Black Sheep

At 22 years old They're telling me I'll never make it on my own That I should leave it all behind & let it go And Let the industry decide my tomorrow But I can feel it & I know I'm getting close I stand on stage with people singing words I wrote I feel the music make its way throughout their bones So if I give it all up now I'll never know You know that I can't be anybody else I feel better when I know myself You keep telling me I need your help I won't ever need your help No I'll never need your help At 23 years old Took just under a year to prove them wrong Now they decide they want to listen to my songs And Take the credit for what I've already done But everything I've done so far I've done alone And Now they're left out leaving missed calls on my phone Trying to cut in line for tickets to my show I guess I knew I had it in me all along You know that I can't be anybody else I feel better when I know myself You keep telling me I need your help I won't ever need your help No I'll never need your help I was told when I was 13 I could do things; others couldn't seem to believe 'Til they met me That's when I'd retreat, to my dreams Where I'd see things, others couldn't see Through a beat, pen & poetry Now I know I breathe for a reason Now I know I write from the mind of the teacher I used to watch the sheep as they wait for a leader Now I guess they found out who I am You know that I can't be anybody else I feel better when I know myself You keep telling me I need your help I won't ever need your help You know that I can't be anybody else I feel better when I know myself You keep telling me I need your help I won't ever need your help No I'll never need your help No I'll never need your help
