Outside Lyrics

Is there life outside?

Or am I I forever combined with this plight?

Staring outside, lookin' for light

To light up my mind, to light up my life

Lookin' for signs, prayin' for mine

Starin' outside, lookin' for light

To light up my mind, to light up my life

Searchin' inside but I see nothin' in sight

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside - where the clues be at

I don't see out 'cause of a black ski mask

That has no eye holes so I shut my pie hole

While it builds up and breaks my dome

My dome says: "Don't shake my Mode"

Will the lokishi take my soul

For the ways I chose

(That I chose)

Will I be - the leader of the new school?

Though I got a screw loose

Based on what you use

I'll never be the new cool

Friends fall back, talk trash, they're not too used

Me talkin' new tools

And contemplate a new noon

Gotta play my part to get out this trap

Me and these limits are a big mismatch

I'm sick of this garb, I got a future to grab - brag

Alas, I'm not comin' back

If all is lost I might as well drown

Stuck in open water that is so profound

Will I even survive? 'Cause I truly want to live and not only stay alive

I've contemplated suicide

Haunted by ghosts who never ride off

Agoraphobic, I guess I'm odd

I tried to be even but still came out odd

So I lost and lost interest

In real or fake or tellin' the difference

Why bother myself with anything else?

All I want to do is leave it in the past

Through school, sports or rap

Soul

(Outside!) I gotta do right

(Outside!) I want a new life

(Inside!) Is straight suicide

(Outside!) I gotta do right

(Outside!) I want a new life

(Inside!) Is straight suicide

Outside, I gotta do right for a new life

Inside is suicide

Staring outside, lookin' for light

To light up my mind, to light up my life

Lookin' for signs, prayin' for mine

Starin' outside, lookin' for light

To light up my mind, to light up my life

Searchin' inside but I see nothin' in sight

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, I'm still trapped in a maze

Got hunger so I'm playin' these games

I don't like to fight the lies I see on the 'Tube

'Cause then I'd choose to lose a thousand times

They tempt me to let the bird out the box before I'm truly set free

(Before I'm set free)!

They make it sound easy to live freely

But if I do so I'll be seen as greedy

But a honey badger is perceived as deadly

United Black boys build up a building

Always got you however you're feelin'

90 times better than most but I'm trapped in a corner

My rove jumbled up, it's never over

(Never over)!

I lost friends 'cause of dreams that are major

But they all try to break you if you want a life that's greater

Then theirs but instead of changing their own they focus on being a hater

I wish I could change that

But I'm glad that I stayed back

'Cause if I did you would let my brain crash

Even though I'm sharp I'd never poke through

Into your skulls and remold you

I want to teach you but I cannot force you

And if your lives go down don't say I never told you

Soul

(Outside!) I gotta do right

(Outside!) I want a new life

(Inside!) Is straight suicide

(Outside!) I gotta do right

(Outside!) I want a new life

(Inside!) Is straight suicide

Outside, I gotta do right for a new life

Inside is suicide

Staring outside, lookin' for light

To light up my mind, to light up my life

Lookin' for signs, prayin' for mine

Starin' outside, lookin' for light

To light up my mind, to light up my life

Searchin' inside but I see nothin' in sight

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside

Outside, outside
