Smoke free since day three, chillin’ since forever and a day
Making butta beats sound even better
Take the second letter to the 5th, add the 4th and come back to the first
Upon the scene I burst, spell my name like Bensonhurst
That means I’m chillin’. Top billin’ on a Californicator feelin’
Either that or I’m flyin’ with the birds, up in the sky with the Facebook Nerds
Let me introduce.. no crew, just me and a deuce, toke one, got beaucoup game
I ain’t playing, living in a world where they be steady complaining
Too many clouds, too many doubts, always it be raining
But baby I’m a water sign..
I listen to da beat, grab the pad and pen some lines
About how it feels to work the nine to five
Slave to the grind, society capital crime
Rockin’ church with alligators, fuck it.. I’ll think about a concept later
Almost there, straight paying bills, still chasing after dividends
Never took the easy way, so expect something different..
If you’re looking for a player
Expect something different
If you’re waiting for the album to drop
Expect something different
If you’re thinking about a paycheck
Expect something different
And they said hip hop was dead..
I listen to Gummy Soul, good lord..
Petty, short but sweet and Kurtis Stanley, man of the people
That song just made my day like Morris lookin’ in the mirror
Jerome! Bring me more beats and flows for my dome to come home to
Freshly pressed from Bandcamp, pay what you like like a real champ
As you lust for the record deal, what a beautiful stress
Going for the gusto, but I might do it for less
Tight excited, get it right all-nighter
Looking for the Light, feel the heat gettin’ brighter
Blink my eyes, nappy heads know the score
Think I’m gonna love myself a little bit more
Music with beats makes my heart feel stronger
I fall for any pretty face (as you do) but only if she’s heaven sent
I can’t give you more of what you want.. expect something different.
If you slow to understand this
Expect something different
If you follow Peter ‘cos he look good
Expect something different
The way you saw me in the video
Expect something different
This is strictly for the listeners, who
Expect something different
If you think the rebel’s lazy
Expect something different
If you see me barkin’ up a tree, dog
Expect something different
If you’re looking for some plain shit
Expect something different
If you’re into what I’m saying
Expect something different
{C’est different}
