Different - Riz MC

Riz MC:

'Scuse me boss, pardon me

Nah don’t mind me, I’m usually lost

Hard to see

'Cause of the fool with less teeth

Dudes that froth, bark and preach

Thugs that want to spray their nine-piece

And the usual crop of wannabes

All gettin' away and hide me from public view

I’m not included

In any scene as a useful unit

Hybrid or tea, gets low YouTube hits

We do, don’t know what to do with him

From ghetto, went to a top uni

my pops and rave like a looney

Paki till I drop

UK till I lose it

Never fittin' in, let the beat prove it

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

Riz MC:

Never roll with a crew or part of a scene

Or taught what to do 'cause they planted my seeds

In a faultline, so my parts in between

But they fear my becoming what they asked me to be

Took me a while to face this, get to know me but then not change it

I used to be like a social chameleon

But now I don’t blend in, blatant

Track suit for de House of Commons, three-piece-suit in a rave den

My first song got banned, I change dem

'Cause growin' up between the road and the rich racists, you never know whatcha

place is

There wasn’t one, so I made it

Wembley, Oxford, English, Asian

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

Riz MC:

Remember when I first arrived and they burst their eyes

Lookin' at me like I’d never survive

The tuxedos and bow ties

Sayin', «You remind me of Ali G, no lie!»

Remember the month before my bro went to war

Another world with blood on the floor

Bottles, knives, guns, raw

They rushed me so we hit the mall

Remember my first premiere: «Bruv, you’re on telly, yeah?»

And all the reviews was sick

But all my parents cared about was I was swearin'

None of that hype was shit

But in the end, yo, I made them proud

And alla them snobs are ravers now

The man they kicked off the got dropped

And the youth that they bashed is famous now

Like wow!

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha

(Down with it)

They stay the same

We stay different, hahaha
