NF - Outcast Lyrics






Woke up in the cell, where am I at?
Yeah, it's cold, but I like that
What, am I trapped?
Heart's beating out of my chest
Door's locked, but the keys are in my hands
Hm, yeah, that's weird, it doesn't make sense, does it?
I make songs, I don't make friends, judge me
Might smile, but it ain't that funny
Sing along to the pain, they love it
Life's like a merry-go-round
And I'm still tryna figure it out
I like space I don't fit in the crowds
My whole life I've been airin' it out
Oh, I'm gettin' into character now
Feels wrong, but it feels right
My feelings seal tight real nice
But I will fight anything to win
But I'm not Mike Tyson, I won't bite ya'
But I will tell you if I don't like you
I am not the norm
I got my own shoes, I ain't tryna fit in yours
I never been married, but I've felt divorced
Hi, I'm Nate, have we met before
Somebody told you I was wack? Check the source
Somebody told you I was back? Yes, of course
You got a problem with the fans? There's the door
You lookin' for the old me? Check the morgue, ah!
Not a fortune-teller, but I can see into the future better
Ain't no tellin' what'll happen when I pick up the microphone, get the fans together
Same style, but the songs are better
Been a year and a half, feels like it's gone forever
Ain't no drink in my hand, but you know the buzz is comin'
Big steps in the game, yeah, the Hulk is running
My thoughts are funny, it feels like I'm on to something, yeah

I'm high off the music, my head's in the clouds
I kinda like it up here, I'm not comin' down
I'd rather be alone, I am not good in crowds
Which is kinda confusin' I know, been that way since a child
They laughin', they tell me I'll never get out
I'm just tryna be me, I am nobody else
I don't care what you think, I'm just bein' myself
So I guess for now

I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I guess I'll be the outcast

Yeah, I guess I don't fit the mold of rap
'Cause I'm respectin' women
"I heard your record, I was laughin at it"
Maybe they would like me more if I got a little graphic with it
Nah, I don't wanna blend in with you little rappin' idiots, I'd rather be the outcast
I ain't never puttin' out trash
I take a hundred and staple it right to my tongue
I always put the money where my mouth's at, ah!
Feels good to be here now
I'm a weird person with a weird crowd
What, you don't like that?
That's cool, that's great, that's fine, okay, you can leave now
Got a weird smile, but I like it though
I paint it on me and I'm walkin' to the microphone
And put the caution tape around me like I did in Intro I, yeah!
Yeah, they got me reminiscin' now!
You done know I'm 'bout to go mad
Never wanted something so bad
Goosebumps through the whole track
Ain't no way I'm gonna hold back
Got me thinkin' that I'm cookin' in a meth lab
I don't blow it up in front of my own eyes
You look a little lost, you ain't get that?
Comin' from a town where nobody hears a rap like this
I never get the memo, must've missed that
Wow!
Here I go in my feelings again, I can feel it again
So I lay in my bed, in my cell with the pen
And I dwell on my sins, I keep wonderin' when
Time to open the doors, they don't know who I am
But I pick up the keys and I put on my Timbs
And I stare at the locks and the tat on my skin
And I think to myself, "I don't wanna fit in"

I'm high off the music, my head's in the clouds
I kinda like it up here, I'm not comin' down
I'd rather be alone, I am not good in crowds
Which is kinda confusin', I've not been that way since I was a child
They laughin', they tell me I'll never get out
I'm just tryna be me, I am nobody else
I don't care what you think, I'm just bein' myself
So I guess for now

Yeah, I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I guess I'll be the outcast

Yeah, tryna focus
Take a knife to my head then I cut it open
Take my brain, put it on the floor tryna figure out my motives
Y'all thought I was an issue when the door was locked
Nah, you should see me when the door opens
Every night I can hear voices
Put a camera in my face, might turn Joker like I'm Mike Posner
Always been a little complex
Difficult to process
Some of y'all wanna sit around and try to pick apart my bars
Here's some lines you could dissect:
If I'ma die, I'ma die givin' everything that I have
Take a deep breath, I don't need y'all's respect
I'm a reject kid at recess playin' games with his make-believe friends
Yeah, I don't ever take a night off
Lights off in the room and I write songs
I might fall into my thoughts once in a while when the mic's off
You ain't ever seen no drive like mine, better hop outta my car
I'm about to unlock my doors
You ain't got a seat belt on, better find one
Gettin' sick of people tellin' me to smile more
T.S. was a chapter I'll never forget, it was therapy for me
But it's time to turn the page now
Hey, shut up! I'm tryna tell 'em my story!
I'm sorry, I wasn't yellin' at y'all, I was talkin' to the voices
I rip out the drums of the industry's ears for tryin' to ignore me and playin' while singin' this chorus

I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I guess I'll be the outcast

I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I'll just be the outcast
I guess I'll be the outcast

    This song ! The words! The meaning behind the bars even the painted joker on his face ! It's me inside and out it makes me laugh hysterically but makes me cry like nothing else ..oh the pain is real while I cry but the pain is what motivates me as I laugh and ( seriously have ) painted my face as the joker ..( not just on Halloween)..thank you NF for producing your music your words are real and its therapy for you and works as therapy for me 😘
    P.s. if you ever get tired of the way you do your joker look ..look me up I can do it so that it looks real af..plus it would be cool to pick your brain on the concepts of "life " your cool.af ..and I'm not saying that to be a groupie..I actually think that your mind is so fckn interesting .! Society likes to put down the odd ones out ..because we chose not to be sheep like the rest of them ..mind control ..fckn loser government ..the moment that we have our own ideas or even if we catch onto what is really happening with our minds ..the moment we realize it's not right and fck that we wont be controlled ..we wont let them violate our minds or our innocents ..they tell us we are fucked up ..we have problems we dont belong we are mental ..take sum pills ..pills pills pills ..instead of trying to understand the root of our problem they'd rather shun us shut us up and drug us up..haha the #1 sideeffect to your meds is suicidal..says the bottle ..and you tell the doctor ..hmmm but I am or have been suicidal..isn't that what we are trying to avoid here ? Isn't that the reason I'm supposed to take these pills so that it can "help" me.? Wtf ?! ..doctor just looks at you ( and especially.if your a pretty blonde ) looks at you like your fckn "barbie" ( granted I am the barbie type without the dumb ) but that's exactly it ..doctor looks at you with a shocked look like ..holy crap I thought she was dumb Cuz she's nothing but a psycho dumb blonde barbie ..and for that second you think finally.someone that's gonna listen to me ..but falls in deep disappointment when he answers ..yes suicide is #1 side effect...pauses..I'm looking at him.like well...??....he answers ...well....good luck ..take as its prescribed hands me the info sheet and a pamphlet of suicide help lines ..and tells me.to have a great day ..WOW!

    Edit: The next person I see or hear say he is the second Eminem I'm just gonna start blaring "Destiny" or I'mma put the link to it and tell them to listen to it cause he ain't the second Eminem he is the first damn Nate and people who confuse him with Eminem should re think their point of view on any type of rap just listen to this and that's all ya need.

    The best type of rapper in my opinion is the type who raps how he/she feels, and pulls you in when you listen/pay attention to the lyrics in the song. In my opinion NF does exactly this. Keep it up😎
