This is the lead single for khrys.‘ second album titled G!BR4LT4R, produced by Epik Beats (f.k.a. Epik The Dawn). The song is about how he’s striving to be different from everybody else from being himself despite criticism, no matter how bad the quality of it is.
[Intro]
Yo, I felt that this album needed this song, so let's just do this, alright?
They judge me ‘cuz I’m different, but before you bang your gavel
Please just notice that I’m fly – notice – notice that I’m fly
[Verse 1]
I knew ever since day 1 I would be the fuckin’ man
Everybody once ignored me, then they steady tried to scan
Got these dirty mugs around me when I traversed any land
Thinkin’ ‘bout how well I seemed to act, no Dan
But little did I know this wave of hate had just began
Confusing my confidence with me hiding some kind of plan
But I was cool with theories, so with that I kinda ran
‘Cuz I knew people would hate the things that they don’t understand
And they tried to give me words of encouragement
Like I had some type of really bad malnourishment
Of something that they have but I don’t; but if I ever listen to it
I could be like them and I won’t because hate I don’t condone
You could say that I condon’t; but whatever
Those little friends of mine never put 2 and 2 together
The efforts of my enemies they never paused from play
And that never really changed, matter fact, to this day
[Hook]
I’ve got a hundred million problems, a hundred million moves
And a hundred million people tryna tell me what to do
They think that I’mma hear them, but I will not heed a word
I know exactly why they talk and all that shit is damn absurd, man
They judge me ‘cuz I’m different, but before you bang your gavel
Please just notice that I’m fly; I be on my Henry Cavill
They judge me ‘cuz I’m different, but before you bang your gavel
Please just notice that I’m fly – notice – notice that I’m fly
[Verse 2]
When I said my little friends never put 2 and 2 together
They couldn’t take the hint, they really did something clever
They started being verbal, saying I’m doing shit wrong
So let me put this conversation where it belongs (away)
I’ve been training to run a ton of these marathons
People all in my ears and preparing all these comparisons
And so far, I’ve tried my hardest to play good samaritan
But if they knew what they said, it’d be somethin’ so embarrassing
If your name ain’t Curtis, Tosha, Brian, Austin, Ethen
Chris, Que, Frank, Christina or Sean, do not even
One asshole is enough, I've no need to see double
Stick to your life you got and keep yourself out of trouble
Say it once, say it twice; don't think I got any arrogance
‘Cuz I’m that type of person that nobody’d ever dare against
You want me to change it to something that can’t be mine?
If that’s where you stand, I’ll go and say I politely decline
[Hook]
I’ve got a hundred million problems, a hundred million moves
And a hundred million people tryna tell me what to do
They think that I’mma hear them, but I will not heed a word
I know exactly why they talk and all that shit is damn absurd, man
They judge me ‘cuz I’m different, but before you bang your gavel
Please just notice that I’m fly; I be on my Henry Cavill
They judge me ‘cuz I’m different, but before you bang your gavel
Please just notice that I’m fly – notice – notice that I’m fly
[Verse 3]
What the hell are y’all doing? What kind of gutter you stuck in?
I see fingers go up and down, but it’s unsteady conductin’
Are you counting in seven? Are you waving in three?
You call me lost, but I’m thinkin’ that y’all are lost more than me
Where the hell is your downbeat? Need these questions repeated?
I can take criticism, but if it’s this, I don’t need it
You tryna get me on your beat for me to dance for your fun?
Who the hell even needs you? That’s why I got my own drum
[Outro]
Art thou dumb? I’m not sorry for being what you’re not used to
I doth not regret it and my babble be’st the truth
Thou might hang thyself for perjury should you just not confess it
Man, somebody cue the sample, I’m ready to make my exit
They judge me ‘cuz I’m different, but before you bang your gavel
Please just notice that I’m fly; I be on my Henry Cavill
They judge me ‘cuz I’m different, but before you bang your gavel
Please just notice that I’m fly – notice – notice that I’m fly
(Yo, this ain't hate. I ain't dissin'; I'm just on something different.)
