Yea yea
All my friends wanna settle down
Honestly finding a good girl is harder now
Tell me how I can help 'em out
When
Most of the people in my life who married aren't together now
It's getting worse every day it seems
But being with the wrong one can devastate your dreams
I waited for marriage, I know, that's old school
She passed the sonny test that's an old move
Just remember we all started out local
It's real when the people who hate you don't even know you
But I've been finding clarity going to church
I feel my insecurities are making it worse
I feel like God knows what he's doing
I'm taking the first step in the right direction not saying reverse
Take a walk in my shoes
Life is beautiful get lost in the views

What if just tonight we were different people
Just like in the movies we used to see
And what if just tonight we could love each other
Making things the way they're supposed to be

If we could just step back, yea
Give it all we got
If we could just step back
We can love like God

So many summers have passed you still require all my attention
You know the way into my heart only one direction
I give you all my affection I know you yearn for
I yearn for it to its what we made for
My life's goal is to make you smile raise the kids to be great in the meanwhile
You encourage the flows I write why I put em out
I read a true friend sticks closer than a brother, but
When I met you you were different from the others
A story of real love still reppin' for my brothers
I know that you feel the same so I say it for the culture
If you have a good girl go and tell her that you love her
No significant other then call up and tell your mother
All the best always rooting for the movie ending
I groove off the vibrations that you be sending
Forever yours although I'm gone forever touring
Why I treasure me waking up to you every morning

What if just tonight we were different people
Just like in the movies we used to see
And what if just tonight we could love each other
Making things the way they're supposed to be

Can we just step back, yea
Give it all we got
If we could just step back
We can love like God
We can love

If you don't know, don't act like you know it
But if we have love then we need to show it
If you don't know, don't act like you know it
But if we have love then we need to show it
If you don't know, don't act like you know it
But if we have love then we need to show it




If you don't know, don't act like you know it
But if we have love then we need to show it

Overall Meaning

In the song "Different People" by Social Club Misfits, the artists discuss the challenges they and their friends have faced in finding love and settling down in modern times. They reflect on the possible reasons why many marriages fail and express their desire to love like God. Despite their insecurities, they find clarity in going to church and taking the first step towards the right direction. The chorus suggests that if everyone stepped back and loved each other like God, even for just a night, the world would be a better place.


The artists acknowledge that finding a good partner is harder now than ever before. They observe that many married couples in their lives are not together anymore, and that being with the wrong partner can lead to devastation of one's dreams. They recognize that waiting for marriage is an old school approach, but they personally believe in it. They stress the importance of being with someone who passes the "Sonny test" (referring to one of the artists' friends), which means being with someone who fits their vision and values. The artists' experience shows the importance of taking time to choose the right partner.


The song also emphasizes the importance of love and showing it to others. The artists suggest that love can make a difference in the world, and that everyone needs to show it more.

These beats are so vibey...I'm convinced Marty and Fern just dance the beats into existence. The instrumentals just ooze out of their entire being and intertwine with the lyrics in the musical dimension. Absolutely magical. Social Club is the best.

@pervertpedophileprophet

Support these guys.
I just discovered them today right here from Africa and I am searching out their videos. I just even watched their Sway interview and freestyle.
Support these guys and other Christian Rappers&Singers.
Let's get Positive music topping the charts. I am tired of seeing all that decadent music messing up the youths plus the African youths copying the West are also getting messed up.
Let's help them get influenced by beautiful music such as these. Not just Africa. Also the Middle East, etcetera. Hip-hop music has got some wide reach influence. Let the core value be Jesus Christ.
