R.J. Tolson - Black Sheep Soul lyrics

[Verse 1] Two young eyes have seen the sights Of the discouraging ma**es pressing down Every time this child expressed a dream Encouragement never seemed to be mainstream Two growing ears have heard the sounds Of a multitude of people all the same Frightened by anything that's different And handing out large amounts of shame [Chorus] But i know deep down in my black sheep soul That they don't have me under their control And i will not act out anyone else's role Cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul [Verse 2] Reading all the books i ever can Never really getting an answer or a plan But even so, i knew not to stop The world is mine, and ill never drop Ask me again how i grew up Nothing more painful, than an a empty cup Until i found just the right flock I was out by seven o'clock [Chorus] But i know deep down in my black sheep soul That they don't have me under their control And i will not act out anyone else's role Cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul [Bridge] Two grownup hands have built this life While tuning out the skeptical voices Whose life am i really expected to live When i'm the one who makes the choices [Chorus] But i know deep down in my black sheep soul That they'll never have me under their control And i will not act out anyone else's role Cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul But i know deep down in my black sheep soul That they don't have me under their control And i will not act out anyone else's role Cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul
