Sometimes I feel I don't belong here Sometimes I just don't feel I feel so uninvited A wound that never heals I need a little shelter Just for a little while Sometimes I hide the sadness Behind a painted smile If you cast the first stone I will roll it away I will kneel at your throne Hold my hands up and pray I will hold back the tide Push the oceans aside Save the day But I can be stronger You're all that I am You're all that I see The keys to the kingdom Are waiting for me So don't hold me back Don't hold me down Just hold me and don't let go You're all that I am You're all that I do The end of the rainbow Is waiting for you So tell me I'm right 'Cause this can't move on Not if we belong Whatever happened to forgiveness? Are the words too hard to say? What happened to the answers? They disappeared along the way I hide behind the madness Still looking for the clue And there's nothing left to chance When there's nothing left to lose And the voice in my head Screams the words I believe And the light in the dark Is the air that I breathe You're all that I am You're all that I see The keys to the kingdom Are waiting for me So don't hold me back Don't hold me down Just hold me and don't let go You're all that I am You're all that I do The end of the rainbow Is waiting for you So tell me I'm right 'Cause this can't move on Back where we belong As you cast the first stone And I roll it away And I kneel at your throne These words that I say You're all that I am You're all that I see The keys to the kingdom Are waiting for me So don't hold me back Don't hold me down Just hold me and don't let go You're all that I am You're all that I do The end of the rainbow Is waiting for you So tell me I'm right 'Cause this can't be wrong Not if we belong The keys to the kingdom Are waiting for me

We're bred to acquire an invincibility And let's simplify to fix this civility And then minimise existence with liberty, Led down a line which hits instability A sign of release, Time to unwind, Time to redirect life for frontlines, All I need is one mic and one mind, Isolation helps fight the unkind, When we move forward, A new dawn arrives, But we choose to ignore food for the mind, Who's mortified that we order, Buy, A piece of land And ordered a formal life? Who authorised this competitive normality? Causality's accepting the formalities, Caught battling impetuous mortality, Traumatically misled into storing clarity Yo Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and, Heaven-forbid I go my way man 'Cause I know that it's hard to accept I'm an outcast, Outcast, Outcast Yo Step to the plate, Like a batter up Who's mad enough to smack the ball out the park, Now, How bizarre, Man, That I act bizarre, As an option I close in and self-destruct And now I gotta get it together, Whether it's now or never, Make moves, A man is pressure, My plans are never to advance, So we handle better, Inevitably, Your family stands together, A man's dilemma is less where there's unity found, Who can be down of mind, With this movement of ours? Who, In their cowardice, Who threw in the towel? Who, In their outcast, Will keep true to themselves? Because we don't need a reason to boycot our dreams And follow the lead and I take the lead, Man, With me, I'm the king of my kindom, Shouting out loud, The things that I'm thinkin Yo Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and, Heaven-forbid I go my way man 'Cause I know that it's hard to accept I'm an outcast, Outcast, Outcast Heaven-forbid, Our lives are different, Whether you're choosing to abide by the system, Whether you're losing touch, Like ice addiction, Whether or not you live in a tight position, Whether you cause a space on a righteous mission, Or capitalise and providin riches, I hope you drive or supply for film, At both ends of the spectrum require persistence, With my religious guide and wisdom, Is like a Christian's bible scripture is Lovin the time that you're having to search And just be free, Then capture the worth of a choice, 'Cause that's all we've got, At the end of the day, So call the shots, This man in solitude won't change the making and no matter what you do, Someone will hate it so... Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and, Heaven-forbid I go my way man 'Cause I know that it's hard to accept I'm an outcast, Outcast, Outcast (Repeat)

Getting my piece of the pie I hustle away with the work and the deadline While leaving behind my catalogue with a story like bed time Leaving my freedom even ignoring importance of sleep Dreaming of living large in a big apartment on boulevard settings by the sea See I've been down a bit been out of it sort of like a raving mad men Inadequate to handle shit all I do is work on my rapping Chronically on it honestly losing the use of my mind I need a holiday and bath off a bay my face wrapped in a bit of sunshine But wait now hold up wake up older no ultimatum weights on my shoulders Got enough thoughts that are taking their toll going All around the head like the lines of a bowl cut Under the pressure of getting shredded I know that it's bold but I've been up and then down down and I'm ready for the winter when the snow and the cold come I'VE SEEN THE GREENEST HILLS THINGS THAT GIVE ME FREEZING CHILLS BUT STILL MY WORK CAN BE MY WEAKNESS LIKE ACHILLES' HEEL IT'S NOT A PRETTY DEAL LIVING WITH THIS GRITTY FEEL I KEEP IT REAL BLACK AND GOLD NO FRILLS SON I'VE SEEN THE GREENEST HILLS THINGS THAT GIVE ME FREEZING CHILLS BUT STILL MY WORK CAN BE MY WEAKNESS LIKE ACHILLES' HEEL IT'S NOT A PRETTY DEAL LIVING WITH THIS GRITTY FEEL I KEEP IT REAL BLACK AND GOLD NO FRILLS SON BRIDGE DAY IN DAY OUT MY LIFE WILL SEE THE SAME THINGS PLAY OUT IT MIGHT JUST BE THE WAY THAT I'M PAVING MY FUTURE SOON IT IS CLEAR THAT I NEED TO CHANGE THIS BREAK OUT TO FIND MORE FREEDOM It's sort of like the shining so isolated and dedicated to not wasting time that it's Driving craziness into my life. I need to stop need to let my hair down and watch Watch all the world that is surrounding me not thinking of then What's around the corner when I wake up in the morning Man I better get up all of what I'm waiting for to pile up On a platter put upon the shoulders heavy with the burden Betting all of what I want to get is unattainable to pull off Voice that's inside me forever needing to speak and release I'm never going to get a head what I want to do and now I'm taking time off living life free I take it day to day while witnessing this beauty And then I find that place of all the things I'm losing Claiming it back and attracting all of the things that I need For my whole life toward the raw light the thought is all right with joy to just be
