Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I won't stay here another night
If I gotta sacrifice
Who I am on the inside
I'd rather be an outsider
And you can stay if you like
I'll see you on the other side
I wanna live the free life
I'd rather be an outsider
I'd rather be an outsider
I'd rather be an outsider
I'd rather be an outsider
Yeah, I'd rather be an outsider
[Verse 2]
I really can't tell if I'm overdressed or I'm underdressed
If I'm underpaid or just overstressed
If I'm cynical or just over this
'Cause I'm tired of tryna get over there
Man, it's over there, party's over
You probably couldn't tell we over here, 'cause you hardly sober
Double shots of that ego
They laughin' at us, yeah, we know
May be at the bottom, but we not forgotten
The director's plottin' that sequel
Till then, we live on the outside
And it might storm and we might die
But I'd rather go with my fist high
Standing outside of yo' inside
[Verse 3]
I tried my best to fit in
Looking for a suit to fit in
Standing outside of yo' prison
Tryna find ways I can get in
Now I realize that I'm free
And I realize that I'm me
And I found out that I'm not alone
'Cause there's plenty people like me
That's right, there's plenty people like me
All love me despite me
And all unashamed, and all unafraid
To speak out for what we might see
I said there's plenty people like me
All outsiders like me
And all unashamed, and all unafraid
To live out what they supposed to be, outsiders
[Verse 4]
I won't stay here another night
If I gotta sacrifice
Who I am on the inside
I'd rather be an outsider
And you can stay if you like
I'll see you on the other side
I wanna live the free life
I'd rather be an outsider
I'd rather be an outsider
I'd rather be an outsider
I'd rather be an outsider
I'd rather be an outsider
[Verse 5]
I know what they askin' fo', I know what they askin' fo'
But how you gon' cover charge me my life and soul
And then turn around and ask for mo'?
Time to go, plus the line is long
I'ma color the outside where the lines are drawn
If you wanna exclude me for being the true me, it's Gucci
I already found my home, homesick
Homeless if I'm honest
'Cause my home is somewhere I ain't never been before
I'ma hone this here gift even if it doesn't fit
In the box that'll please these folks
Some of y'all gonna need these quotes
I ain't tryna eat, I'm tryna feed these folks
Martin, Mandela, yeah, we need these folks
We believe these folks, we could be these folks
Yeah, but they want me to take an L
Tired of taking losses so they can call me a failure
I failed at being you, but I'm winning at being me
I'm winning at being free
Ain't no competition but me
See, I realize that I'm free
And I realize that I'm me
And I found out that I'm not alone
And there's plenty people like me
I said there's plenty people like me
All outsiders like me
All unashamed and all unafraid
To live out what they supposed to be, outsiders
[Verse 6]
It's been too dark, so many lies
Turn on the lights, open your eyes
Oh, oh, oh
We'll be runnin' through the night
It's brighter on the other side
Oh, oh, oh
Something's bigger than you and I
Brighter on the other side
Brighter on the other side
Brighter on the other side
Brighter on the other side
Brighter on the other side
