Contraband Confidence

[Verse 1]
They say I'm breakin' rules but I'm buildin' my own lane
Illegal? Nah, I'm just different, changin' up the game
Crooked thoughts in a straight world, that's my playground
They write the laws, I write the bars that shake the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Contraband confidence, my swagger's contraband
Forbidden fruit taste sweet when you understand the plan
They want me standardized, I'm customized and rare
Breaking all the barriers that try to keep me there

[Chorus]
Illegal? Nah, I'm just different
Illegal? Nah, I'm just different
My name don't fit their system
I make my own permission

[Verse 2]
I don't fold up for the frame they built
I wear the fault lines like a belt
Every "can't" they throw, I turn to fuel
Every locked door learns I'm the rule
They call it trouble when I move my way
I call it truth with a sharper blade

[Chorus]
Illegal? Nah, I'm just different
Illegal? Nah, I'm just different
My name don't fit their system
I make my own permission

[Bridge]
Let 'em talk, let 'em point, let 'em stare
I was made for the roads they wouldn't dare
If the line is thin, I cross it clean
I turn a no into a maybe, into a dream

[Chorus]
Illegal? Nah, I'm just different
Illegal? Nah, I'm just different
My name don't fit their system
I make my own permission

Trap anthem with a swung hi-hat grid and მძიმე sub-bass; verse rides sparse 808s, snapped claps, and a dark piano stab; pre-chorus strips to bass and a filtered chant before the chorus hits with stacked doubles and gang ad-libs. Vocal is close-mic, half-rapped, with delay throws on key lines. Risers, reversed swells, and a snare roll bridge sections. Bright, punchy mix with a hard low end., world
