"The Outsider" lyrics

"The Outsider"

How could they blame you now? You earned that
I had came way too far to turn back
I got the passion of the craft with the matches and the gas
Every bridge I pass, I burn that
All of my allies, all of my debts
I kept my promises, call 'em my threats I guess
My breath been falling by steps, I'm hexed
My ex-bitch wanting my sex, I'm haunted by death, death
Cornered by life
Silent by day, yeah, I'm brawling by night
Y'all in my way, my foreigner flight
Keep stalling my stay, by morning I might be gone in my way
Outsider I been with the pen since way back when
I was faded from the drugs and they hated who I was
They created my buzz, so I paid back them
And yeah I take that win
Against the crabs in the barrel that they stay trapped in
I was spitting bars on an ADAT then until I made it
They were throwing shade at him
I'm in a state of grace, staying creative
Truly an innovator, this is the shit legends are made of
When you have faced everything you've ever been afraid of
And overcame it, how could they beat you later?

Outsider I been
With the pen since way back when
Outsider I been
With the pen since way back when

Now that I'm seeing things clearly
Heard you shit-talking like it's rain on a tin ceiling
Dealing with a grown man clearly in feelings
Unable to own all this snake shit that you did, now you're all alone
Just a product of wheeling and dealing
See you chronically lying and addin' to the stealing
Your story don't add up, your attitude revealing
I ain't even mad at you, I'm shatter-proof, resilient
I expected jealousy from crowds of [?] civilians
Faced it all along and I battered through it brilliant
The ways of the world doesn't matter to an alien
If I had a buck for every fuckin' rumor, it would add up to a million
Outsider, I been
With the pen since way back when
I have brawled, I evolved
I'm a dog in this war and I stay snappin'
I'm the A Captain, god emcee
Master of ceremonies, they stay packed in
Y'all would kill for fame, backstab for hoes
Transcend for both, we not built the same
In this game that's full of snakes and leeches
There is no decency among the thieves, it's
On to the next stop, stuck in how wide your reach is
Bunch of rats really barely recognize your features
So look up to the skies for Jesus
Or hook up and collide with evil
The ties that bind us are the ties that blind us
So where does it find to seeing on the other side of people?

Outsider I been
With the pen since way back when
Outsider I been
With the pen since way back when
