![“[I] don't like to think like everybody else, don't like to try to think like everybody else, don't like to do nothing everybody else think I'm gone do, don't like to say nothing everybody else think I'm gone say. I'm a Martian. I like to be different. And what's more different than a Martian.” quote by Lil Wayne](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a18/lil-wayne-62_different_i-don-t-like-to-think-like-everybody-els_339775.jpg)
