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
