Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – chopped vocal sample: “cut from… cut from…”] I ain’t who I am 'cause of comfort... I’m who I am 'cause of everything I walked through. --- [Verse 1] I was made in the fire, I ain’t melt though Told the pain “what’s up,” turned it into a tempo Ran through storms, ain’t break, just bent slow Now I shine different, pressure got the best glow They ain't cut like me, I see it in they stance Built my pride where they folded in advance I ain’t had much, but I had hands Fought for peace, then prayed over plans Mama cried over bills, I turned that into fuel Pops ain’t there, so I played both roles in school Ain’t a chain on my neck that could tell my worth I'm diamonds in dirt, not designer shirts --- [Hook – gritty tone with slight melody] I’m cut from a different cloth, stitched in pain Built from the ground, in the cold, in the rain Ain’t no cosigns, just my name Made my own lane, blood in the frame Different cloth, not the kind you fold They sag, I stand — even heavy, I hold They flex for likes, I flex what I know That I ain’t supposed to shine — but I still glow --- [Verse 2] Look, I ain’t just rap, I’m survival in beats Every bar’s a scar that learned how to speak I done starved, I done hustled, I done bled for peace Told 'em I’m him, and I said it with heat I don’t follow codes, I rewrite 'em with pain Used to plot moves in the back of a train Now I speak gems while they stunt in chains Difference is — I earned what they entertain Grew up too fast, learned slow love Hard trust, deep cuts, no gloves You see stats, I see stats and souls Every L taught me where not to go --- [Hook Repeat – layered ad-libs & reverb] I’m cut from a different cloth, stitched in pain Built from the ground, in the cold, in the rain Ain’t no cosigns, just my name Made my own lane, blood in the frame Different cloth, not the kind you fold They sag, I stand — even heavy, I hold They flex for likes, I flex what I know That I ain’t supposed to shine — but I still glow --- [Outro – no drums, just keys + vocals fade out] Different don’t need a tag. It just gotta last.
