Not the Same Lyrics by N0va

Checkmate

2018

[Intro]
I don’t give a Fuck what you got to say homie
Haters always got a lot to say
This just goes to show we not the same homie
This just goes to show we not the same homie

I don’t give a Fuck what you got to say homie
Haters always got a lot to say
This just goes to show we not the same homie
This just goes to show we not the same homie

[Verse 1: N0va]
I keep tryna cool off, but past my boiling point
Been on a stage and booed off and went to roll a joint
And came back with better bars, better flow and a golden voice
That’s called Levelling up – died and came back with heavenly stuff

How come everyone I look to for advice, they just look away
How come everyone I love always pull away
How come yo stress weighs more when you push the weight
Do it for the rap game, do it for my last name
I’m More better like when you fucking her second time
I elevate new face my mamma couldn’t recognize
Success can bring yo friends closer or it can sever ties
You’ll never know till yo face to face with the devils eyes
They say it’s dog eat dog and my kennel riot
A bunch of pussies in yo squad I identify em
I can testify it
Ain't in my shoes, not taking steps with giants
Surviving off a weed, ramen and an asbestos diet

[Hook]
People tell me to sing less and rap more
People tell me spit raps with facts more
People talk a whole lotta shit
Wanna get on the blunt but they don’t wanna pitch, No
People tell me to sing less and rap more

[Verse 2]
I can’t find a fuck to give but theres a lot I probably Owe
A mix of Prince, Biggy and hint of Modern Leo
Davinci or Dicaprio battle with my ego
But every bar come out spicy hot tapatio
Hit em with the truths they couldn’t ever possibly know
I can see the matrix code but never stop to be like Neo
The one
A dozen fears I grew up with I overcome
I can feel the pains and I miss the days of sober lungs
People turn a blind eye to hate and racial profilin
Breaking those silenced cuz they evading no violence
Murder rates is slow rising everyday on the high
Stray bullets hit a child mamma prey for a sign

[Verse 3]
I been calculatin like chess moves
Never guessin my next moves
Buncha pawns y’all next dudes
Always copy da pen moves
We working toward em better days
Known my boys since 2nd grade
Hustle like we never paid
Write Fuck it on my Resume
Ain’t fucking with yo selfish ways
I seen you when the mask come off
You like a different person when all we sit and burning
Your eyes is shifting sipping bourbon with a sketchy look
You’re now a burden to the crew, you sus and steady shook
I’m more concerned with dope verses and a heavy hook
I got my goals, I want bowls, shots of henny, Look
I ain’t tryna get drunk I’m tryna alter life
I been cooking in the lab like I’m Walter WHite
My spirit living on – poltergeist
I just saw the light
I know there’s more to life
I know there’s more to man
I know the life of a poets got a shorter span
But I’m okay with that

[Hook]
People tell me to sing less and rap more
People tell me spit raps with facts more
People talk a whole lotta shit
Wanna get on the blunt but they don’t wanna pitch, No
People tell me to sing less and rap more

[Outro]
I don’t give a Fuck what you got to say homie
Haters always got a lot to say
This just goes to show we not the same homie
This just goes to show we not the same homie

I don’t give a Fuck what you got to say homie
Haters always got a lot to say
This just goes to show we not the same homie
This just goes to show we not the same homie
