[verse 1]
I keep it versatile, cause that`s my style
Form hip-hop to bip-bop
I`ve been with shorties round the world
Variety is just my personality
Sometimes I just don`t fit in
I see the open doorways
But no one wants to let me in
Grandma made me understand material things don`t make the man
Try to find that inner wealth and learn to love yourself
Lately it`s so hard to find peace of mind
I just got to get away from the haters and the instigators
The mis-conceivers and the non-believers
People don`t believe the hype `cause Leehom ain`t no stereo type
[chorus]
No Crystale in the tub
Or iced out Spreewell dubs
I`m really not your average thug
Not your average gangster
And I won`t be defined by the size of my knot
But the state of my mind
No Rolex on my wrist
Or platinum on my chest
`Cause I don`t need that sh to impress
But y`all don`t get it twisted
I got love for the ghetto
Tho I`m your average thug
[verse 2]
(Feel me) Lord I`ve been around the world
Sangin` near and far
People runnin` game all over
Judgin` me before we meet when they see me on the street
And they don`t know a damn thing about me
It`s a world of jealous deceit and envy
Seems like everybody tryin` to take something from me
Grandma made me understand material things don`t make the man
So I found that inner wealth and learned to love myself
Lately it`s so hard to find peace of mind
(Lately it is so hard)
I just got to get away from the haters and the instigators
There`s back-stabbers and money-grabbers
Users and abusers and they all wear smilin` faces
[chorus]
No Crystale in the tub
Or iced out Spreewell dubs
I`m really not your average thug
Not your average gangster
And I won`t be defined by the size of my knot
But the state of my mind
No Rolex on my wrist
Or platinum on my chest
`Cause I don`t need that sh to impress
But y`all don`t get it twisted
I got love for the ghetto
Tho I`m your average thug
[verse 3]
Sometimes I feel like I`m gonna snap
And go off up in this piece on somebody
I ain`t tryin` to say no names
But I ain`t tryin` to play no games
Holla if you feel me people
Lately it`s so hard to find peace of mind
So lift me up in a lonely world that`s so unkind
There`s back-stabbers and money-grabbers
Users and abusers haters and instigators
and they all wear smilin` faces
[chorus]
No Crystale in the tub
Or iced out Spreewell dubs
I`m really not your average thug
Not your average gangster
And I won`t be defined by the size of my knot
But the state of my mind
No Rolex on my wrist
Or platinum on my chest
`Cause I don`t need that sh to impress
But y`all don`t get it twisted
I got love for the ghetto
Tho I`m your average thug
(Shorties I just need that ghetto love
Take a dip in my jacuzzi
Don`t misjudge me `cause I`m my own man now
Sometimes I don`t even wear no watch
Everybody needs some ghetto love
See I`m not your average thug)
