Black Sheep
[00:00.43] At 22 years old
[00:02.94] They're telling me I'll never make it on my own
[00:06.45] That I should leave it all behind & let it go
[00:10.47] And Let the industry decide my tomorrow
[00:14.74] But I can feel it & I know I'm getting close
[00:18.55] I stand on stage with people singing words I wrote
[00:22.32] I feel the music make its way throughout their bones
[00:26.59] So if I give it all up now I'll never know
[00:30.11] You know that I can't be anybody else
[00:34.92] I feel better when I know myself
[00:38.94] You keep telling me I need your help
[00:42.98] I won't ever need your help
[00:48.51] No I'll never need your help
[00:49.80] At 23 years old
[00:52.56] Took just under a year to prove them wrong
[00:55.85] Now they decide they want to listen to my songs
[00:59.62] And Take the credit for what I've already done
[01:03.89] But everything I've done so far I've done alone
[01:07.42] And Now they're left out leaving missed calls on my phone
[01:11.45] Trying to cut in line for tickets to my show
[01:15.51] I guess I knew I had it in me all along
[01:19.28] You know that I can't be anybody else
[01:24.32] I feel better when I know myself
[01:28.09] You keep telling me I need your help
[01:32.13] I won't ever need your help
[01:34.90] No I'll never need your help
[01:52.80] I was told when I was 13
[01:59.08] I could do things; others couldn't seem to believe
[01:59.58] 'Til they met me
[02:00.86] That's when I'd retreat, to my dreams
[02:03.12] Where I'd see things, others couldn't see
[02:06.14] Through a beat, pen & poetry
[02:08.40] Now I know I breathe for a reason
[02:11.43] Now I know I write from the mind of the teacher
[02:15.20] I used to watch the sheep as they wait for a leader
[02:19.22] Now I guess they found out who I am
[02:22.25] You know that I can't be anybody else
[02:27.27] I feel better when I know myself
[02:31.06] You keep telling me I need your help
[02:35.09] I won't ever need your help
[02:38.88] You know that I can't be anybody else
[02:43.16] I feel better when I know myself
[02:46.93] You keep telling me I need your help
[02:50.72] I won't ever need your help
[02:53.53] No I'll never need your help
