Not Your Average Thug--Leehom
I keeps it versatile, cause that's my style
From hip-hop to be-bop
I been with shorties round the world Variety is just my personality
Sometimes I just don't fit in I see open doorways
But no one wants to let me in
Grandma made me understand material things don't make the man
Try to find that inner wealth and learn to love yourself
Lately it's so hard to find peace of mind
I just gotta get away from the hater and the instigators
The mis-conceivers and the non-believers
People don't believe the hype 'cause Leehom ain't no stereotype
No Crystale in the tub Or iced out Spreewell clubs
I'm really not your average thug Not your average gangster
And i won't be defined by the size of my knot But the state of my mind
No Rolex on my wrist Or platinum on my chest
'Cause I don't need that sh to impress
But ya'll don't get it twisted I got love for the ghetto
Tho I'm not your average thug
(Feel me) Lord I been around the world
Singin' near and far
People runnin' game all over
Judgin' me before we meet When they see me on the street
And they don't know a damn thing about me
It's a world of jealousy deceit and envy
Seems like everybody tryin' to take something from me
Grandma made me understand material things don't make the man
So I found that inner wealth and learned to love myself
Lately it's so hard to find peace of mind (lately it's so hard)
I just gotta get away from the hater and the instigators
There's back-stabbers and money grabbers, users and abusers and they all wear smilin' faces
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna snap, and go off up in this place on somebody
I ain't tryin' to say no names, but I ain't tryin' to play no games, holla if you feel me people
Lately it's so hard to find peace of mind, so lift me up in a lonely world that's so unkind
There's back-stabbers and money-grabbers, users and abusers and they all wear smilin' faces
No Crystale in the tub Or iced out Spreewell clubs
I'm really not your average thug Not your average gangster
And i won't be defined by the size of my knot But the state of my mind
No Rolex on my wrist Or platinum on my chest
'Cause I don't need that sh to impress
But ya'll don't get it twisted I got love for the ghetto
Tho I'm not your average thug
( Shorties I just need that ghetto love
Take a dip in my jacuzzi
Don't misjudge me 'cause I'm my own man now
Sometimes I don't even wear no watch
Everybody needs some ghetto love
see, I'm not your average thug)
