Protégé - Different

Who am I
They ask, but they know
Different soul
Same clothes
But I refuse to be another Jane Doe
A nobody
Praying someone remembers me
In a world full of characters
Trying to find my identity
Trying to dodge these comparisons
In every lane they compare us in
Who's on, who's nice, who's wrong, who's right
Damn it's almost like they're comparing sins
And that's cool
And in a different case maybe that's true
Said he paved the way to the door of the game but my feet too small to fit in that shoe
What am I to do
So now you're forced to dim your light behind somebody else's shadow
Finding strength to go and make a lane is only half the battle
I gotta ask the people
What do you want from me
And then I ask myself if this is how it's gonna be
I'm forced to dim my light behind somebody else's shadow
Half the time up in my mind I wonder if it's worth the hassle
No I ain't crying, I ain't whining, I'm just tripping
Wishing you would take a second just to listen

Let me show you how I'm different baby
Tried to put me in a box but I ain't with it baby
These other niggas fake but I keep it authentic baby
I don't think they understand
Now I'm wishing you would just give me the chance just to show you that I'm different baby
All them games they play you know that I ain't with it baby
Started up and Ima run it to the finish baby
Don't know if I'm losing or I'm winning
But I know that Ima go until the ending
Just to show you that I'm different

Been ready to blow
But time's a factor
Searching for happiness and success
Just wish that I could find it faster
Stuck in the moment that I'm trying to capture
Head full of questions trying to find the answer
When I'm in the booth I tend to find myself
It gives a new meaning to the term conscious rapper
I just wanna be free
In a world of imitation I just want to be me
With no gimmicks I'm just giving every thing I got in each and every sentence
Wishing you would take a second just to listen

Let me show you how I'm different baby
Tried to put me in a box but I ain't with it baby
These other niggas fake but I keep it authentic baby
I don't think they understand
Now I'm wishing you would just give me the chance just to show you that I'm different baby
All them games they play you know that I ain't with it baby
Started up and Ima run it to the finish baby
Don't know if I'm losing or I'm winning
But I know that Ima go until the ending
Just to show you that I'm different

So let me take you higher
So won't you come along with me
Got everything that your soul desires
You know I got everything you need
So let me take you higher
So won't you come along with me
Got everything that your soul desires
You know I got whatever you need
