Been on that outside looking in
Foreign from my roots
Foreign from my city
Foreign from my identity
Not really following any ethnicity
Growing up acting defensively
When you come from an Asian family
You start to feel too uptight
But yo I grew up in North Van, it's like I grew up white
Middle class, at least I'm doing alright
Momma and Poppa never loved each other
So I ain't know what a happy home feel like
But seeing that showed me real life
All I needed was a buzz just to feel right
Now I need a buzz watch me a kill a mic
Gotta go big, Godzilla type
Finna go ape shit, gorillas in sight
Introverted motherf*cker had a stutter had a problem with words all of my life
I couldn't get them out right
But then the beat come on, now I tell the crowd get your hands up like midnight
Been feeling restless I'm trying to sit tight
I'm a winner can't quit life
Anger management, now my shit nice
Make them think twice
This that theme song for every motherf*cker told to dream on
So we did just that
If it's coming from the heart you gotta trust that
But where the love at
They hate you for being yourself
They tryna break you and take you out of your lane
But you are not of the same
Before I ball out I gotta go all out
Go out of the brain, straight jackets and padded walls
Just to go after it all
I been pissed off, full bladder and all
F*ck minding the manners, you grinding through madness and all
I ride for my underdogs
Going through the pain, f*ck a tylenol
Smile through it all
Let that shit go in my conscious
Can't break me, I'm not like a promise
I'm going up til I can throw it up like I can vomit
I gotta do it, gotta maneuver like Heimlich
I gotta make it work baby
I really just need a seat at the table, give a f*ck about dessert baby
Before I'm off this Earth, gotta see what I'm worth baby
On the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
