[Intro – chopped vocal sample: “cut from… cut from…”]
I ain’t who I am 'cause of comfort...
I’m who I am 'cause of everything I walked through.

[Verse 1]
I was made in the fire, I ain’t melt though
Told the pain “what’s up,” turned it into a tempo
Ran through storms, ain’t break, just bent slow
Now I shine different, pressure got the best glow
They ain't cut like me, I see it in they stance
Built my pride where they folded in advance
I ain’t had much, but I had hands
Fought for peace, then prayed over plans
Mama cried over bills, I turned that into fuel
Pops ain’t there, so I played both roles in school
Ain’t a chain on my neck that could tell my worth
I'm diamonds in dirt, not designer shirts
---
[Hook – gritty tone with slight melody]
I’m cut from a different cloth, stitched in pain
Built from the ground, in the cold, in the rain
Ain’t no cosigns, just my name
Made my own lane, blood in the frame
Different cloth, not the kind you fold
They sag, I stand — even heavy, I hold
They flex for likes, I flex what I know
That I ain’t supposed to shine — but I still glow
---
[Verse 2]
Look, I ain’t just rap, I’m survival in beats
Every bar’s a scar that learned how to speak
I done starved, I done hustled, I done bled for peace
Told 'em I’m him, and I said it with heat
I don’t follow codes, I rewrite 'em with pain
Used to plot moves in the back of a train
Now I speak gems while they stunt in chains
Difference is — I earned what they entertain
Grew up too fast, learned slow love
Hard trust, deep cuts, no gloves
You see stats, I see stats and souls
Every L taught me where not to go

[Hook Repeat – layered ad-libs & reverb]
I’m cut from a different cloth, stitched in pain
Built from the ground, in the cold, in the rain
Ain’t no cosigns, just my name
Made my own lane, blood in the frame
Different cloth, not the kind you fold
They sag, I stand — even heavy, I hold
They flex for likes, I flex what I know
That I ain’t supposed to shine — but I still glow
---
[Outro – no drums, just keys + vocals fade out]
Different don’t need a tag.
It just gotta last.
