Outlands ft. Four Oh Tree Lyrics

They call me the outsider, that's all I've ever known

You already know the outlands is where I was raised and grown

Now I'm, a stones throw from the place you won't go

Where I come from high chances you walk out and get domed

Streets are safe, now that I be off em

But you pop off wrong and you endin up inside a coffin

Often times it's the guys who sniff too many lines

Now they lined on the side with the chalk pigment white

I fought for freedom but not the way you think I might

Believed in nothing cause it never really felt right

I fought for identity, something you refuse to do

You coming up on the stage the people askin who the fuck are you?

But the jokes on me, cuz I be the guy in my rhymes

I be the g with the fire but all in unreleased lines

All in underground tracks, a dust covered compilation

The place that I record my tracks is purely isolation.

I come from the outside, whatchu wanna know

I come from the place where nothing can grow

I'm a lone tree rooted in the spot I'm meant to be

But the winds unkind, they beat you physically and mentally

It's a lonely road, not the path I want to walk

The tick tick tickin of the clock means you can't stop

The outlands hard, they made me who I am

So walk in my shoes, we'll see who's the better man

You wanna be a tough guy, that's admirable and all

But who gon be around you when you finally fall

It's a hard tumble down one I know well

From the top it's a long way down to the pits of hell.

You contemplate your life through that, makes you think

What could push me so far that I leapt off the brink

All those nights spent over bathroom sinks

All those times I should've chosen family but instead chose ink.

The mistakes I've made show me the life I've led

The road of my past is filled with triumph and regret

I get real on the track where i normally hide it

Where my thoughts undivided and normally kept silenced

Yo there's pain in my words, you can't tell when I speak

I know I'm only 20 but been tested, I know I'm weak

But I'm gettin it back thanks to beat of the week

The growth is exponential soon I joining the elite.

Still I'm wishin and wondering when it'll end

Curious bout afterlife when I'm dead

Ponderin if I be pullin the trigger the gun to my head

Nah, wake up! I gotta snap out of it

Do it for the people who joked bout my music and doubted it

I come from the outside, whatchu wanna know

I come from the place where nothing can grow

I'm a lone tree rooted in the spot I'm meant to be

But the winds unkind, they beat you physically and mentally

It's a lonely road, not the path I want to walk

The tick tick tickin of the clock means you can't stop

The outlands hard, they made me who I am

So walk in my shoes, we'll see who's the better man

My whole life is a bunch of people who use the oxygen

I give them to breathe but wanna actually cut me down at my knees

Time's running out, get on it

Chop chop
