Lyrics
[Intro]
And for my next track, I'ma do the typical thing as a rapper and tell you a story.
This story is about The Outcast. Ayo.. ayo!
[Chorus]
It's not that they don't know him, it's not that they don't recognise
They're too busy living their lives
And nobody stops to say hi
He's just an outcast
But you never know, if they got to know him
He probably be someone they would like
And that's just the way it goes
He's just an oucast
[Verse 1]
He's that loner kid that never was accepted
Don't say anything, he puts up and accepts it
Takes the shit on the chin, thick-skinned
Stomach packed with all the ritalin he could fit in
He walks these hallways, always alone
Never played ball, the kids would call names and throw
Stones, hit him and take the piss
Searching the earth for a place to fit
Never had a relationship, too scared to chase the chicks
Kept to himself / That's how it was
Even his family didn't understand the insanity
How can it be? Gettin worst gradually
And all he does is stay quiet, ain't violent
But one day, he'll flip, and break the cycle
For now he'll just sit with his dreams gone
The outcast, and this is his theme song!
[Chorus]
It's not that they don't know him, it's not that they don't recognise
They're too busy living their lives
And nobody stops to say hi
He's just an outcast
But you never know, if they got to know him
He probably be someone they would like
And that's just the way it goes
He's just an oucast
[Verse 2]
It's not that they don't know him, nahh
He just never related to his ma or his pa!
So many days boxed up in his room
Around people, not knowing what the FUCK to do
Not socialising, spending most his time inside
Hoping to die, cause he can't cope with his life
Bone dry, that's the cupboards
His Dad's spending too much time with his stepmother
And other problems arise
People pickin on him, it's probably his size
Ain't confident, doesn't have a confidant
Wishes that his dad had just put the condom on
Unsuccessful, in this stressful cesspool
See all he wants to do is forget school
For now he'll just sit with his dreams gone
The outcast, and this is his theme song!
[Chorus]
It's not that they don't know him, it's not that they don't recognise
They're too busy living their lives
And nobody stops to say hi
He's just an outcast
But you never know, if they got to know him
He probably be someone they would like
And that's just the way it goes
He's just an oucast
[Verse 3]
He's the outcast, cast out of the class
Barely made it through his exams with a pass
Why study? it's boring and bleak
And they don't need another reason to treat him like any more of a geek
There ain't no middle and end, just a start
It finishes when he cuts his arms
Tired of life and without a reason
He doubts his own being, and he drowns in bleeding
The sad thing is the parents don't notice
24 hours pass before the body's found floatin
Kids at school don't even batter an eye lid
That's why he died, cause he thought they'd actually like it
No memory, everyone around starts to forget
He shoulda known he'd of been an outcast in death
So once and for all his dreams gone
The outcast and this was his theme song
[Outro]
You know, I've never really been a preacher
And I never really read too many stories or got any morals or nuffin
But I suppose the message of this story is
You know, there's always someone putting on that fake smile
There's always someone acting like they're all good
When really, they're dying inside
And that's the story of The Outcast
No-one noticed. And he slipped away.
