Kelly portis - Outside Looking In lyrics

[Intro] I feel like the genius of our time Might just be a miss who's into spitting rhymes I feel like this ain't another song That I'm pushing through the mic, realize it's real life I feel like I'm outside, looking in Counting all the problems, I don't know where to begin Trying to wake the f** up and trying to break the trend But if nobody's listening, then? [Verse 1] Am I ready for the attention? From those who disagree with me and become apprehensive Cuz I ain't what you're used to seeing and our beliefs become defenses My agenda's an abomination, so I'm getting d**h threats? I'm everything you already expected And more too, previous prejudices laid to rest In peace; What I breathe and believe answers all the hardest questions Life throws at us when the ma**es are left guessing But it's okay to be unsure, as long as it's tested Up-to-date hypothesis, revised and edited Shouts from all directions. I swear the tension's never-ending We fight about who's wrong or right and disregard the message That you and I and that mother f**er you can't stand Were only born to die fighting for some promised land Try to picture and understand You ain't the only one implementing scriptures in your plans [Hook] I feel like I'm outside, looking in Counting all the problems, I don't know where to begin Trying to wake the world up and trying to break the trend But if nobody's listening, then? [Verse 2] I'm trying to stay up, I'm trying to get my life straight Ever since that evening flight, I kinda got my mind made I'm gonna be that magic I imagine day to day Where my music's moving mountains and I'm finally getting paid Something brewing in my brain, and here I thought I was insane When I was really dope as hell, cuz I had something else to say Ain't for everyone, but f** it, I'm grinding anyway Ask anyone. I'm spreading love, cuz love can moderate one's hate Bitterness consumes and won't alleviate your pain I know it, I've had my share, and still I can't complain Cuz when you get that low, you don't got sh** to lose, but all to gain It's so attainable now. I'm k**ing cats and taking names And where I'm coming from, yo we don't like to play I stay about it, practice what I preach. Free to validate Whoa, I said we ain't into playing games I stay about it, practice what I preach. Y'all can validate [Hook]
