作曲 : Nate Feuerstein/Tommee Profitt

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 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 is a rapper

Guess 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 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 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 guess I'll be the outcast

I'll just be the outcast

I guess I'll be the outcast
