Yo, check it out I want you to pay attention to this Know what I'm saying, listen up, alright? You bust lead? So do I, except mine impregnates the page Giving birth to thoughts that unify You f** little girls, I make love to women My words uplift, yours are poisonous like venom I'm an emcee, you're a rapper I'm as real as they come While half the guys you idolize are just actors You run from commitment, I remain loyal You call women b**hes I call them queens because they're royal You make rap songs, I make soul music When God speaks through rhythm, will you go to it Yo I save my cash; yours, you blow through it I say your child's special, you say he's so stupid I'm pouring my heart out in everything written You're scared you'll look soft, heart remains hidden Yo on touchy subjects nerves I stay hittin' But I ain't better than you, I just think different Is the gla** half full or half empty? It's based on your perspective quite simply We're the same and we're not, know what I'm saying? Listen So I ain't better than you, I just think different My fam run things, while you run your j**elry My people pop lock, you tough guys pop toolies You rock gems, I drop gems You Xerox copying while I originate material to stimulate Positive thought patterns when the chosen start gathering We bar none Yo I got jokes, you are one I'm out doing it while you talk about it I'm constantly in the mix while you walk around it You try, I do I'm wise, you're clueless I get the job done, you fail and make excuses I'm a gentleman, your behavior's abusive I'm patient, you're jumping the gun, false start You're caught up in dress codes, I'll shop at Wal-Mart s**er, I'm all heart and you're half-hearted You s**as are vandals, we graf artist Thought you had the last laugh but we laugh hardest Is the gla** half full or half empty? It's based on your perspective quite simply We're the same and we're not, know what I'm saying? Listen So I ain't better than you, I just think different You fall in love with body parts, I connect mentally With my female counterpart before we bond physically Cats I chill with rap about revolution While you rap about drug abuse and distribution You wanna be like Mike, yo I wanna be me My queen's hard to obtain while yours is easy We both from Maryland but be reppin' D.C. We all front sometimes, that's how emcees be My word is bond and yours is worthless You're mainstream, I'm beneath the surface I stay working hard while you're hardly workin' All you want is money and your dick s**ed, are you certain? I want a better world for our seeds to live in I put faith in myself, not the system Yo, we trying to travel so why you making pit stops? You cats is rap and I'm hip-hop Is the gla** half full or half empty? It's based on your perspective quite simply We're the same and we're not, know what I'm saying? Listen So I ain't better than you, I just think different
