NF | Outcast (Lyrics)
“Outcast” by NF
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,
Hmm, 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 airing it out,
Oh, I’m getting 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 you,
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 ain’t 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 looking for the old me? Check the morgue, ah!
Not a fortune teller, but I can see into the future better,
Ain’t no telling 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 coming,
Big steps in the game, yeah, the Hulk is running,
My thoughts are funny, it feels like I’m on to something,
Yeah,
I’m high off the music, my head’s in the clouds,
I kinda like it up here, I am not coming down,
I’d rather be alone, I am not good in crowds,
Which is kinda confusing, I’ve not been that way, since a child,
They laughing, 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 being myself
So, I guess for now,
I’ll just be the outcast,
I’ll just be the outcast,
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 respecting women,
‘I heard your record, I was laughin at it’ (hahaha),
Maybe they would like me more, if I got a little graphic with it,
No, I don’t wanna blend in, with you little rapping idiots,
I’d rather be the outcast,
I ain’t never putting 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 walking to the microphone,
And put the caution tape around me, like I did in Intro,
And, yeah,
Yeah, they got me reminiscing 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 thinking that I’m cooking 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?
Coming from a town where nobody hears a rap like this,
I never get the memo, must’ve missed that,
Wow (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 wondering when,
Time to open the the door, 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’ ( 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 coming down,
I’d rather be alone, I am not good in crowds,
Which is kinda confusing, I’ve not been that way, since a child (whoa),
They laughing, 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 being myself,
So, I guess for now,
I’ll just be the outcast,
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 Imma die, Imma die giving everything that I have,
Take a deep breath, I don’t need y’all’s respect,
I’m a reject kid, at recess, playing 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,
Getting sick of people telling 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 yelling at y’all,
I was talking to the voices I rip outta the drums of the industry’s ears,
For trying to ignore me, and playing while singing this chorus,
I’ll just be the outcast,
I’ll just be the outcast.
I’ll just be the outcast.
I guess I’ll be the outcast,
I’ll just be the outcast,
I’ll just be the outcast,
I’ll just be the outcast,
I guess I’ll be the outcast!
