More Than Special

(专辑： extracurricular ACTivity - 2013)

"The whole motivation is just bringing authenticity back to the forefront. Bringing real content, bringing real emotion. The realness. And I'm not talkin about street realness, where it's like "Yo, blah blah blah bap bap bap" Fuck all that. It's about being a real human being."

(Something more than special)
One, two, one, two
Just a little bit more
This is for everybody who thought they were special

I've always been special, see
Especially when compared to those next to me
Teachers always said I could be next to be this or that
But I was lookin for what'd rescue me
Cause what you supposed to do when you know that you don't know?
When you just a kid but you feel so old?
When everybody know you got a side you won't show
And all you wanna do is move but you so froze
In a generation where we all think we so special, what about the ones who really are?
There's too many phonies with cojones
And the gifted know the odds and we stuck in limbo so we lowerin the bar
But I wanna raise it, raise it along with love, children and me and my contemplation
Cause I ain't tryna fade nor taper
Man, I'm tryna shape up, think of all the places we can take us

This feelin in me has got to be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
I can feel it all in my bones, won't leave me alone, it just goes on and on and on
This feelin in me has got to be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
It's all in my soul, won't let me go, it just goes on and on

I ain't tryin be different, I'm tryin make a difference
Yeah, I'm musical but I ain't tryin to be Pippen
I wanna be Mike on the mic in this life where if you ain't tactical then you could get sniped
Like, I wanna teach but don't wanna be a teacher
And I wanna preach but don't wanna be a preacher
Unique creature, my wave in this game tidal
And they in the bleachers so nah, I don't want a feature
I'm just tryna feed ya food for thought so you ain't forced to believe the dominant paradigms of our generation like you got a bag of pair of dimes and just denigrate em right after you penetrate em to levitate your status, yo
Let's be better than the status quo
Cause special has become so average so I wanna be radical
Fuck a habit yo, let's fuck around and have some thoughts that we ain't had before

This feelin in me has got to be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
I can feel it all in my bones, won't leave me alone, it just goes on and on and on
This feelin in me has got to be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
It's all in my soul, won't let me go, it just goes on and on

On and on and on
It goes on and on and on, it goes, it goes
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, it goes, it goes

Yo, I just got this feelin in me
And they don't feel like dealin with me but I can't stop cause the real is in me
And fear is in me but I know that somewhere out there someone's hearin this
See I can't stop, I owe it to that person cause that's worth it
So if they don't recognize, I reckon I just oughta try harder, cause I'm my author
Rooftop, build your own, and if we fall man, at least we flown

This feelin in me has got to be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
I can feel it all in my bones, won't leave me alone, it just goes on and on and on
This feelin in me has got to be something more than special
(Just a little bit more, bit more)
It's all in my soul, won't let me go, it just goes on and on
