Royce Da 5'9" - Outside Lyrics






[Robert Glasper:]
I was also gonna ask about your fear as an individual
You know, this is plenty of people, feel a sense of security around you and kinda lean on you
You ever feel like a certain amount of pressure from that?
Do you ever get afraid?

[Royce Da 5'9":]
Of course I do
I mean everybody gets afraid sometimes

[Robert Glasper:]
What possibly could make you afraid?
What are you afraid of? (afraid of, afraid of)

[Royce Da 5'9":]
(I'm afraid, I'm afraid)
(Sometimes I'm even afraid to admit..)
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of the weight of my problems
Haters working overtime, 8 or 9 jobs worth
All these wanted ski masks niggas
Old basketball shorts under jean ass niggas needa know
I'm a product of a dead poet riding at it's low
Equals Mia Angelo, my emphatic flow can rise the status quo
Lying on the panic floor
Addict at it's best
Eradicated from the fabricated
Afraid at the thought of releasing music that's indicative of where I'm at in life
Will they like? Will they hate?
The better question is if they hate it is you down to pay the price?
I'll look you right in your eyes and say you mother fuckin' right
Don't bother me with adversity, I conquered more ground than King Kong could
All I think about these days is Mom good
'Cause she diabetic
My daddy just had a cancer scare
And do he still work at the post office? The answer's yeah
I'm introverted, knowing that it's not about Oz
Bigger problems outside

[Marsha Ambrosius:]
There's a war going on outside
That no man is safe from
You see you can smile but that won't change the color of your skin
But I'm the sinner
Yet you kick me, punch me, say don't trust me
Shoot me down like I'm up to something
Fuck with me and say I've deceived you
But how's that legal? Am I that evil?
Why do you hate me?

[Royce Da 5'9":]
I'm afraid of you going to college and not acknowledging I'm your father 'cause you not proud enough
But I fought hard to make sure you never see certain things I'm a product of
It's easy to confuse being a father with being a provider
But all we got is us and I'm afraid to lose you
You the coolest kid I ever saw
She did a good job with you
Sometimes I hesitate to take credit for raising you too
'Cause all I did was discipline
I never taught you to ride a bike but we still a lot alike
And you making music now? I wonder what made you wanna give this a spin
You know what I'm about to say next, right?
I'm afraid of you drinkin'
Though I never taught you to swim, I'm afraid of you sinkin'
I know I taught you to fight, you ain't in condition to win this
You wired different
You just ain't the nigga you friends is, it's scientific
Not my opinion so you know you genetically predisposed to more than just eating soul food
So I'm afraid of you to try to risk it
You in a gene pool with a lot of sick fish
And I'm the sickest of them all
Alcoholics stop from the symptoms of withdrawal
Look out the window, tell me what you see
Police shootin' brothers the color of you and me
And they actin' like they hate us so you may just wanna love yourself enough to compensate it
If I can say this, say this one thing, this one thing non-related
You were never, ever, ever, better than me in basketball

Yeah right, sure...

  1. M.... D....

    Did joe delete the interview with Royce? Wtf

  2. n.... a....

    I can't see it, and his podcast is really successful. Of course, I will never say never, though.

  3. A.... Y....

    Mal is always acting like a bitch checking his phone

  4. J.... M....

    Joe could spit-

    I could tell you why I'm hot and disappear like MIMS
    But the bars there, put that on God, ask an atheist
    And if I ain't the bomb at least I'm in the blast radius
    I'm beating these kids' indictment, shit, I like the terror
    APB on my actions, I'm in the viking era
    Moment of truth, I give you facts right now
    Fuck this cypher, my mind ain't on rap right now
    So it's fuck metaphors and punches, all the witty shit
    Got a missing uncle and another need a kidney flip
    Face says I been stressed
    I got an aunt getting her ass kicked by MS
    Nigga, why am I here? For the look, for the promo
    Shit that bothered from the start
    Cause the cancer left his lungs and it's on my grandfather's heart
    Yeah, just not the side that the beat is on
    I'm supposed to put that to the side when the beat is on
    I'm planning the funeral, I'm getting the hearse ready
    These niggas only wanna ask me if the verse is ready
    Not a how do I feel, not a how do I deal
    If that's the life, nigga, then how is it real?
    These last couple of days I've been speaking to my peers
    Giving them cries for help, I guess they need to see the tears
    But wait, wildest part of all of that is
    They'll shoot a suicidal rapper right here on the bridge
    But fuck it, gotta pardon 'em, shout out to my squad and 'em
    House Gang, Shady, I'm gone, nigga, my job is done

  5. J.... M....

    "And if I ain't the bomb, At least I'm in the blast radius" - Joe Budden

  6. r.... ....

