Yeah…
This ain’t for sympathy…
This just everything I never said out loud…
Verse 1
I learned how to hide pain with a smile on my face,
Felt like I was running, never finding my place.
Same blood, same roots, but I still felt apart,
Ain’t nobody ever asked what was breaking my heart.
I was giving out love, they was giving out distance,
Started building walls just to keep my resistance.
Everybody got a role, guess mine was being strong,
But being strong get lonely when you carry it too long.
Pre-Hook
Maybe I was never meant to fit in…
Maybe that’s the reason I stand out now.
Had to lose a lot just to find me…
They don’t understand me anyhow.
Hook (Melodic)
Black sheep… yeah, that’s what they call me,
Looking for love where nobody saw me.
Fighting my battles, ain’t nobody checking,
Smiling on the outside while my heart keep stressing.
If I burn bridges… don’t say I changed,
I got tired of carrying everybody’s pain.
I still got love… but I choose my peace,
Sometimes letting go is the only relief.
Verse 2
Me and my little cousin, I hate how we drifted apart,
Never thought silence would hit this hard.
Used to laugh all day, now we don’t even talk,
Funny how family can turn into strangers with time.
And my daddy… man, that’s a different kind of hurt,
Every little girl just wanna know what she’s worth.
I wasn’t asking for the world, just a little more time,
Wondering if you ever saw yourself when you looked in my eyes.
I ain’t mad… I’m just healing out loud,
Turning all this pain into something I’m proud of.
They’ll probably hear this and say that I switched,
Nah… I just finally stopped pretending I wasn’t hurt.
Bridge (Sung)
I’m tired of chasing people…
Who never chased me.
I’m done proving my worth…
To people who can’t see.
Final Hook
Black sheep… now I wear it with pride,
Everything I survived made me who I am inside.
If I gotta walk alone, I’ma still be alright,
God been writing my story every day, every night.
And maybe one day they’ll understand me…
Maybe one day they won’t…
Either way…
I’m finally coming home to myself.
