Can’t Compare

[Intro]
(Jah, heat it up)
Don't try to play me like no rat, boy, 'cause I ain't no motherfuckin' rat
I still be runnin' with them niggas they get at
Why they doing all that actin'?
Knowing they ain't no motherfuckin' actor
Knew I was scared when I watched my brother serve the pastor

[Verse 1]
I used to want to be a star, 'til I seen the shit that came with it
I been tryna tell them niggas, they ain't get it
And they say jit been actin' different
I don't know why the fame did this
I'm just tryna remain humble, I done see it change niggas
You know they'd rather see you stumble
You can fall, but don't fumble
A lil' stubborn motherfuckеr, I owe it all to my mother
Anything happen bound to happеn, I know it's karma
So I ain't tripping on my day, bitch, I'm okay, I know what's coming

[Chorus]
So just tell me what you owe me and remember what you told me
I'm a soldier, I'm just waitin' on the day I see my trophy
And I ain't talking 'bout no Grammy, nigga, I'm just bein' honest
That shit can't compare to my granny, nigga, only one that understand me
If I don't show it, now you know that I'm grateful for where I'm at
Give a fuck 'bout a gold plaque, that shit can't bring my niggas back
And I'm just bein' honest, nigga
We still shinin', nigga, motherfuck them diamonds
Shit ain't helpin' with these problems I got

[Verse 2]
Other day, I checked my DM, nigga asked me where my chains at
I still got 'em 'cause I don't wear 'em, what's the problem?
I'm a real nigga with 'em, I'm a real nigga without 'em
Rather be the one to set the trend, you know the real niggas don't follow
Might pull up back-to-back and pop him
Send a nigga to get a plate from his bopper
Make sure you get away, hit the interstate
And let the fish bait on them choppers
I wasn't this way as a toddler
When Auntie Cent was making my bottle
When Uncle Tony was my father
Tried not to let a lot of shit bother me
Ain't gotta post my every move, lil' bitch, I'm cool, they ain't gotta see us
Knew the same nigga from the school, that's how I got it
Okay, I seen lil' dude doin' what he do but they ain't hot as me
When I ain't rapping, I'm in the city tryna get the bills to shadow me

[Chorus]
So just tell me what you owe me and remember what you told me
I'm a soldier, I'm just waitin' on the day I see my trophy
And I ain't talking 'bout no Grammy, nigga, I'm just bein' honest
That shit can't compare to my granny, nigga, only one that understand me
If I don't show it, now you know that I'm grateful for where I'm at
Give a fuck 'bout a gold plaque, that shit can't bring my niggas back
And I'm just bein' honest, nigga
We still shinin', nigga, motherfuck them diamonds
Shit ain't helpin' with these problems I got
