Alternate Breed Songtext
von ANoyd

Yeah
I wonder why I ain′t take the easy way out 'cause
It was all mapped out for me before I was even born
People hearing me for insight on they
Lives kept me from making obtuse choices
They ask me, "What pushed you to be an alternate breed?"
I tell ′em just because I fit the description
Doesn't mean the description fits me
Yeah, look

I wonder why I ain't take the easy way out

Pressure to the cool, I could′ve went the street route
Down the street from it

My first job I pocketed daily three hundred illegally
And a paycheck weekly
Green paper made it human nature
To need more of it all for bad behavior
Freedom and danger still
Go through mom jackets for dollars inside receipts


Only thing ′bout needing more of it, needing it makes you weak
You bought clothes for the fellas to notice your wardrobe
To get jumped down the road

Heart rate replicated alphabet in Morse code
Could be going towards the light when you walking towards home
The records of war shown demon
Impossible the pressure on eternal bleeding
You could put a price on product but not a price on freedom
Same bricks, same concrete, different people in the hospital

Same ventilator we breathe through

Rushing to advice, being accepted by nobody
That's doing nothing with they life does
Nothing for your life
That gangster shit ain′t cool no more
The tough guy ain't popular in school no more
After graduating they was deleting in each way
I was friends with people ′cause I seen 'em every weekday, right?
I made a choice and peer pressure couldn′t hold me
I just wanna be the proof the street path ain't the only for us, yeah


I wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I'm still hella nervous
Thankful for the choices that I made
Wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I′m still hella nervous, yeah
Thankful for the choices that I made

It′s obvious why I took the difficult way, the non-statistical way
'Cause people look at me as the hope to get out this place
I was blessed more when I took more minutes to pray throughout the day
Haven′t become a father 'cause I got
A lil′ brother and sister to raise
No killing people 'cause I got more lives to save, not take
I made peace with my broken pieces
Loving parts of myself people don′t solely agree with
Wish my grandma could see this, I know you could still look
Kids putting my raps as they quote in the yearbook

And a brother telling me that I helped him escape cancer
Because I DM'd him back and he thought I wouldn't answer
Sent him a paragraph to push hard and pray through

And months go by, he say, "I′m free ′cause of you"
Wait, look

Had to let that line breathe since God gave me the keys, I believe
I truly am an alternate breed
Never waited for circumstances to change my scene
That's like waiting for God to bless you with no work in between, uh

No waiting for consent, notice your inner being, uh
The path that I chose made paths for my bros
Made a ass out my foes being glass in the road
I hate shortcuts, the journey shouldn′t be rushed
I wanna mentally be there before my body show up, yeah

I wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I'm still hella nervous
Thankful for the choices that I made
Wanna serve my purpose
Thankful for the choices that I made
I′m still hella nervous, yeah
Thankful for the choices that I made
