Different Drummer ---IPG1
Intro
Ain't this some shit here...
Enslaved by society and locked in to this damn routine
Is it a nightmare or some crazy ass dream?
Creature of habit...we in our comfort zone now
.....FUCK THAT!
I march to the beat of a different drummer
already established cool like Indian summer
thought you had sweet here’s another snicker
more than satisfy Damn a heavy hitter
score wits a bit quicker
in it to win it street like malt liquor
let's keep it going definitely not a quitter
still too deep call me super nature
walk and talk in history yeah I get it right here
A divided society built on hate and fear
my pockets been lined with just the right gear
I started with nothing so I don't even care
chorus
Guess I'll take you there never had no fear
hand on my crotch finger in the air
balls hell yeah I got a pair
stepping on toes damn right I dare
Guarantee some might not like what they hear
but let me make this point totally clear
I'm a keeping it real
freedom of speech means not live in fear
and that's why Im the underground right here
the man the legend the myth a force to be reckon with
A boss by nature check your behavior
think that heaven made ya and Jesus gonna save ya
color inside the lines and the system wont enslave ya
but money is just the tool no one really ever pays ya
from one bill to another that's how society raise ya
How hard is surviving when you're broke on a payday
Okay who says
turn a blind eye and it all goes away
—hell—
This here is long overdue same undertaking
But for some a rude awakening
head of households I won't be forsaken
Only provider I ain't the one shaking
look me in the eyes not at my skin color
They're brown not blue And I work hard too
all lives matter so whats wrong with you
chorus
Guess I'll take you there never had no fear
hand on my crotch finger in the air
Ball hell yeah I got a pair
stepping on toes damn right I dare
I don't even care powered up to clear
when the lion roars people stop and stare
I'm your worst nightmare mentally aware
try to play me close don't get too near
this is the kind of shit you bitches need to hear
grew up in bunches like grapes on the vine
homies dead or in prison last of my kind
seen them fall by the wayside one at a time
getting shot and killed for stepping out of line
it's a thinning of the herd I'm flipping you the bird
man shits crazy and absurd
last of my kind done stepped over the line
nothing left to lose you bitches done lost your mind
if I'm perceived as a threat well I ain't done yet
OK if I'm left out no regrets
why put a target on my back just because I'm black
or my hair is long and nappy
bitch I like it like that
it's more than black-and-white when you see what I've seen
think I'm wrong for speaking out
well that's just my opinion
but let's not forget how Hitler spawned his minions
life goes a lot deeper than just face value
don't like what you're hearing then I guess I'm getting through
chorus
Guess I'll take you there never had no fear
hand on my crotch finger in the air
balls hell yeah I got a pair
stepping on toes damn right I dare
if I don't play well with others It's not negativity
I'm just doing my best with the cards dealt to me
why should my first thought have to be
to change who I be just
because of the way society perceives me
on this I'm being honest society has gotten dumber so
I march to the beat of a totally different drummer
soldier of the first world ain't no new comer
already established cool like Indian summer
will I live long enough so I can retire
Been a lifelong struggle all trial by fire
still hands in my pockets bills not paid yet
I work daily for a living, yet I'm the threat?
chorus
Guess I'll take you there never had no fear
hand on my crotch finger in the air
balls hell yeah I got a pair
stepping on toes damn right I dare
-----------damn right —I dare
