omg I loveeee this song :) plus the entire album~ it's just so...amazing. even though LP's style has changed and their experimenting with new stuff, I like it and will support them all the way! I can't help but agree with SusieB's meaning of the song. it makes a lot of sense since some LP fans weren't too happy about the new album. also the lyrics on here are pretty much correct, but here's some edits (I bought the CD + DVD package online and of course it came with the lyrics to all the songs lol. but I gotta give props to the user for getting most of the lyrics right :D):
I am not
A pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminial
Not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not
The fortune and the fame
Nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly
But it can get worse
'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot
I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy
Far from a punk
Y'all ought to stop talking
Start trying to catch up motherf**ker
And all the people say
Oh
Trying to catch up mother**ker
Lauryn said money change a situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step
I ain't the one
Chuck said that UZI weigh a motherf**kin' ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rock in every stage, in every place that it brought me
I'm awfully underrated
But came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistakin', Imma state it for the record
I am the opposite of wack
Opposite of weak
Opposite of slack
Synonym of heat
Synonym of crack
Closest to the peak
Far from a punk
Y'all ought to stop talking
Trying to catch up motherf**ker
And all the people say
Oh
Trying to catch up motherf**ker
Oh
When they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh
When they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh
When they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
And all the people say
Oh
Trying to catch up motherf**ker
And all the people say
Oh
Trying to catch up motherf**ker
