Black Sheep

At twenty-two years old

They’re telling me I’ll never make it on my own

That I should leave it all behind and let it go

Let the industry decide my tomorrow

But I can feel it and I know I’m getting close

I stand on stage with people singing words I wrote

I feel the music make its way through out the doors

So if I gave it all up now I’ll never know

You know that I can’t be anybody else

I feel better when I know myself

You keep telling me I need your help

I won’t ever need your help

No, I’ll never need your help

At twenty-three years old

Took just under a year to prove them wrong

Now they decide they wanna listen to my songs

And take the credit for what I’ve already done

But everything I’ve done so far I’ve done alone

Now they left at leaving miss calls on my phone

Trying to cut in line for tickets to my show

I guess I knew I had it in me all along

You know that I can’t be anybody else

I feel better when I know myself

You keep telling me I need your help

I won’t ever need your help

No, I’ll never need your help

No, I’ll never need your help

I was told when I was thirteen I could do things

Others couldn’t seem to believe ‘til they met me

That’s when I’d retreat to my dreams

Where I’d see things others couldn’t see through a beat pen and poetry

Now I know I grieve for a reason

Now I know I write from the minds of a teacher

I used to watch the sheep as they wait for a leader

Now I guess they found out who I am

You know that I can’t be anybody else

I feel better when I know myself

You keep telling me I need your help

I won’t ever need your help

No, I’ll never need your help

No, I’ll never need your help
