Not Like Them

Verse 1
Walked in late
But I own this place
Heads turn quick
I don’t know their names
Lip gloss sharp
Like a warning sign
They copy each other
I edit the design

Pre-Chorus
They talk talk talk
’Bout the same old things
I flip that script
Turn the boring into bling
Why would I blend
When I came to bend the rules
I don’t fit in
I’m allergic to their cool (hey!)

Chorus
I’m not like them
Can’t box me in
I don’t chase trends
I just set them
If you don’t get it
You’re not my friend
I’m not like them
Not like them
I’m too loud when they pretend
Too real
They just pretend
If you don’t get it
You’re not my friend
I’m not like them
Not like them

Verse 2
Two-step clean
On a crowded floor
I miss one beat
Come back wanting more
Flash that grin
Like a dare
Like a sin
You play by rules
I rewrite the win

Pre-Chorus
They scroll scroll scroll
For a borrowed glow
I light my own
From the inside out
It shows
Why would I dim
Just to make them feel tall
If I’m “too much”
Then you’re not enough at all (oh yeah)

Chorus
I’m not like them
Can’t box me in
I don’t chase trends
I just set them
If you don’t get it
You’re not my friend
I’m not like them
Not like them
Too loud when they pretend
Too real
They just pretend
If you don’t get it
You’re not my friend
I’m not like them
Not like them

Bridge
Hands up high
If you feel offbeat
If you stand too bright
For a back-row seat
We don’t blend
We clash
We’re the wrong kind right
All the “too much” kids
Living big tonight (hey!)

Chorus
I’m not like them
Can’t box me in
I don’t chase trends
I just set them
If you don’t get it
You’re not my friend
I’m not like them
Not like them
Too loud when they pretend
Too real
They just pretend
If you don’t get it
You’re not my friend
I’m not like them
Not like them
