Outsiders - Lecrae

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’d rather be an outsider

I’d rather be an outsider

I’d rather be an outsider

I’d rather be an outsider

(yeah) I’d rather be an outsider (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 (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

I’d rather be an outsider

I’d rather be an outsider

I’d rather be an outsider

I’d rather be an outsider

I’d rather be an outsider

(yeah) I’d rather be an outsider (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

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

Brighter on the other side

Brighter on the other side

Brighter on the other side
