Riff:  C#5   C5

Verse 1:
I am not a pattern to be followed 
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow

I am not the fortune and the fame
Nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems

And it seems ugly, but it can get worse,
Cause even the blueprint is a gift and a curse
Cause once you got the theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first

Pre-Chorus 1:
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Y'all ought to stop talking, start trying to catch up mother f***er

Chorus 1: 
And all the people say
Aaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah
Try to catch up mother f***er
Aaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah 

Verse 2:
Lauryn said money changes situations
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step, I ain't the one
Chuck said that uzi weigh a mother f***ing ton

And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that it brought me
I'm awfully underrated, but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken I'ma state it for the record

Pre-Chorus 2:
I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak
Opposite of slack, synonym of heat
Synonym of crack, closest to a peak
Far from a punk
Y'all ought to stop talking, start trying to catch up mother f***er

Chorus 1:
And all the people say
Aaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah
Try to catch up mother f***er
Aaaaaaaah aaaaaaaah
