Outside Looking In Lyrics by Kooleidoscope

Expressing My Whatever

2014

[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 fuck 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 death 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 masses 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 fucker 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 fuck 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 shit to lose, but all to gain
It's so attainable now. I'm killing 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]
