Different Lyrics

Yo, yo, yo, why you looking at me?
Why you looking at me?
Why you looking at me?
Why you looking at me?
Come on, tell 'em Jade
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People look at me wrong 'cos I
Hate women that wanna be other women
Since they won I never fit in
I'm a rock the world with no games or gimmicks
Plan on winning ain't no limits

You hear it all in my sentence going
Shock up the world with something new and improved
Ain't stoppin' I'm makin' moves
No choices then I'm a choose
They can tell me to stop but it's obvious I'm gonna go
They say yes I say no you hear it all in my flow
This is young America steering you in your area, area
Do what I want and that's period
I get up and put on what I feel like putting on
When I don't blend in people look at me like something wrong
As if I'm crazy, strange, weird or throwed off
New chick driving fast in a old car
I'm still pimpin', still pimpin' just tryin' make a living
From the end to the beginning
It's a damn shame when you stick out thinking you insane
Rock everything from name brand to hand made
This is my life this is who I am I will not escape
Don't want a piece of the pie I just want a bigger plate
I'm just tryin' live and watch how the plot thickens
Ain't no problem 'cos everybody's just a little different
Open your ears and eyes and make the world listen
Be an original individual is my mission
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People is gon' stare, gon' hate, gon' talk
But never will they expose what they doing in the dark
If you don't give a shit but you know you got it together, fuck it
They gotta put you down to make they-self feel better
Black or white, dark brown or light
Short, thin and small, thick, big or tall
And I think it's a mess we judged on how we dress
How many cars we got, how many bitches we pop
If a nigga got girls then he considered the pro
But if a girl got niggas then she considered the hoe
And if a white person hang around blacks he a wigga
And if a black person hang around whites he a nigga
And if we try to make it out the ghetto we a sell-out
Pressure gets so deep at times I wanna yell out
This shit is crazy it's time we take a stand
Focus on ourselves and stop worrying about the next man
It's your prerogative tight pants are sagging
Can't please 'em all with a hotter poppin' of has-beens
It's just the world we live in that amaze me
People claim they real but most of them must feel gazy
Quick to judge when they so artificial
Shit it's obvious I guess people just got some issues
Counterfeit and crazy, so shady
What else can I say, I'm just a different kinda lady
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to really call me ugly?
You don't even know the half
You don't even know the half
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to really call me ugly?
You don't even know the half
You don't even know the half
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to really call me ugly?
You don't even know the half
You don't even know the half
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to really call me ugly?
You don't even know the half
You don't even know the half
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
'Cos I talk different, 'cos I walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
Talk different, walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen
People look at me wrong 'cos I dress different
Talk different, walk different
People look at me wrong, think I'm so different
Wear my hair different, make the world listen

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sage Francis

Paul "Sage" Francis (born November 18, 1976 in Miami, Florida) is a hip-hop artist based in Providence, Rhode Island.

Noted for his intense flow and sharp wit, Francis has won acclaim both as a freestyle battler and as an unapologetic, intellectual lyricist. Francis uses a broad emotional palette to address a wide range of personal, cultural, and political issues. His unconventional style and persona have given him crossover appeal, but at the same time alienated some hip-hop listeners.

Prior to embarking on a full-time career as an MC, Francis displayed his skills in slam poetry. During the late 1990s, he recorded his first demo tape (1996), fronted the now defunct Providence hip-hop band Art Official Intelligence, and hosted a weekly slot on independent radio station WRIU (the "True School Session"). He also formed the Non-Prophets and released a 12” (Drop Bass/Bounce/I Keep Calling, Emerge Records, 1999), following up in 2003 with their first full-length offering, Hope. Francis is a contemporary of underground hip-hop artists such as SLuG, Eyedea, Sole and the anticon. collective. He is also loosely affiliated with the vague underground hip-hop super-group The Orphanage.

As a solo performer, Francis won the MC battle at the 2000 Scribble Jam, and in 2001 he came close to repeating as champion (semi-finalist) while performing as his "metal" alter ego, "Xaul Zan". Francis released his first proper solo album, Personal Journals, on Anticon. in 2002. He toured with a live band on the Live Band Dead Poet Tour to support it. Francis subsequently became the first hip-hop artist to sign with punk label Epitaph, agreeing to a three-album deal. His first album for Epitaph, A Healthy Distrust, was released in early 2005 and was followed up with Human the Death Dance in 2007.

One of Francis' best-known tracks is "Makeshift Patriot", a commentary on the American media recorded one month after the September 11, 2001 attacks which he released on the internet as an MP3 as well as a limited edition 7" single.

In February 2005 Sage dropped his second full length album on the originally punk label Epitaph, it was widely regarded as the best underground hip hop album of the year by critics and fans alike and featured heavily political tracks such as "The Buzz Kill" and "Slow Down Gandhi" and more personal material like that more similar to that of his debut 'Personal Journals' such as 'Bridle' and a few heavily satirical comments on the modern day rap and urban scene such as the satirical comment on youth gun culture 'Gunz Yo'.

Sage has helped to set up the Wiki KnowMore.org which is described as a 'way to keep tabs on the some of the biggest and most dangerous businesses in the world'. He is a vegetarian and also chooses to abstain from drugs and drinking, though doesn't label himself as "straight-edge" because he believes "you shouldn't define yourself by what you don't do."

Sage has set up his own label and signed some of who he claims to be his favorite artists of the moment such as Buck 65 and Proplyphic and Reanimator named Strange Famous (which shares his initials) with which he released his most recent work 'Human the Death Dance'

This album was released in May 2007 and takes a step away from the heavily political 'Healthy Distrust' and heads back to the more personal lyrics of 'Personal Journals' and comments on modern culture. The album features cameos from many Strange Famous artists such as Buddy Wakefield, Buck 65 and Reanimator.

In 2010 Sage released his fourth full length album Li(f)e (the title coming from the famous quote from 'The Cure' on the Non-Prophets album Hope "Life is just a lie with an f in it and death is definite"). The album was extremely well received and one particular single off of the album 'The Best Of Times' received extensive air play on the popular British radio station Radio 1. After Sages Li(f)e tour Sage has stated that he will no longer be doing tours but will still be releasing albums and other materials, instead he will be doing select gigs throughout each year.
