[INTRO — spoken] You wanna know the difference between you and me? It's actually pretty simple. You destroy. I create. [VERSE 1] You walk into a room looking for something to control. I walk into the same room wondering what I can build. You need somebody underneath you just to feel like you stand tall. I don't need to make a man feel small to know exactly who I am. That's the difference. You take your pain and spread it around. I take mine and turn it into sound. You need destruction just to feel something change. I built something beautiful out of everything that gave me pain. [HOOK] You destroy. I create. You tear it all down. I make something great. You spend your whole life looking for somebody to blame. I took everything that broke me and gave that shit a name. You destroy. I create. That's the difference between you and me. You need control just to feel like you're free. I don't control shit I create what I need. [VERSE 2] You think anger makes you dangerous? Nah. Anger without discipline just makes you predictable. I know rage. I've looked that motherfucker dead in the eyes. Difference is I made mine useful. Put it in a verse. Put it in a beat. Put it in every fucking scar that ever tried to bury me. I didn't hand my damage to somebody else to hold. I built with it. That's how you turn pain into gold. But you? You break shit then point at the pieces. Find another excuse every time the story needs one. Everybody else is always the reason. Everybody else is always wrong. Man, you've been fighting everybody so long you never noticed you're the common fucking problem. [HOOK] You destroy. I create. You tear it all down. I make something great. You spend your whole life looking for somebody to blame. I took everything that broke me and gave that shit a name. You destroy. I create. That's the difference between you and me. You need control just to feel like you're free. I don't control shit I create what I need. [VERSE 3 — colder] See, we both got scars. That's why your excuses don't work on me. We both know anger. We both know loss. We both know what it's like when life comes collecting the cost. But that's where the similarities stop. You let pain become permission to tear everything apart. I let pain become the reason I started making art. You looked at your darkness and gave it somebody to blame. I looked at mine and said, "What can I make?" That's strength. Not volume. Not intimidation. Not needing everybody around you to validate your frustration. Strength is taking everything that could've made you bitter and building something with it. [BEAT CUT] You destroy. I create. Four words. That's all it takes. [FINAL VERSE] So keep breaking shit if that's all that you know. Keep pointing fingers everywhere that you go. Keep calling it strength while your whole world decays. I'll be over here building something better every day. Every scar a sentence. Every loss a page. Every ounce of anger something I can create. You wanna know why we'll never be the same? You need somebody else to suffer to validate your pain. Me? I don't need that. Never did. Give me the wreckage. Give me the hurt. Give me every fucking thing that you think makes life worse. I'll take what was meant to put me in the grave and create. [OUTRO] That's the difference. You leave things worse than you found them. I don't. You destroy. I create. And that tells me everything I need to know about you.
