A Quote That Hits Home

"I understand some's off 'bout me, but nuttin's forced 'bout me
I never gave a fuck of what a nigga thought 'bout me.
(Oh!) I look down upon what some see as a must
Maybe I'm regular an' the World needs to adjust.
I mean I'm everyday people, hood, but still formal
I'm normally abnormal, takin' life as a lesson." - Joe Budden "Just To Be Different"

As I was coming home, I was listening to this song and this verse stuck out.

Coming up I had my phases that I went through.
But as time went on, I outgrew them. Still I heard whispers of just wanting to be different was
a looked upon as a bad thing. But now being different is "cool."
