just any fool
Cause when they find life's a fight they hit the swimming pool
Only speak what's my mind to the grave
Any-who that explains I'd die to convey
I want different, inspired to change
Denying all intentions that thrive off of fame
There's difference being known and difference being heard
One is just a mention, and one is meaning more
Aye yo, I would rather win and keep proceeding
That's why every bar they hear me preach I really mean it
See it through applied, this I won't ever leave it
Should know that I been a beast since as a fetus
When everything known grows old like throwbacks
All is average, washed up it's so wack
Parts none have explored’s what I go at
There's no one like I, I just don't match
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Been tired of waiting it's time to earn
I've been born to teach, spent my whole life tryna learn
Looking for a name though I'm finding a title more
In aiming to do rap became a writer more
My story's gonna sell, every sentence a diamond earned
Smelling like success, seasoned up with the finest herbs
Everyone heard the name (pause), moment of silence first
I'll be a hero and all of this when the time's preferred
Got the mission we all have, that's minus yours
Man I love being myself you should try it more
They can see it in my eyes for sure, I ain’t gonna lie my course
Courageous admitting one's faults, that's a lion's roar
Have tried to dumb it down but that's not for me
Same brand new code, I'm just like a product key
The sky is more than stars, there's a lot I got to reach
Made like a snowflake, tell me how I'm not unique?
[Hook]
[Outro]
I never got why standing out was a bad thing
It's not their life you're living
So why not
I'd rather stand out than be part of the crowd
I get to do what I want rather than what I'm told I should do
Just be you
They tell me I'm so different, thanks
Glad you noticed
This is natural for me
