(Hook) We used to be different, now everyone’s different the same Wearin' “weird” like it’s Gucci—now it’s part of the game Never aimed for the center, now the center comes near I’m the circle in the square, now they’re all here (Verse 1) I was the outlaw with a sock over shoes Now I see my clones ridin’ every school bus route Back then, being odd was still rare in the scene Now “quirky” is a stencil like a horse with a mustache meme I was the pickle in a jar of plain gherkins Now everyone’s sippin’ that same taste on purpose Style used to be a gamble, against time and regime Now it’s vintage—on sale at your H&M stream (Pre-Hook) They talk ‘bout being real in a house of glass Screamin’ “I’m unique!” while they copy-paste fast I’m the algorithm glitch that somehow runs You make TikToks on being different—bro, that’s no fun (Hook) We used to be different, now everyone’s different the same Wearin' “weird” like it’s Gucci—now it’s part of the game Never aimed for the center, now the center comes near I’m the circle in the square, now they’re all here (Verse 2) They dance to a beat I deleted back then I was the glitch in the Matrix—y’all became my backup men Post-irony like a tattoo on your throat Sayin’ “It’s just for laughs” – bro, you’re dead serious though Got my style from a secondhand stack Now it’s a “limited drop” in an Insta ad pack You’re meta on meta, but that ain’t legit I’m the last filterless face that still fits (Pre-Hook) I walk through the crowd like a shadow in neon Wanna be different? Try bein’ not-a-clone I’m the joke no one gets—but they all pretend No one asks what’s real—just why it trends (Hook) We used to be different, now everyone’s different the same Wearin' “weird” like it’s Gucci—now it’s part of the game Never aimed for the center, now the center comes near I’m the circle in the square, now they’re all here (Outro – spoken/laid-back) Never meant to fit in—but now everything fits me. Normal got broken—and sold off in series. You’re different? Cool. Like the rest of the pack. Welcome to the new standard—being “weird” is the new black.
