[Hook]

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'd like

I'll see you on the other side

I wanna live the free life

I'd rather be an outsider [x5]

[Verse 1 - lecrae]

Yeah

Outsiders

I really can't tell if I'm over-dressed or I'm under-dressed

If I'm under-paid, or just over-stressed

If I'm cynical, or just over this

Cause I'm tired of trying to get over them

Man its over then, parties over

You probably couldn't tell that we over here, because you hardly sober

Double shots in that ego

They laughing at us, yeah we know

Maybe at the bottom, but we not forgotten

The directors plotting that sequel

Till' then we live on the outside

And it might storm and we might die

But, I'd rather go where my fist high

Standing outside of your inside

I tried my best to fit in

Looking for a suit to fit in

Standing outside of your prison

Trying to find ways I could get in

Now I realize that I'm free

And I realize that I'm me

And I found out that I'm not alone cause' theirs plenty people like me

That's right theirs plenty people like me

All love me, despite me

And all unashamed and all unafraid to speak out for what we might see

I said theirs plenty people like me

All outsiders like me

And all unashamed and all unafraid to live out what they supposed to be

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - lecrae]

Uh

I know what they asking for, I know what they asking for

But, how you gonna come and charge me, my life is sold, and then turn around and ask for more

Time to go, plus the line is long

I'ma color the outside, but lines a drone

If you wanna exclude me, for being the true me

It's gucci, I already found my home

Homesick

Homeless, if I'm on this

Cause' my home is somewhere I ain't never been before

I'ma own this here gift, even if it doesn't fit in the box that'll bleed these folks

Some of ya'll don't need these quotes

I ain't tryna' eat, I'm tryna' feed these folks

Martin man delegate, we need these folks

We believe these folks

We can 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 theirs plenty of people like me

I said theirs plenty of people like me

All outsiders like me

All unashamed and all unafraid to live out what they supposed to be

Outsiders!

[Outro]

You spend your time

So many lives

Turn on the lights

Open your eye

We'll be running through the night

Its brighter on the other side

Somethings bigger than you and I

Brighter on the other side [x5]
