Same but Different

Look I know that I'm different & I know I'm eccentric I got rings on every finger, my tastes are eclectic Admittedly I'm dressed kinda vintage-y, pimpishly But now what does that really have to do with my Inner being? True story, hey At least We ain't boring There is absolutely no glory in that category My goals is modest All I ever wanted was to be the funkiest rapper alive Which I've accomplished We were born to soar but the choice is yours Fly with me above the clouds or admire me from the ground And if you wanna get weird, get weird I love your flavor of crazy I can’t get enough You let your freak flag wave And that’s beautiful Misfits fit we click click We’re all same same same But diff diff different To keep it all the way funky with you I just ain't comfortable Unless I'm around dysfunctional, outcasts & untouchables My collection of friendships spans the whole spectrum Artists, directors, barbers, executives Dudes that's Huuuuge successes in business Dudes wit (ooooooh) sentences in prison I got normal patnas with a job & a house I got Homeless patnas talking to themselves Some changing tires others changing the planet Some changing diapers, some can’t change they habits Some never grew up, others died too soon But we connect through love, that’s the best we can do And if you wanna get weird, get weird I love your flavor of crazy I can’t get enough You let your freak flag wave And that’s beautiful Misfits fit we click click We’re all same same same But diff diff different Fly peacock Spread your wings The most beautiful thing that I’ve ever seen Fly peacock Spread your wings The most beautiful thing that I’ve ever seen The biggest thing I hate about hatred Is it keeps us distracted from achieving our greatness I want what everybody wants, the freedom to be me Without constantly explaining my reason for being How much time have I spent justifying my actions That I could’ve spent applying my passion? We just ain’t getting the most we can out of each other Because we haven’t figured out how to get beyond color They said Asians can't rap, so I had to be exceptional There’s no precedent for that, I had to be successful Now this discussion give you discomfort Shit, how you think I feel every day trying to function I don’t care if it makes U feel awkward That’s why We talk it through, that's how we move forward Empathy, understanding, respect for each other Be that person you needed when you were younger --- Same but Different - Lyrics Born
