Outsiders

I won't stay here another night If I gotta sacrifice Who I am on the inside I'd rather be an outsider And you can stay if you like I'll see you on the other side I wanna live the free life I'd rather be an outsider I really can't tell if I'm overdressed or I'm underdressed If I'm underpaid or just overstressed If I'm cynical or just over this Cause I'm tired of tryna get over there Man it's over there Party's over You probably couldn't tell we over here Cause you hardly sober Double shots of that ego They laughin' at us, yeah we know May be at the bottom but we not forgotten The director's plotting that sequel 'Til then we live on the outside And it might storm and we might die But I'd rather go with my fist high Standing outside of your inside I tried my best to fit in Looking for a suit to fit in Standing outside of your prison Tryna find ways I can get in Now I realize that I'm free And I realize that I'm me And I found out that I'm not alone 'Cuz there's plenty people like me That's right plenty people like me All love me despite me And all unashamed and all unafraid To speak out for what we might see I said there's plenty people like me All outsiders like me And all unashamed and all unafraid To live out what they supposed to be Outsiders I won't stay here another night If I gotta sacrifice Who I am on the inside I'd rather be an outsider And you can stay if you like I'll see you on the other side I wanna live the free life I'd rather be an outsider I know what they askin' fo' I know what they askin' fo' But how you gone cover charge me my life and soul And then turn around and ask for mo' Time to go plus the line is long I'mma color the outside where lines are drawn If you wanna exclude me for being the true me It's Gucci I already found my home Homesick Homeless if I'm honest 'Cuz my home is somewhere I ain't never been before I'mma hone this here gift Even if it doesn't fit in the box That'll please these folks Some of y'all gone need these quotes I ain't tryna eat I'm tryna feed these folks Martin, Mandella yeah we need these folks We believe these folks We could be these folks But they want me to take an L Tired of taking losses so they can call me a failure I failed at being you But I'm winning at being me I'm winning at being free Ain't no competition but me See I realize that I'm free And I realize that I'm me And I found out that I'm not alone And there's plenty people like me I said there's plenty people like me All outsiders like me All unashamed and all unafraid To live out what they supposed to be Outsiders It's been too dark So many lies Turn on the lights Open your eyes Oh oh oh oh We'll be runnin' through the night It's brighter on the other side Oh oh oh oh Something's bigger than you and I Brighter on the other side --- Outsiders - Lecrae
