Story behind the song & video:
This song is about all of those who don't fit in to what society wants you to. Whether it be music, life, work, school etc. It's about the struggle to remain true to who you are and un-tampered with while struggling with all of the temptations to conform.
Symbols in the video:
During the hook, the artist Playa Rae is blind folded and tied up. This is symbolic of the internal struggles artists deal with regarding their art form and not being accepted for who they are but struggling to stay the course to stay true to themselves and what they believe.
During KFV's verse you see a dramatic change in scenery and a beautiful female (Melicious out of San Jose) with him. She symbolizes the temptation. Temptations to give in to everything the industry tells you means "success"...money, women, jewelry, cars and more.
Th3y Say I'm different/
Not the same/
Th3y Say I never will fit in/
Th3y Say my music's awkward/
and I won't prosper/
But I don't ever listen to them/
Th3y Say I'm different/
Somewhat Strange/
Cause I'm outside the box looking in/
Th3y want me to bend/
Th3y want me to break/
But I'll be damned if I lettem change the music I make....
