outcast

Nf

Woke up in the cell, where am I at?
Yeah, it s cold, but I like that
What am I, trapped?
Heart s beating out of my chest
Door s locked, but the keys are in my hands
Hm, yeah, that s weird, it doesn t make sense, does it?
I make songs, I don t make friends, judge me
Might smile, but it ain t that funny
Sing along to the pain, they love it
Life s like a merry-go-round
And I m still tryna figure it out
I like space, I don t fit in the crowds
My whole life I ve been airin it out
Oh, I m gettin into character now
Feels wrong, but it feels right
My feelings seal tight real nice
But I will fight anything to win
But I m not Mike Tyson, I won t bite ya
But I will tell you if I don t like you
I am not the norm
I got my own shoes, I ain t tryna fit in yours
I never been married, but I ve felt divorced
Hi, I m Nate, have we met before?
Somebody told you I was wack?
Check the source
Somebody told you I was back?
Yes, of course
You got a problem with the fans?
There s the door
You lookin for the old me?
Check the morgue, agh!
Not a fortune-teller, but I can see into the future better
Ain t no tellin what ll happen
when I pick up the microphone, get the fans together
Same style, but the songs are better
Been a year and a half, feels like it s gone forever
Ain t no drink in my hand, but you know the buzz is comin
Big steps in the game, yeah, the Hulk is running
My thoughts are funny, it feels
like I m onto something, yeah

I m high off the music, my head s in the clouds
I kinda like it up here, I am not comin down
I d rather be alone, I am not good in crowds
Which is kinda confusin
I ve no been that way since a child
They laughin , they tell me I ll never get out
I m just tryna be me, I am nobody else
I don t care what you think, I m just bein myself
So I guess for now

I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I guess I ll be the outcast

Yeah, I guess I don t fit the mold of rap
Cause I m respectin women
I heard your record, I was laughin at it
Maybe they would like me more
if I got a little graphic with it
Nah, I don t wanna blend in with you little rappin idiots
I d rather be the outcast
I ain t never puttin out trash
I take a hundred and staple it right to my tongue
I always put the money where my mouth s at, ah!
Feels good to be here now
I m a weird person with a weird crowd
What, you don t like that?
That s cool, that s great, that s fine, okay
you can leave now
Got a weird smile, but I like it though
I paint it on me and I m walkin to the microphone
And put the caution tape around me
like I did in Intro I, yeah!
Yeah, they got me reminiscin now!
Yeah, you done know I m bout to go mad
Never wanted something so bad
Goosebumps through the whole track
Ain t no way I m gonna hold back
Got me thinkin that I m cookin in a meth lab
I don t blow it up in front of my own eyes
You look a little lost, you ain t get that?
Comin from a town where nobody hears a rap like this
I never get the memo, must ve missed that
Wow!
Here I go in my feelings again, I can feel it again
So I lay in my bed, in my cell with the pen
And I dwell on my sins, I keep wonderin when
Time to open the doors, they don t know who I am
But I pick up the keys and I put on my Timbs
And I stare at the locks and the tat on my skin
And I think to myself: I don t wanna fit in

I m high off the music, my head s in the clouds
I kinda like it up here, I am not comin down
I d rather be alone, I am not good in crowds
Which is kinda confusin
I ve no been that way since a child
They laughin , they tell me I ll never get out
I m just tryna be me, I am nobody else
I don t care what you think, I m just bein myself
So I guess for now

Yeah, I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I guess I ll be the outcast

Yeah, tryna focus
Take a knife to my head then I cut it open
Take my brain, put it on the floor tryna
figure out my motives
Y all thought I was an issue when the door was locked
Nah, you should see me when the door opens
Every night I can hear voices
Put a camera in my face, might turn Joker
like I m Mike Posner
Always been a little complex
Difficult to process
Some of y all wanna sit around and try to pick apart my bars
Here s some lines you could dissect
If I ma die, I ma die givin everything that I have
Take a deep breath, I don t need y all s respect
I m a reject kid at recess playin games
with his make-believe friends
Yeah, I don t ever take a night off
Lights off in the room and I write songs
I might fall into my thoughts once in a while
when the mic s off
You ain t ever seen no drive like mine
better hop outta my car
I m about to unlock my doors
You ain t got a seat belt on, better find one
Gettin sick of people tellin me to smile more
T. S. was a chapter I ll never forget, it was therapy for me
But it s time to turn the page now
Hey, shut up, I m tryna tell em my story!
I m sorry, I wasn t yellin at y all
I was talkin to the voices
I rip out the drums of the industry s ears
for tryin to ignore me and playin
while singin this chorus

I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I guess I ll be the outcast

I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I ll just be the outcast
I guess I ll be the outcast
