[Verse 1] It’s hard to blend in but it’s easy to stand out When you got wild ideas and don’t care what they shout Got a crew now that I secretly doubt ’Cause they waste all the time that I used to spend on myself And normies just wanna play safe They chill when the clock hits five, call it a day But my clock’s another beast, 24/7 renegade They begging for small talk, Netflix and chill I like to chase chaos, I really fucking do But I can’t slow my roll just ’cause the pack wants me too And now I’m just an oddball bastard Like my homie said, one throne, two masters Got a fourth one screaming inside my skull Little gremlin yelling “break the rules, be brutal” And he never shuts up, keeps pushing the button Weirdness pairs perfect with the fire and the vision So I, zone out on the regular Rare that I’m the end-of-night regular God damn, I’m a glorious mess Maybe that’s why the sheep stay fucking depressed [Chorus] I’m built different Yeah, I’m built different To the status quo, I’m built different Call the clones, they’ll probably say I’m built different [Verse 2] My vibe just ain’t what the timeline expects ’Cause I ghost the trends since I hit my teens And stupidly I keep on dodging the sheep My lungs full of fresh air, no filter, no leash It messes with how I move in the scene I hit playback, hear the herd wheeze between the lines I could probably fit if I dumbed it down clear But my middle finger flies soon as the groupthink appears And every damn year I got the same resolution January third I’m already breaking the illusion The gremlin’s a chaotic nuisance Who sips rebellion while he two-steps on the blueprint [Bridge] I never wanted to run with the pack Didn’t want to fade into that everyday track But my formula’s something they can’t touch ’Cause I come through in the clutch, come through in the clutch I’m too much for you ducks to clutch I’m illustrious I’m a bad motherfucker and I truly believe that But I cut some ties to achieve that Like the group chats and the likes, they don’t ping me no more ’Cause when they hit send I was already ignoring I was always self-locked in my own orbit Absorbing the strange till there’s no room for the boring And I don’t chase the approval enough I don’t value the sheep’s company enough Human sameness is the opposite of freedom I believe, and that’s what I’m rapping to own And I never sold out ’cause I’m in love with this shit Being different and the grind—something that comes with this shit When you live for yourself it’s a solo existence And if you talk to the mirror, you’re the only one listening [Outro] And that about sums it up I’m out of excuses and I really want another cup Of chaos, so I’m out to the edge I guess That’s where I go when the world’s fucking obsessed I’m built different
