Born II Be Different


Loco

Recommended Posts

I was born in Russia, 7th January 1987,
A poor place was my home but for me it was like heaven,
In any case for the first time,
Cos’ rain should fall down on me, just 6 years the sun shined!
As I was 6 years old I learned that I’m wrong at this place,
Cos’ I felt I was a Russian but than I had to face,
The fact that I wasn’t and than I got discriminated,
Buy my so called friends, they start to punch me in my face!
I asked my momma why they did, she said listen kid,
She told me about history and all this ****s,
But I didn’t understand cos’ I was just six,
Than she said you and this country, it won’t fit!
I thought why the hell it won’t, cos’ I’m a Russian,
But after this sentence I understood the discussion,
She said next year germany’s the place we’ll livin’,
And when you older son you will know why you’re different!

Hook:2x

We’re foreigners, for natives, but in Russia we’re wrong,
We ain’t got a place a country that we can call our home,
We’re not welcome in this country, we’re history’s victims,
But we’re gonna live our life, cos’ we’re Born II Be Different!

2.nd Verse

Arrived in Germany, I thought that’s my home,
Cos’ momma told me so. But is that my home?
First I didn’t know cos’ everything was strange, kinda alarming,
And than I thought o.k., now life starting!
But we still had no home gotta live in a camp,
A camp for foreigners, but I didn’t give a damn,
I was just looking forward, to meet life time buddies,
But I didn’t know this language, so first I had to study.
And than finally arrived in the town I’m living now,
I learned to speak their language, I was ready to meet pals!
Right I met some but they were not like my pals in Russia,
They got other hobbies, not like mines so all of them were suckers,
And that was the point as I thought life is ****ty,
I hung around wit’ Russian man I did hate this city,
The German peoples, german food, although German air,
I just wished to die and hoped lord will take me there!

3.rd Verse

Now days it is not different, I’m still them same person,
But I’ve grown up a little bit, I know more about the world and,
My life got much more mind, cos’ live wit’ changing times,
Can handle wit’ this problems, I salve’em trough my rhymes,
Got a circle of friends, real friends I mean,
Friends that tellin’ truth, friends against I can lean,
Friends that help when I feel bad, friends that cheer up I feel sad,
Friend I haven’t got back than friends who fill this gap.
And I got hip hop, it is always there for me,
It doesn’t matter where I am, hip hop always care for me,
When I search for sum’ questions, hip hop got ‘em no doubt,
So always when I’m down, I lay back and chill to hip-hop sound!
And the main fact I got now is my heart and soul,
My girlfriend, biggest love I’ve got, helps me to control,
My thoughts and acts, without her I was just an immigrant,
she makes me feel I’m similar, although I’m born to be different!

It's a great song, I like it when people tell a story about their lives in their songs, it just makes it have more feeling to it! :thumb:

I totally agree wit bigted. But I have a mind of my own. lol. I loved how u opened it. I've wrote numerous songs/lines around my life. And I mean personal personal. The Suicide y'all read is definately one. Maybe I'll go thru em and list em.

And the end was great. When I started 2 read the song, I was like "Hold up, I thought this guy I was German?!?" Then I kept readin and was like "Oh". Great material man. U've made a great impact in the numero uno thread.

Holla,
thank u!!!
Its straight from da heart, as i was writing it i thought should i do it, cos' there a lot of people who don't care about those trax. But than again i thought i don't give a **** cos' i do it for me and not for anybody else. thats what i learned from Fresh Prince, do what you wanna do, don't care about what others thinkin bout u.

As i came to germany i was 7, and got no one to talk wit' or to play wit' it was 1994 and Boom, Shake the room was still runnin' on MTV, and i thought this guy is really cool, since that point i'm a JJ FP fan fo' life. and wit' 10 i start to rap first in german and now since 4 years in english.

but guys like you make me keep doin this ****.
