Can you tell me the difference between you and me?
Can you tell me the difference between me and them?
Can you tell them the difference between a foe and a friend
Between a hoe and a ten
Between the hood and the pen
Martyr blood and the ink of a scholar's pen
I was taught that I could be the difference between all of them
Actually nobody taught me sh** they ain't want me to know
I had to learn for myself
Seek the knowledge to grow
Knowledge to show
Those with a key that its my time to go
Through these doors, walkin' these sacred floors
Walkin' the summit the top of America, overcome the fears the Taliban gave to us
You ain't hear me, n***a?
I'm weldin' the pipes
And pipin' the woman tonight
I think she used to be yours
No communicate
I had a house by the shore, with five different floors
n***a, that's my "hoe-tel"
Makin' love on the softest beds, but the hoes they never tell
n***a I'm hyping, you couldn't tell?
n***a I'm typing, I do this well
f** a freestyle, my style is me
And you like my style, my style ain't free
Rap the same way I style these beats
O.KAY my brother, he Congolese
We on the beach, palming trees
When I speak, you feel tropical breeze
That's the Sandy and a Katrina
Comin' right for ya
You might feel love
For the way I present knowledge, and my percent of math
Let it shower your soul, and give your heart a bath
Then your blood will be worth a thousand times more
Than it was before, you'll reach the sky while living on floors
Hold up!
I wil not slow up!
Word up!
My words are borne
Intervention from the time I was born
Intersection of the drums and the horns
I'm spittin' like a black woman scorned
Intercepting all the black broken homes
Let's cut the bullsh**, you feel me?
Might take you a couple listens, to really
Understand, what's the difference of upper hands
The newest genesis
Newest version of man, newest version of land
WAIT!
I think I just stunted too hard
Only if you realize
That you, god
Is a new God
Power over your own
Outcome and outlook, enterprise in ya home
Surprise, I'm in my zone
You livin' lies, I'm in my zone
You try to say, you different
From the rest, you pullin' sh**
From the bull, you full of sh**
Just take a seat, my n***a sit
Down on the ground
Unless you 'tryna get choked 'outta the town
Go back from whence you came
They Plymouth Rock you, after they give you fame
Tell you chains
Is the only way to own what we do to you
But n***a, you don't own those chains so really who's owning you?
Anyway, y'all not ready for them super j**els yet
The same way I'm not ready for certain tools yet
But the Jews and the Catholics take care of me
Like they did my grandma
Those rhymes kinda struck a nerve, even though it ain't make sense
Y'all can kiss my Nowitzki
Inside joke number fifty
But really
Can you tell me the difference between you and me?
Can you tell me the difference between me and them?
Can you tell them the difference between a foe and a friend
Between a hoe and a ten
Between the hood and the pen
Martyr blood and the ink of a scholar's pen
I was taught that I could be the difference between all of them
Actually nobody taught me sh** they ain't want me to know
I had to learn for myself
Seek the knowledge to grow
Knowledge to show
Those with a key that its my time to go!
