Something’s there that you’re just not seeing
Were all just different species of human beings
(TMC)
Bigger lad, white boy, dope behind the mic
I was always told to do whatever it was I liked
Around these parts, one of the rawest in sight
And no one takes it for real and its all because im white
Yo he doesn’t fit in, he doesn’t fit the image
Image shouldn’t matter if youre not a fucking gimmick
People focus too much time on whats seen on the surface
Image is irrelevant, the message serves the purpose
If youre not saying nothing, whats the point in talking
If youre trying to turn heads, you gotta say something shocking
The reason I don’t rap about pussy money and drugs
Is cause im sick of hearing the same shit from all these duds
Turn on your radio, its all you’ll ever hear
Its what every listener is bumping through their ears
So listen real close to what you hear in this recording
Forget about the artist, it’s the image youre supporting
HOOK:
How you look can be deceiving
Peoples looks don’t always carry meaning
Something’s there that you’re just not seeing
Were all just different species of human beings
(Charron)
Got me thinking while I’m sipping on a brew
They judge me for my image, but can’t picture what I do
Worthy of the fame, spitting with the flu
Murdering the game and I ain’t giving them a clue
Probably should acknowledge that all of us the same
Living insecure, its got me locked up with a chain
They said I wouldn’t make it but I fought through all the pain
Colab with Mitch Collins, now they calling out my name
Zip it like a Zippo, all I got is flames
Switch it I’m a schitzo, awkward and insane
All of you get slaughtered if you talking ‘bout this way
Calling this colostomies, I got you all in bags
Picking on my image, looking like no other
This is what you get judging books by the cover
Blurting out the words, don’t worry, you ain’t heard of me
I’m underrated, overcoming adversity
