New Situation

[Intro]
Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go
Cool, hold on

[Chorus]
Stop it, this ain't the same thing, this a different situation
There's perseverance, pain, and perfect timin', I was patient
I think of all the days I done wasted tryna save so many faces
I know I ain't got it all, but I ain't crazy, okay, but maybe
Don't gotta like me, but respect me, Aretha Franklin
And all my life I've been rejected, for that I'm thankful
That proves the fact I'm nothin' like you, don't let 'em change you
Don't let 'em change you

[Verse]
Call me whatever you want, but really it's obvious, dog
Them other rappers been lyin' so lone that they're merely impressed with your honesty, dog
This Free Barabbas and we don’t do average, I'm sorry but that is a policy, dog
Don't get embarrassed, just shut up and cherish your life, I'm teachin' Biology, dog
I should be teachin' Geography way that I hop in these beats and be statin' the facts
I should be teachin' them 'bout the economy way that I grind and I get to these racks
Gotta be out of your mind, a lobotomy if you don't think I'ma keep me a snack
No etymology but I can see how the cookie can crumble and fall through the cracks
Movin' forward, I ain't lookin' back
Used to sleep on the floor on the mat
Now they woke and the feeling's amazin'
It's a regular day, but I dug out some fresh and they askin' me, "What's the occasion?"
I don't care 'bout your nation, I'm out of this world, I'm an alien
This an invasion, quit your complainin'

[Chorus]
Stop it, this ain't the same thing, this a different situation
There's perseverance, pain, and perfect timin', I was patient
I think of all the days I done wasted tryna save so many faces
I know I ain't got it all, but I ain't crazy, okay, but maybe
Don't gotta like me, but respect me, Aretha Franklin
And all my life I've been rejected, for that I'm thankful
That proves the fact I'm nothin' like you, don't let 'em change you
Don't let 'em change you
