Sixtoo - Different lyrics

"Nothing at last is sacred. Oh how the great have fallen What have I done to myself? It's been way too long!" We need to reacquaint. Things are different now, I ain't the same man I was Hi, how are you doing? I'm new and improved with even less to lose A collector's edition version of a virgin drink ordering co*ktail teller Gone way wrong...to the point of no return Over the edge and burned out before I even got my shine Holding my head in pure doubt Out of insight. Out of mindful things to shout or rhyme about Yeah, I know I was supposed to change the world and all Looks like the world got to me first If you can't beat em, join 'em.. Then hurt the team by beating yourself I'm different...in a different way The only thing that stays the same is change While people claim their states, I state my claims Sage Francis made a name for himself For the record my mother calls me Paul Which was my father's middle name, but Ray Stepped in and raised me It's crazy, but this is a game I play Called "Shut the f** uuuuuuup!" Don't bother calling me at all because I'm not answering Is that a voice-mail-bomb-threat or her broken promise I'm mishandling? Gambling away my money issues, somebody owes me big bucks My career depends on explosive vacuums s**ing me in and blowing me up Poetry struck a nerve in the listenership Spoken word then got 'em all interested Now I don't have to serve ice cream to little kids I get to serve emcees who think they're rippin' it And poets who think they're somehow significant Meanwhile both are loud and ignorant And don't know how to speak to a crowd in an intimate environment I am different. In a different way The only thing that stays the same is change While people claim their states, I state my claims I'm a quiet natured player who outwardly hates the game I shake what I got, which is a jingly pocket Do my mini-market research and make noise for myself when I walk quick I talk with authority while I question it When I ask, "Who am I?" I'm left guessing But if you're a poor man's version of ANYTHING It is your self-perception Growing up in a microscopic town prepared me well for this petrii dish Where talk is invisible to the naked eye and I hate the guy they're speaking with I'm a real vegetarian: No chicken...not even fish I'm a real underground rapper My tape quality s**s, my records are warped and my CD skips Lady Luck is a greedy b**h with itchy palms and a case of the gimmes But I've got an outtie if she's got an inny I'll clean her pipes and then sweep her chimney The beat that's in me is polyrhythmic. You're only 60 heart beats per minute A human second-hand-me-down-to-earth-guy who will thriftshop-lift his hiphop I may be getting too big for my britches But I paid my dues when the cost was climbing And if I burn too many bridges I'll never get off of this awful island As long as I've been rhyming, they only started listening Because for a while they didn't like how I wouldn't smoke the pot that I was pissin' in Plus I had no dead homies to pour out the liquor I don't drink You can flash your shiny objects in front of my eyes and I won't blink I'm motherf**ing different. Oooohhhh yyyeeeaaahhhh.. I'm motherf**ing different. Oooohhhh yyyeeeaaahhhh..
