What's the difference ‘tween a painter and a lyricist Well one uses a comma and the other use a period Look at my microphone and all I sees a canvas My rhymes have gotten better since they kicked me off of campus Threw me to the wolves, really threw me at the world I done seen a lot of niggas i done met a lot of girls And one thing to consider, everyone got insecurities Adults can be mature but that done mean they have maturity What's the difference between a believer and an atheist One admits that he's blind, the other claims he sees the best But I'm not here to play a judge or a jury I'm just trying to execute the proper telling of my story 21 Years old, 21 years blessed 21 Years down, 21 years less And none of us can see ahead how much time we got left So ima make the most of it, I pour a drink and toast to it Now what's the difference ‘tween a photographer and reporter One gone tell all the lies, the other just record it Both gone play the role in the destruction of a soul Glamorizing loss of life, cop still on payroll As I contemplate a life Where all my choices and decisions yield the blessings of my children Or the curses of them too That's enough motivation to spur my legs to move My heart to forgive wrong and my tongue to tell the truth So ima tell my audience my truth inside this booth As I go on 22, I'm the living breathing proof of what praying mothers do Lord protect him on his ways Help him submit his heart so you can lengthen out his days You wanna know the difference ‘tween you love and you like After all the wrong I've done the lord still ain't take my life Though he would be justified clearly my life ain't mine So I pray I find a better way to dedicate my time What's the difference ‘tween twenty one and twenty two Hopefully a lot, hopefully I'm closer to a man Hopefully I'm not worse off than when I had first began Hopefully I got plenty enough time to make amends I stand beside my friends as a brother to a brother As iron sharpens iron we gone cover one another Sometimes I take for granted all the friendships, Is that bad? Until somebody tell me I wish I had what you had Now that's a harsh reminder that no everybody finds Real companions by they side So if you got a couple hold and squeeze em tight Offer all your love by day and pleasant sleep by night Cuz the subtle difference tween see you later and goodbye Is easy All it takes is not opening your eyes Open up your phone and you text them a good morning Just to enter into mourning when that coroner reply A vanishing of life So heed the wisdom of the people who been thru all that Your parents and your elders, and your brothers and your sister And your friends and your foes, every single door that close Every window that lay open, Every card the dealer show The difference ‘tween a missed and a gained opportunity Could simply be growth under some pain and some scrutiny Not everybody criticize to guide you straight on purpose But if they speak the truth regardless exercise discernment The sun is coming up and I'm just glad I get to see it Change is coming soon and I'm just glad I get to see it Season changing swiftly so its time that I've departed Headed to the fields, I'm just tryna make the harvest What's the difference ‘tween too soon and too late Probably just four minutes when this song finish playing And what's the difference between me and all of you Twenty one years and you ain't walked a day inside my shoes
