Crypt - I Don't Wanna Be Like You lyrics

I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
Blow up in year 1, fall off in year 2 (ooh)
I don't really wanna be like you
Because your songs are only long
Enough to be a haiku (ooh)
I don't really wanna be like you
Call this Louisianna rap cause it's
Bout to be Bayou (whoo)

Take a second a listen to what I'm spitting
I'm not disrespecting you but I'm
A dude that is intending
On making it in the business my
Way or until I'm finished
No way will I take your gimmicks
They lame and full of stupidness
I'll rid this industry of kids that
Think that the way to bigness
Is addictive liquids and getting lit
Til you're faded and sick
It sickening witnessing all these
Bitches they distancing
Rap from it's roots, it's no longer smooth
Like they don't use conditioning

Tell me dude
Why the fuck would I wanna be like you?
You the type of dude to sell
His car just to buy fuel
You the type of dude to sell his
House to pay rent when it's due
And plus I kinda like knowing the
Answer to 2 plus 2 (ooh)

I'm in my groove and I'm about
To spaz in this booth
A couple of critics they wanna be
Bitching about me lashing at you
But they don't be getting it because I am
Kidding and I'm just laughing at you
Even if it's simple and ignorant it's the
Type of rap that you choose

But who am I to judge? I'm a guy who
Loves to rap fast with my iron lungs
And people think that don't take skill
But I know that it does
The clarity that I gauruntee is very
Rare when paired with speed but apparently
I'm barely good enough to rap terribly
And that's your opinion
I don't take it to heart
Like I'm the Tin man
But don't bitch to me about my taste
Cause that is condracting
I don't like the mumble
You don't like the fast shit
We both understand rap
But we just took different classes
And I passed it
I was taught by the greats and the classics
You were taught by the fake
Wayne's who like fashion
I was raised on Dre and Curtis Jackson
Where tracklists lasted longer than an
Episode of "All That" (Bitch)

Don't get me wrong
I'm not shitting on the things that you do
And if you think I am it's prolly
Cause your foot fit's the shoe
I'm just saying
I don't really wanna be like you
I'd rather have some lyrical
Substance than substance abuse
Cause I don't need all these hoes
I only want one boo
And I don't want a multi-million
Dollar prada jump suite
Life is more than just some guap and commas
I'ma about to drop some knowledge
I ain't gotta stack my wallets just to
Have a life I'm fond of
And people will say that I'm hating but
I'm just stating what you do
And what you do is negative
And that's the positive truth
I'd rather make my music strong
And filled messages to use
Than be like you and make weak shit
That can't even carry a tune

I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
I don't really wanna be like you
I said bitch I don't really
Wanna be like you

And I don't really wanna be like you
I got a couple different things
On my plate to prove
And I don't really wanna be like you
I'd rather die no lie than do
The things that you do

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like, be like
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like, be like
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like, be like
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