    God damn Joe Buddens voice is annoying no wonder why his albums flopped

  7. R.... R....

    C'mon Joe.. back to future again.. can't wait slaughterhouse return 🔥

  8. T.... B....

    Joe can't ever come out of retirement lol he already expired himself once lmao all he got is a small pocket of fans who pretend he's not wack as fuck but the rest of us know. If he comes out of retirement than his little pocket it's gonna shrink lmao pump pump pump it up lmao fucking fraud

  9. A.... V....

    Mad respect for Royce.. he is the peace maker of the hip hop industry. He resolved the joyner-logic beef, united fat joe and em on a song, is well respected by a lot of people and is an amazing rapper. He deserves more respect!!

  10. Z.... 2....

    MM5 ON THE WAY

  11. M.... T....

    Am I the only one that wants joe and em to squash the beef so that slaughterhouse can show the black squad what real bars are?🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    M.... T....

    Joe butthead is trash

  12. L.... I....

    Cyhi would body Joe.

  13. R.... R....

    *Hilarious!!!*

  14. C.... H....

    These fools sound like my kousin and her friends.

    You should call him

    And say what

    Hi

  15. S.... ....

    They all color coordinated. Mal dressed like the Bronx personified

  16. R.... C....

    Mal put your knees away

  17. t.... ....

    Mal, stfu

  18. L.... O....

    The Royce Budden Eminem link is kinda awkward

    L.... O....

    Joe gonna come out of retirement and have a feature from eminem, and a track with slaughterhouse,

  22. M.... ....

    Mal said his man is out here in a velvet onesie 🤣🤣

  23. c.... ....

    Joe Budden is an average rapper at best

    c.... ....

    clammyclaude nah he’s dope. Real dope

  24. K.... a....

    Why budden act like he is the shit? No one knows who u are buddy

  25. P.... P....

    Nah fuck KAP!!! He didn't workout for no teams in the last 3 years then he got a shot to workout for like 8 team's. Then he moves his workout a an hour before. KAP sucks. If he wasn't trash, he would've been playing 3 years ago!!!

  26. I.... S....

    If I see Joe butten ima go up to him and slap him with some baby powder.

  27. P.... C....

    Funny how Joe and Royce started off beefin' and now they close friends
    Joe Budden should get out of retirement though especially now when his podcast is poppin'
    Halfway house and mood muzik 4 are classics in my book

  28. F.... F....

    I can't wait till budden comes back man

  29. J.... T....

    Mal looks like a big ugly soft baby......

  30. C.... O....

    Lmfao not unless you gotta rapping ghost machine for em it ain't even gonna hope to mean a row of beans when joes not even a dope emcee.

  31. Z.... G....

    Joe ain't put out anything good since loose quarter...

  32. C.... C....

    Fat Joe?

  33. B.... 3....

    Ayo Joe come on God u gotta do a remix now 💯💯💯

  34. L.... D....

    Kapernick reeeeeeeeeeeeee shut up dude Kap sucks

  35. R.... R....

    Joe dresses like he owns 3 car washes

  36. T.... M....

    Joe going hard with the hats suddenly

  37. L.... C....

    Just realized Mal looks like Michael Che

  38. A.... Y....

    Joe when r u going to respond to Eminem or is it cuz you are scared he will destroy you and make you butt hurt again

    A.... Y....

    ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK why bring this up man, I’d love for them to squash the beef and do a track together

  39. 1.... 1....

    I'd buy a need Joe Budden album for sho but can't be like No love Lost ,his last 2 all love Lost an Rage are classic plus all mood Musik tapes

  40. J.... G....

    I'm literally sitting in front of Jets Pizza right now. Fucking crazy.

  41. E.... L....

    anyones/everyone is a rapper now. No wonder he quit from it.

  42. j.... d....

    Joe said "I tell you buddy" 😂😂

  43. C.... R....

    I was just thinking to myself if joe was still in shape to put an album out today.

  44. J.... J....

    Damn it not even a minute in and already regretting clicking on this video. However after hearing the new Royce I just had to see if Joe could be objective.

  45. y.... N....

    The vibe is so much better and upbeat with these dudes compared to the first like 100 episodes. Love this shit.

