Black Sheep

People be lying, on the sly, with a smile, people wasting your time
People be constantly telling you what to and what not to do with your life
People be cutting in line to give you a piece of their mind
People be ignant be tripping, be having opinions they hide

And they be putting you in boxes, and they be making sure you stay in'em
Spilling tea, spreading gossip, don't matter what you say ain't no swaying them
They running their mouth on the Gram, doing the most, ain't no line in the sand
But all the rating, hating and blowing smoke don't cut no ice with you when

You're used to being a black sheep with a bad rap
All they see is black sheep with a bad rap
You could be a diamond in the rough and they will never know it
A diamond in the rough and nobody would notice
Cuz they see black sheep with a bad rap
All they see is black sheep with a bad rap
You could be a diamond in the rough and they will never know it
A diamond in the rough and nobody would notice

Some might shoot you dirty looks, size you up from head to foot
Might throw shade like skyscrapers, try every trick in the book
Some be clout chasing and some be about-facing
And many just jump on bandwagons at every occasion

So don't let nobody chatch you slipping, be careful what words you be picking
Try to please'em, bend over backwards, let'em dictate the way you be thinking and living
God forbid you don't play ball and brush'em off like dirt on your shoulders
God forbid you do you and don't put on a mask to win'em all over

Cuz then they would see black sheep with a bad rap
All they'd see is black sheep with a bad rap
You could be a diamond in the rough and they will never know it
A diamond in the rough and nobody would notice
Cuz they see black sheep with a bad rap
All they see is black sheep with a bad rap
You could be a diamond in the rough and they will never know it
A diamond in the rough and nobody would notice

And I know some days it's easy to shut your eyes to the BS
But some days that shit can eat you up inside, know that feeling?
It can either break you or make you go numb
It can make you a kiss-ass or make you stick to your guns, either way

It's gon be what you make of it and I ain't done yet
Cuz I feel like it's time for the outcasts to finally run shit
I been labeled a black sheep almost all my life so
I'll wear it ploudly like a S on my chest until I die

Cuz all they see is black sheep with a bad rap
All they see is black sheep with a bad rap
You could be a diamond in the rough and they will never know it
A diamond in the rough and nobody would notice
Cuz they see black sheep with a bad rap
All they see black sheep with a bad rap
You could be a diamond in the rough and they will never know it
A diamond in the rough and nobody would notice
