What Unique Means To Me

-I show contempt for anything that ties me to other people, anything that makes me
ordinary. Even as a kid, I wished to be different, separate, notorious. If I could I'd
shed my name and hide behind the mask of my new moniker: Pharoah-
 
Some people think different is the word best used to define unique.
I disagree
Unique is the first word that comes to mind when used to describe...Me
Unique means a type of something that stands out, rare or very hard to find or come across
I'm unique to the point as I wander Earth I feel I'm lost
Do I belong here, how come there's no other like me, tell me
I'm one in a billion like Kanye, Lupe, Big, Pac, 50, and Jay Z
I'm the most hardest puzzle to complete, armed with trillions of pieces
I've recently come to the conclusion that I'm a totally different species
Like Weezy said "We are not the same, I am a martian."
That's how I feel, and this world wouldn't be nothing had my mother got an abortion
Who has my style, swagger, mind, body, posture, and vibe
No one, because they don't understand my incentive to survive
Baby take a look at your man for a while...
Is there anyone else that makes you smile
Forget what Beyonce singing about, I know I'm irreplaceable
I love it as well, that's what unique means to me, and my love for... you is unbreakable
