Potluck - I'm Different lyrics
[Potluck - I'm Different lyrics]
Ok 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?
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
I was the boy who switched schools
The new kid on the block
The fat kid around the corner
That no bitches wanna jock
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
Made fun of my skin
I swear they laughed and cracked jokes
Like I was missng a limb
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
A set back is a set up
For a comeback when it’s over
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
I'm puffin on the Doja
Kill smoking like a stoner still
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
Yeah, sometimes I look into the mirror I
See me and I don’t like it
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
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
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
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 and I
Used to be so afraid
Now I’m flowing crazy on the stage
I came a long way
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?
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
