[Verse 1]
Yeah, you best believe I'm sick of the same story
How you grew up wit a picture of fame, glory
How you gave up everything just to reach for the top
How you think that you deservin' a deal from the Roc
So just in case you've only got a little time to listen
I'mma draw the line between me and the competition
Things that you could never see
If you have only got the perspective of a listener, but take it from me
The difference is this n***a's always cuttin' up the film for this
Trying to bring fruition to every one of the filaments
Mixing and then mastering and fixing all the tracks
That I record all by myself, until it's six and I be asking
Why the f** I'm still awake, can I convey the simple answer
That I seem to understand, but I'm alone with all the stanzas
That I wrote in hopes that maybe one day they could comprehend
Exactly what I think it takes to go from a boy to a man, but
[Bridge]
But now you know the difference
(Now you know the difference)
Now you know the difference
(Now you know the difference)
Now you know the difference
(Now you know the difference)
Now you know the difference .
