|
| If I gotta sacrifice
|
| Who I am on the inside
|
| I’d rather be an outsider
|
| And you can stay if you like
|

|
| 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 (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,
|
| (yeah)
|
| Looking for a suit to fit in
|
| (yeah)
|
| Standing outside of your prison
|
| (I tried)
|
| Tryna find ways I can get in
|
| (no more)
|
| Now I realize that I’m free (free)
|
| And I realize that I’m me (I'm me)
|
| And I found out that I’m not alone cause there’s plenty people like me (say
|
| what)
|
| That’s right plenty people like me (ok)
|
| All love me despite me
|
| And all unashamed and all unafraid to speak out for what we might see (outside)
|
| I said there’s plenty people like me, (like me)
|
| All outsiders like me (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
|

|
| 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
|
| Cause my home is somewhere I ain’t never been before
|
| Imma 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, Mandela, yeah we need these folks
|
| We believe these folks, we could be these folks
|
| Yeah, 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 (like me)
|
| All outsiders like me (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
|
| Brighter on the other side
