VERSE 1:
I never been one to just integrate
You can keep your negativity
One of a kind, I never imitate
Jaw dropper when I step up on the scene
On the mic I never hesitate
I give em that ultra light beam
They see my face and they double take
Coz they ain't ever seen a brother like me
Dumb it down, play it safe
Nah, this is how different taste
Some of ya'll really boring
Rock what you got girl it's what you're born with
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
Man of the house
Look how you stand in a crowd
They used to laugh in the beginning
Now they want to be your friend coz you winning
Ain't it funny how things done change
They be running that same old same
I never settle for the game they playing
Nah that'll never work on me
Running on flat, you left the lights on
Careful what you say when the mics on
It's hard to breathe when the scene full of pythons
And you got big dreams to be an icon
Legendary's what I've got my sights on
I go the extra round when the fights on
I'm the man that you want to keep an eye on
Coz I'm the motherfucking LION
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
You the man now
Look how you stand out
Everyone looks so familiar
It's hard for me to feel ya
I found strength in the mirror
Now things are much clearer
And it all make sense
When I look back, how it all began
This how it all began
40 degrees hot summers
Rocking grey microfiber pants, popped collars
Dropping buckets with Me Against The World in my headphones
And the Sony shockproof discman in my pocket
This is back when I wanted beats I'd pay top dollars
Now they messing with me coz they know I drop knowledge
Back before Award shows, the likes and follows
Room was the studio, the booth a closet
No one saw the vision they were knocking back offers
Studying the game I had to make my own options
Paved my own lane, couldn't put me in their boxes
Made to stand out with roar like monsters
(RAH) Uh, my area full of Rottweilers
We done seen a lot, done a lot, yeah we got mileage
Almost caused a crash behind the wheel freestyling
Dead or alive my drive still be climbing
Still dropping buckets kicking back reclining
With a sweet release and a unique timing
Underdog coming up, so defiant
Forged by the flame, my game is hot iron
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
Why blend in when you're born to stand out
They looking at ya, you the man now
