Originality
Originality is the aspect of created or invented works by as being new or novel, and thus can be distinguished from reproductions, clones, forgeries, or derivative works. An original work is one not received from others nor one copied from or based upon the work of others.. It is a work created with a unique style and substance. The term "originality" is often applied as a compliment to the creativity of artists, writers, and thinkers. The idea of originality as we know it was invented by Romanticism, with a notion that is often called romantic originality.
The concept of originality is culturally contingent. It became an ideal in Western culture starting from the 18th century. In contrast, at the time of Shakespeare it was common to appreciate more the similarity with an admired classical work, and Shakespeare himself avoided "unnecessary invention".
Originality in law
In law, originality has become an important legal concept with respect to intellectual property, where creativity and invention have manifest as copyrightable works. In the patent law of the United States and most other countries, only original inventions are subject to protection. In addition to being original, inventions submitted for a patent must also be useful and nonobvious.

Man, I hate it when I'm in the club or out on the streets
and all these cats run up on me talkin bout what they doin,
and who they set the liquor on or how many bricks they flippin.
I don't need to hear that shit to be honest with you, dawg.
It's cool you flip birds, don't bring that shit around me.
I heard you were snitches so don't come around me.
I heard you talkin lick, don't talk that shit around me.
Cause I ain't gettin indicted with fools around me.
It's cool you flip birds, don't bring that shit around me.
I heard you were snitches so don't come around me.
I heard you talkin lick, don't talk that shit around me.
Cause I ain't gettin indicted with fools around me.
Call me Miami haro haro, cause this is but the track.
Blows my mind like oh chea.
Yeah, that's wrong, but it's real.
Fuck boys they know the deal.
Pit don't start it up, revolution.
Now all they wanna do is follow, follow, but chill.
I went from DI servin me meals to makin a mill.
So fuck with your deals, talk is cheap so fuck a grill.
Miami got them boys that's real, trill.
Now pull up, no grill, sand of steel.
But only God knows that they kill bill.
You can tell them boys is rookies when they make it rain in the club.
You know them boys is rookies when they got a hundred ones under dub.
I love it when they think they big time, but they just servin cookies.
And I love it when they think they from the hood,
and they just surburban pussies.
I'm up in the sky box with cushions, pimpin,
not chasin pussy, just lookin for investors
to back up this movie we pushin.
I ain't comfortable so everything I make is cushion,
and every day comes nothin but stockin with sushi.
It's cool you flip birds, don't bring that shit around me.
I heard you were snitches so don't come around me.
I heard you talkin lick, don't talk that shit around me.
Cause I ain't gettin indicted with fools around me.
It's cool you flip birds, don't bring that shit around me.
I heard you were snitches so don't come around me.
I heard you talkin lick, don't talk that shit around me.
Cause I ain't gettin indicted with fools around me.
I rap for them low key boys, get money, no keys doih.
But it's like everywhere I go, everybody pull up low by the boatloads, woah.
Then they get on records and rap about the shit
and cold like the dead don't know.
These boys need to wake up and smell the cocaine,
cause this a different day and age in the rap game.
Cause the feds came bugged, that's why they listen to everything that we say.
You can deny it until you get federally indicted,
accounts frozen and family just put on a diet.
Them big boys that push heavy weight know I ain't lyin.
I'm tryin to blow til the point I can tell Donald Trump,
"You fired." I did what I had to do to get where I'm at,
I push a little this, I push a little that.
But now that the game has let me in I ain't never goin back
and man you can bet that.
Havin problems movin weight?
Man, I wish I could help, but rap is my meal ticket
so keep them bricks to yourself.
It's cool you flip birds, don't bring that shit around me.
I heard you were snitches so don't come around me.
I heard you talkin lick, don't talk that shit around me.
Cause I ain't gettin indicted with fools around me.
It's cool you flip birds, don't bring that shit around me.
I heard you were snitches so don't come around me.
I heard you talkin lick, don't talk that shit around me.
Cause I ain't gettin indicted with fools around me.
