	Story Behind the Song The song is about being yourself, and not trying to imitate everybody else. When the original track came out, they knew it was a hit! Lyrics Never thought I would amount to anything, Grew up as a kid, and portrayed everything, But now that I'm making money, and lyricising, I'm staying undercover, no ice or ring, And lie low, take time slow, Gentle as my words and how soft they flow, Some have no clue, and some already know, That I spit my game, and then I have to go, When you think like I do, you stay on your feet, 'Cause you gotta be ready, and win to compete, Just another white rapper, comin' straight from the Creek, Maybe one and only, but it's good to be unique, I don't write about murders and gangs, I write about love and other things, And when this comes out, all telephones will ring, Sayin', "Nater MC is who I'm requesting", (Chorus) Catchin' up with the latest trends, Make the way to where your life never begins, Finally realize it all, when your career ends, It's nothing like playing pretend, All this talk about the winin' and dinin', When you get there, all the things that you are findin', Hard core drinkin', overdosin' on aspirin, This is real life, and not just pretend. Everything I think, I jot it down, 'Cause it all comes out easy, flowin' to the sound, Of the lyrics I speak, on this remix track, And this Funky beat, JC's got my back, I speak the truth, on how life is, Don't want to teach kids to use violence, To solve every problem, but please, speak your mind, It releases your fear, your soul unwinds, When you imitate, you waste good time spent, Use your true skills, all heaven sent, 'Cause you'll be blessed with better lives, better wives, You never want to leave yourself behind, Now if you feel me, you'll truly understand, I'll lead the way, now take my hand, There's a better place, right here on Earth, 2002, and it's time for rebirth, (Chorus) I have to remember now, that it's history, At this time, my life is still a mystery, 'Cause when people stare at me, they realize, That they're lookin' at themselves, with my own eyes, When they ask me things, they always suspect, That I'll tell them everything, being a reject, I'm just stronger than them, I'm one and only, And they live they're lives just pretending, (Chorus 2x)
