More Than Special

"The whole motivation is just
Bringing authenticity back
To the forefront bringing real content
Bringing real emotion the realness and I’m
Not talkin about
Street realness, where it’s like "Yo
Blah blah blah bap bap bap" Fuck all that
It’s about being a real human being"

(Something more than special)
One, two, one, two just a little bit more
This is for everybody who
Thought they were special

I’ve always been special, see
Especially when compared to those next to me
Teachers always said I could be next
To be this or that
But I was lookin for what’d rescue me
Cause what you supposed to do when
You know that you don’t know?
When you just a kid but you feel so old?
When everybody know you got a
Side you won’t show
And all you wanna do is move but you so froze
In a generation where we all
Think we so special
What about the ones who really are?
There’s too many phonies wit cojones
And the gifted know the odds and we stuck
In limbo so we lowerin the bar
But I wanna raise it, raise
It along with love
Children and me and my contemplation
Cause I ain't tryna fade nor taper
Man, I’m tryna shape up
Think of all the places we can take us

This feelin in me has got to
Be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
I can feel it all in my
Bones, won’t leave me alone
It just goes on and on and on
This feelin in me has got to
Be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
It’s all in my soul, won’t let me go
It just goes on and on

I ain’t tryin be different
I’m tryin make a difference
Yeah, I’m musical but I ain’t
Tryin to be Pippen
I wanna be Mike on the mic in this life where
If you ain't tactical then
You could get sniped
Like, I wanna teach but don’t
Wanna be a teacher
And I wanna preach but don’t
Wanna be a preacher
Unique creature, my wave in this game tidal
And they in the bleachers so nah
I don’t want a feature
I’m just tryna feed ya food for
Thought so you ain't forced
To believe the dominant paradigms of
Our generation like you got a bag of pair of
Dimes and just denigrate em
Right after you penetrate em
To levitate your status, yo
Let’s be better than the status quo
Cause special has become so average
So I wanna be radical fuck a habit yo
Let’s fuck around and have some thoughts
That we ain't had before

This feelin in me has got to
Be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
I can feel it all in my
Bones, won’t leave me alone
It just goes on and on and on
This feelin in me has got to
Be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
It’s all in my soul, won’t let me go
It just goes on and on

On and on and on
It goes on and on and on, it goes, it goes
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, it goes, it goes

Yo, I just got this feelin in me
And they don’t feel like dealin wit me but I
Can’t stop cause the real is in me
And fear is in me but I know
That somewhere out there
Someone’s hearin this see I can’t stop
I owe it to that person cause that’s worth it
So if they don’t recognize, I reckon
I just oughta try harder
Cause I’m my author
Rooftop, build your own, and if we fall man
At least we flown

This feelin in me has got to
Be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
I can feel it all in my
Bones, won’t leave me alone
It just goes on and on and on
This feelin in me has got to
Be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
It’s all in my soul, won’t let me go
It just goes on and on
