Different Road ft. J Mac Lyrics

We choose a different road yo/original is how we roll

It's just so typical of how easy it is/ to lose your soul

Love for the lyrics/ has gone

We're about the music/ that's how we live on live on

We choose a different road yo/original is how we roll

It's just so typical of how easy it is/ to lose your soul

The poetry/ using their own flows

Kee it real for ourselves, and not the fool's gold fools gold

Yo, why do we as artists/ have to feel like we won't make it

If we ain't dead or have them hoes/ in videos half naked

Or having cash and bling/ so I could throw it in your face

It's a disgrace/ cause I rap and don't even own a thing what?

I ain't no trippin gangsta/ and I've never held a gat

I'm a regular struggling joe/ whose spittin blue collar rap

So why is it you artists/ take the easy grab 'n' cash/

You ain't changing hip-hop/ you're keeping the circle latched

Why is it so hard/ to go another path/

My idols took different roads/ to make it better rap

I'm sick and tired of feeling/ that I gotta sell my soul

So I'll hit the airwaves/ that's nowhere near my goal

There's no way I'll sell myself/ just to please everybody

I don't need phat rides/ or show off my cash and honey's

Busting free from these chains/ being real to my name

I don't care about the fame/ I just want to make a change

We choose a different road yo/original is how we roll

It's just so typical of how easy it is/ to lose your soul

Love for the lyrics/ has gone

We're about the music/ that's how we live on live on

We choose a different road yo/original is how we roll

It's just so typical of how easy it is/ to lose your soul

The poetry's/ owning they own flows

Keep it real for ourselves, not the fool's gold fools gold

We choose a different road yo/ different road

Not the way we wanna go oh/ wanna go

Gonna do it our way/ with our mind and flow

It's gonna be original/ oh for sho

I'ma get into your hearts and ya'll is gonna see

How I change you/ just like resurrection had changed me

Teary eyed for a soul/ that be riding in the sky

Changed my view on rap/ so I'll be real till I die

Love for the lyrics/ has gone

We're about the music/ that's how we'll live on live on

The poetry's/ owning they own flows

Keep it real for ourselves, and not the fool's gold fools gold

God damn the sham/ of the streets have got us hearin

And I'm fearin at the way as we know/ hip-hops disappearin

No explosion, but implosion/ and you know that's what we're seein

So we're bringin this to you/ cause we know you'll stop the feeding of the beast

Why are we all alone/ on this open road

Where do we go/ I don't know

Why don't have more choice/ in where we go it's all/ who you know

We do it on our own
