Outsider
I'm an outsider to this game
I may be strange, but I'm not deranged
I'm a nerdy guy
Don't ask me how or why, it's just the way it is
I've had knowledge ever since I was a kid
Who knew I'd fall for the allure of the rap biz
It all started with a silly situation (Situation)
That became bad, left me contemplatin'
What I was going to do? I felt worthless
I was under pressure, I felt lots of stress
Then I heard a hip-hop song and it saved my life
Almost ended it but I got a chance to fight
For my survival, my purpose, your rights
Used to be hopeless now I'm a pro on the mic
But still I face an uphill battle (Uphill)
Because of who I am, nothin' I say matters?
That don't bring me down, I'm still standin' strong
I'll be your worst nightmare even after I'm gone
I think outside the box and that makes me different
I try very hard and that makes me persistent
I got the mind of a geek but the heart of the streets
I'm an outsider and I ain't givin' up for shit
I ain't givin' up for shit
I walk and talk like I'm weird and white
Almost half-expectin' to get into a fight
I know I'll never understand just what goes on
I ain't born in the ghetto so I don't belong
God gave me the ability to present
Pain and tribulations to an audience
I may seem spoiled but I ain't rich
And I certainly don't buy into their bullshit
I risk my life everyday to deliver the message
I tell em' not to be brought down by oppression
I tell em' that dictatorship can suck my dick
I tell em' bullies don't mean shit, they're illegitimate
I'm smarter than most, I know what goes on
They're afraid of change so they prolong
The narrative so they can blame it all on race
Segregating one another, well you a fuckin' disgrace
I think outside the box and that makes me different
I try very hard and that makes me persistent
I got the mind of a geek but the heart of the streets
I'm an outsider and I ain't givin' up for shit
I ain't givin' up for shit
I think outside the box and that makes me different
I try very hard and that makes me persistent
I got the mind of a geek but the heart of the streets
I'm an outsider and I ain't givin' up for shit
I ain't givin' up for shit
I may be strange, but I'm not deranged
I'm a nerdy guy
Don't ask me how or why, it's just the way it is
I've had knowledge ever since I was a kid
