09. Commonalities You think I'm unoriginal? You think I'm fake? You think I'ma copycat? Then I think you're nothing but a stupid fuck! 'Cause I'm none of that. What you don't know about me could fill a book Can't nobody call me an imposter Hard work got me bloody to create this monster Call me a wannabe but me I gotta be I wash no mind for you to follow me It's like 2 different dudes wearing the same exact shoes & 1 flips out 'cause the other copied the shoe he choose See that's different but if he did it for himself, it wouldn't matter what he chose 'cause he didn't use his help There's enough for copycats circling the planet & I swear by all I am I'm not them goddamnit It's hard enough to be myself Created my originality without anyone's help But in a sense, we all copy each other Since you wanna get literal Criticism lover you're pitiful When I look at you, I could call you a fake Ya probably jacked 5 styles you don't hear me hate (Chorus) Similarities & copiers aren't the same You can think what you want of me & insult & try to blame Just makes you naive but if you wanna get technical Life's huge rip off of each other in general I'm just being myself in this world of hell If you have originality that's all that counts But if you're aiming to be someone in particular Then a copycat is found just a clone whatcha think now? While you sit there & label us, we can try our damnedest We're still like someone else don't matter how ya brand it Even if you made it, it's been done before Differences mean hated, don't matter what you go for But this is who I am & I'll be goddamned If you expect me to change for some traits for another man Now ripping off someone becomes consequential 'Cause I can't stand someone using the stencils Yet, still I'm accused with verbal abuse, people obtuse Narrow minds are so damn loose We all have a style homemade or stolen The best are always misunderstood, don't argue 'cause I'm knowing Nothing's wrong or odd about a few commonalities But if you're just a wannabe, don't even bother me I'm just a mix & influenced not a fake or thief, I was never into it I'm nobody but myself & overlooked like clouds You can't accuse me of stealing for resembling a sound with me There's a lot to see I'm not a wannabe of ICP, Brotha Lynch, Eminem of Slipknot Many of you think so, you're dumb with shit-talk Labels & stereotypes make me hit jaws Some of you don't care what ya look or sound like & some of you ain't shit but should be flushed down pipes It's a trait of the hater attitude to speak what you don't know So, until you do shut your fuckin hole I'm not a biter, I'm a fighter burning shit like a lighter I'm not a tracer like you, I'm an original writer Accusations thrown mainly at misfits or mavericks Burning up with envy 'cause you're just average It's no crime to be creative & real To all my outcasts out there I know how ya feel Ya see someone out there who sticks out like a sore thumb Ya make fun 'cause ya don't understand or ain't the 1? We're not what you think read between the lines You find us to be freaks but we find the pride I'll keep my back forever turned on those that don't believe I'll proceed to be the same 'cause I'm all that I can be It's amazing how stereotypical people really are.... you look or sound or act a certain way you get stamped with a fuckin label.... Fuck that! Some Things do need to be labeled but not everything.... But ya know what? I'll proceed to be the same 'cause I'm all that I can be Copying & developing...are 2 different things be original, but a few things in common don't make you a copier I'm me.... what are you?
