They say i'm vicious and i'm dangerous

They even say that I terrorive plenty

But is it really my attitude and my color

That has me hated by many

Is that why some people and laugh

And start calling me names

And have me feeling like i'm dragging chains

Whenever people look at me strange

They wanna think the worse of me

But i'm not a bad man

Everybody gets angry

I'm not the only madman

I was raised in a way

To see the bad and the good

So people can't tell me how I should live

If they've never been to my hood

When they don't know about the struggles

Because of my color

Or how I never knew my dad

And was raised by a single mother

And how being influenced by my peers

Had me running with thieves

I had gangstas, drug dealers

And rotten apples with me

Because I was brought up in an area

With nothing but riders

And that's why everybody that I know

Fit the name OUTSIDERZ

Now the police wanna question me

To see if i'm hot

But like a California quake

I'ma shake the spot

Like a nine point nine

on the richter scale

Then i'ma hit em up like Pac

Because I too got a story to tell

So I tread easily

Dissect every single word that's said

Because while i'm trying to get in where I fit

I'm always OUTSIDE instead

OUTSIDER for life

That's what i'm screaming

I'm starting to have nightmares

And i'm sweating while i'm dreaming

But i'm never giving up

Making sure I don't fall

Being aware of all the vultures

I keep my back against the wall

I'm an OUTSIDER fa life

So i'm making my own way

And i'm preparing my soul and conscious

For when it's my time at judgement day

Because i'm one of Yahweh's souldiers

And i'm living on earth

Just like Yeshua the Messiah

I been an OUTSIDER since the moment of birth

And that's why I walk with the scum

Sinners, cheaters, and liars

Because everybody in my circle

Fit the name OUTSIDERS.