  46. J.... P....

    Mal dress like a 8th grade girl

  47. B.... K....

    Royce Da GOAT

  48. t.... ....

    Joe stop playing n give us more!

  49. C.... O....

    Mal a real one.

  50. J.... R....

    Royce is better than Em..Yup I said it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    J.... R....

    James Riley Royce is a monster no doubt, but Royce would tell you he’s not. Eminem has the best pen game in the history of MCs and Rakims my favorite rapper.

    J.... R....

    Right now it's tight. Royce best albums still don't compete with Em's best albums.

    J.... R....

    comes down to consistency.

  51. c.... a....

    Drop your favorite Budden track...

  52. T.... T....

    I hope so Joe... you know we need that Griselda/ Slaughterhouse colab track asap! 🍻

  53. D.... G....

    Joe and his friends seem like cool people. God bless

  54. J.... T....

    “I brought cash to the party,

    I never thought I’d lose Kash to the Pardi” 😂😂😂

  55. C.... L....

    The dude in the high chair looks looks like a swagged out iguana

    C.... L....

    What 🤣🤣🤣

  56. G.... H....

    These guys try way to hard to be cool. Plus nobody knows what the hell yall are talking about half the time. Cut the bs and get to the damn point.

  57. M.... B....

    Who cares about what joe budden thinks about anything

  58. J.... D....

    Joe's voice gives me a headache

  59. f.... ....

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  60. C.... P....

    Mal noone cares if you dont watch football fyi 👌☝️

  61. D.... M....

    Bruh still mad at the NFL.😂
    Get over yourself

  62. j.... ....

    3rd verse should of been black thought

  63. J.... C....

    Joe..good stuff..

  64. H.... A....

    Joe should definitely come back to music..at least part time

  65. M.... ....

    Joey what you wearing my guy I meeeeeeeean it's good for you

  66. M.... T....

    the black culture spokemen shouldnt be selling o9ut the nlack people like ya do

  67. M.... E....

    Please bring Joe out of retirement

  68. l.... ....

    Best believe there a direct or indirect diss towards Joe on Royce's album that will best bring Mouse out of retirement

  69. k.... P....

    Marl shouldn't wear ripped jeans looks like to Hams poking out lol

  70. J.... ....

    Royce is top 3 lyrical DOA

  71. T.... G....

    If joe waiting for a reason to spit why didn't he respond to em ? that would have been the rivalry that might have needed to settled

  72. I.... a....

    hope so slaughterhouse reunion

  73. r.... ....

    Glad to see Joe and Royce are still great friends.

  74. A.... N....

    T.i is better than u joe let s talk about it

  75. G.... ....

    Never understood why rappers put a time limit on their voice. Meanwhile country singers n rock singers still making music in their 60s. There is such thing as grown man rap now.

  76. K.... W....

    Why this dude Malaysia dress like a teenager. Isn't he over 40.. lol

  77. G.... J....

    I only ever listen to Joe Budden when hes spitting flames on a mic

    G.... J....

    That's never

  78. b.... c....

    Then this must be one fire album to make Joe want to pick up the mic again...and we all know how he gets down

  79. C.... P....

    Bet you Joe is afraid to say he’s better than Em in front of Royce... probably the only time Royce would be like “nahhhh man, you ain’t got that one I’m sorry” lol or just not say anything at all.

  80. K.... S....

    Maybe Mona Scott can offer Joe Budden some money to come out of retirement.

  81. T.... D....

    Can't get eminem so let's get royce

    T.... D....

    stfu stan

  82. f.... u....

    at this point in joe’s career, would be smart to drop new music

  83. T.... C....

    Jets pizza! Only Michigan people will understand that comment

  84. f.... u....

    joe KNOW he wanna drop some music

  85. j.... b....

  96. I.... a....

  98. I.... a....

    I’m interested in the posters/paintings in the back. “Is the new hell”? What is the new hell

  99. S.... L....

    They a trip trip

  100. P.... ....

    Royce is twice the MC Buddens was, is or ever will dream to be! I’m sick of folks saying Buddens is or was nice 😂 FOH with that! His EXCUSE is being (Retired) to not respond to Slim Shady.....Shady would BURY this clown any day of the last Decade PLUS! This dude probably goes home everyday and bumps to (Pump It Up) 🤣. Royce just keeping the peace because he’s grown a mature.

    P.... ....

    You really don’t know shit about shit, do you?
