You Is Not Like Us

Yo, check the pulse, somethin' feelin' off

Like a beat skip, somethin' 'bout to cough

Up a lungful of truth, raw and uncut

You ain't in the fam, blood

Don't even front.

Nah, son, that ain't it

You is not like us, no, no

Not from 'round here, slow

You is not like us, uh-uh

Tryna be us?

Walkin' 'round with that borrowed swagger

Fake gold chain, heavy like a anchor

We been grindin', you just showed up late

Thinkin' you can imitate

My whole damn state?

See, it ain't 'bout the clothes, the cars, or the ice

It's the soul, the story, pay the price

You can't buy this, can't fake this pedigree

Poser, tragically

Empty.
