Outcast
Aye Yo I was born different
Let God bare to be a witness
Poetic with these scriptures
Words cast a visual like pictures
Waited twenty-seven years
Just to bless a mic' with tears
Stories told from a kindred soul
Realizing I'm living a goal
A troubled teen in school
Disobeying every single rule
Now I'm working a trade
Every Friday I get paid
Looking back at the days
Where I felt lost like a stray
Still have nightmares replaying
Haunted by faces decaying
But I know I gotta strive
Change is worth being alive
A moment for the taking
Opportunity worth shaping
So many times my body's aching
But I know time's without replacing
Talent gotta match hard work
Press record and go berserk
Shoutout to my boy Wizard
Production colder than a blizzard
You're only as good as you believe
Whether it's hate or love you receive
Stop trying to make the blind see
So Shorty act like autumn and leave
Don't stop what's destined to be
Can't ever go through life naive
I know time's of the essence
Why I use gifts in living presence
Life lived without purpose
Is worse than a life sentence
Looking beneath the surface
Every action can be momentous
I've seen the best fall
I've answered the toughest calls
Putting my fists through walls
Seeing that was the end of it all
Another person that was gone
Another person facing numbers
Night's darker just before dawn
Fighting demons free from slumbers
Darkness becoming the light
The day I chose to live right
Looking back at the court orders
Now I move freight across borders
A crazy change of direction
Face to face with my reflection
Yo I put my father through hell
My eyes are starting to swell
Reminiscing years I felt lost
Strength comes with a cost
Lacking sleep like insomniacs
Gripping chest like heart attacks
Still feeling plagued at night
So cursed from what I write
Memories etched by sight
Funerals dressed in white
I wanna reach new heights
New trips on private flights
Feeling free from the pain
Feeling sunshine and not rain
I'm stronger from my past
Live each day like it's my last
A part of sagas like I'm Dreamcast
Walk of life that seems vast
Comfort being an outcast
Why can it end so fast
Time that we all share
It never ever seems fair
When you gotta say goodbye
Hard to hold your head high
Nigga's shot if there's no comply
Perception doesn't lie
Lies become the truth
Truth become the lies
I learned that as a youth
You gotta use more than your eyes
Open your ears to listen
You'll understand what was missing
Loudest in a room ain't with it
Another actor well scripted
I care less about the fame
Surprised certain niggas in the game
I'm doing a buck and some change
Riding solo in my own lane
Too many artists are strange
So I mask up like I'm Bane
I'm not a part of the norm
I was built in a different form
Been the type to walk alone
I don't live life through a phone
Always speak from the heart
Yo fuck the Top 100 chart
Words antique like it's priceless
I'm the definition of timeless
Let God bare to be a witness
Poetic with these scriptures
Words cast a visual like pictures
Waited twenty-seven years
Just to bless a mic' with tears
Stories told from a kindred soul
Realizing I'm living a goal
A troubled teen in school
Disobeying every single rule
Now I'm working a trade
Every Friday I get paid
Looking back at the days
Where I felt lost like a stray
Still have nightmares replaying
Haunted by faces decaying
