[Intro: Shire Sha-Ray]
Ooooh, oooooooh, ooooooooo
Said I'm not the same
Oooooo
Yeah
Not the same, not the same (Noooo)
[Verse 1: Kanye West & Shire Sha-Ray]
I hear the girls scream soon as we arrivin'
You can ask Ivan, we be straight mackin'
Y'all work at IBM, hotels they be in
Ooh la la, tres bien magnifique
Any street, life before this is hard
Not like the any beat
Now he on a sandy beach
Mix drink, sandy peach
Mixed bitch, and she a freak
Ooh la, oui oui, I'm like Jet magazine
And that's my beauty other week
If you talkin' 'bout marriage, you mean multi-million heiress
Probably heritage, probably heritage
Probably leave up, probably Mexician I'm leave up
Probably Chinese up, I'm gone tell the ero
And we can have a tiger woods, if you ain't scared yo
I know all my shooties gone be super heros
How could they not?
Their father is the black Bruce Wayne
Only shorty in preschool rockin' two chains
Tellin' them lil' niggas he is not the same, he is not the same (Not the same, not the same)
[Chorus: Shire Sha-Ray]
You gotta know I'm so many gaze ahead of you
You think you know, but you don't really have a clue
I'm not the same (I'm on another level)
I changed the game (So put the pedal to the metal)
You gotta know I'm so much more in face of you
I graduated years ago, you still school
I had my time (You're so many haters)
You stuckin' to pay (You're so updated)
I'm not the same
[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
When nobody would find he had talent, nobody would sign me
Nobody believed in me, nobody but Mommy, blindly
But how can she deny me?
Me being the youngest runt to come up outta her tummy
She got nothing but love for me
When niggas would one me, the industry shunned me
That's why I'm taking all the industry's money
Revenge is sweet honey, we run this
Young is the illest, Free is the future
Beans and Bleek is right now, we can see y'all, eight miles, nigga
I taught 'em 'bout fishscale, they want me to fish for them
They want me to catch clean then cook up a dish for them
All of this just for them or they got a diss for him
They want me to disappear like it's gon' shift for them
They say that I'm in the way, they want me to sit for them
But what they admitting is they ain't got shit for him
And really the fact is, we not in the same bracket
Not in the same league, don't shoot at the same baskets
Don't pay the same taxes, hang with the same bitches
So how am I in the way, what is it I'm missing?
[Chorus: Shire Sha-Ray]
Not the same, not the same
You gotta know I'm so many gaze ahead of you
You think you know, but you don't really have a clue
I'm not the same (I'm on another level)
I changed the game (So put the pedal to the metal)
You gotta know I'm so much more in face of you
I graduated years ago, you still school
I had my time (You're so many haters)
You stuckin' to pay (You're so updated)
I'm not the same
[Verse 3: JAY-Z, Kanye West & Shire Sha-Ray]
Nigga I been missing, nigga I been gone
The shit that you just witnessing I been on
And as for the critics, tell me I don't get it
Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it
Now these niggas is mad, oh, they call me a Camel
But I mastered the drought, what the fuck I'm an animal
Half man half mammal, my sign is a Sag
This is just what I planned to do
On the bathroom wall I wrote
"I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else"
You weren't perfect, but you made life worth it
Stick around, some real feelings might surface
Been a long time since I spoke to you in a bathroom
Grippin' you up, fuckin' and chokin' you
What the hell was I supposed to do?
I know you ain't gettin' this type of dick from that local dude
And if you are, I hope you have a good time
'Cause I definitely be havin' mine (Not the same, not the same)
[Chorus: Shire Sha-Ray]
You gotta know I'm so many gaze ahead of you
You think you know, but you don't really have a clue
I'm not the same (I'm on another level)
I changed the game (So put the pedal to the metals)
You gotta know I'm so much more in face of you
I graduated years ago, you still school
I'm not the same (Not the same, not the same)
