[Intro]

Okay, Mr. Kerri, I have diagnosed you with chronic depression and severe emotional abandonment. This has caused traumatic anger issues resulting in violent outbursts. You have responded to this by massive amounts of self medication. So, tell me, how does this make you feel?


[Chorus: 1-Ton]

(I think I'm different) People looking at me funny

Trying to play me like a dummy just 'cause I ain't got no money

(I think I'm different) I keep on feeling like a waste

It's getting hard to find my place I need my memories erased

(I think I'm different) I'm kinda crazy in the brain

Call me borderline insane but I'm trying to make a change

(I think I'm different) I couldn't step into my own

I was lost without a home until I found the microphone


[Verse 1: 1-Ton]

I was the boy who switched schools (The school), the new kid on the block

The fat kid around the corner that no bitches wanna jock (Eugh!)

And the snitches wanna sock like I was new to this stuff

Catch me slipping on the block and trying to prove that they tough ([?])

Called me names like Slim (Slim), made fun of my skin

I swear they laughed and cracked jokes like I was missng a limb (C'mon!)

I guess I didn't fit in, I guess I'm different than them

My momma hugged while she cried "Don't you listen to them" ([?])

And the times I got beat up but I would fight to the end ([?])

Tried to keep my mind open, tried to find me a friend ([?])

Was bumping "Tougher Than Leather" when I was sad and wanted in

Just when it started getting better is when we packed and moved again (Move over!)

A set back is a set up for a comeback when it's over (That's what I see)

Tried to suck it up instead of crying on your shoulder

I'd be lying if I told ya I was fine when I was older (Uh)

I'm puffin' on the doja, kill smoking like a stoner still


[Chorus: 1-Ton]

(I think I'm different) People looking at me funny

Trying to play me like a dummy just 'cause I ain't got no money

(I think I'm different) I keep on feeling like a waste

It's getting hard to find my place I need my memories erased

(I think I'm different) I'm kinda crazy in the brain

Call me borderline insane but I'm trying to make a change

(I think I'm different) I couldn't step into my own

I was lost without a home until I found the microphone


[Interlude]

Mr. Leiderman, it seems you are suffering from social anxiety disorder with social phobias which cause you to be overwhelmed in simple situations. This sickness makes a person such as yourself have a very difficult and complicated life, I'm very sorry, but how does this make you feel?


[Verse 2: UnderRated]

Yeah, sometimes I look into the mirror I see me and I don't like it (Yuh)

I never thought they'd be a time when I would have to write this

But I'm different on the inside it's hard to explain (Whassup?)

And if you see me smiling I'm trying to cover up the pain

Cause deep down I'm hurting sick of trying to fit in (Hey)

Sick of trying to be like him man, when I was just a kid

I was down on myself I never thought that I could get through (Uh-huh?)

The smallest kid at my school and I was so far from cool

Just searching trying to find the right place for me

No cable TV and no new Jordan's on my feet

No girl by my side I don't wanna be alive

Back then I was so sad but I'm so glad that I survived ([?], uh!)

'Cause struggle makes ya stronger look at me I'm living proof

If I can do it anyone could too I wouldn't lie to you

I was the shyest dude (Do it!) and I used to be so afraid (Yeah)

Now, I'm flowing crazy on the stage I came a long way


[Chorus: 1-Ton]

(I think I'm different) People looking at me funny

Trying to play me like a dummy just 'cause I ain't got no money

(I think I'm different) I keep on feeling like a waste

It's getting hard to find my place I need my memories erased

(I think I'm different) I'm kinda crazy in the brain

Call me borderline insane but I'm trying to make a change

(I think I'm different) I couldn't step into my own

I was lost without a home until I found the microphone
