[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Yo, we're bred to acquire an invincibility
And let's simplify to fix this civility
And then minimise existence with liberty
Led down a line which hits instability
A sign of release, time to unwind
Time to redirect life for frontlines
All I need is one mic and one mind
Isolation helps fight the unkind
When we move forward, a new dawn arrives
But we choose to ignore food for the mind
Who's mortified that we oughta buy
A piece of land in order to form a life?
Who authorised this competitive normality?
Causality's accepting the formalities
Caught battling impetuous mortality
Traumatically misled into storing clarity, yo
[Chorus]
Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and
Heaven-forbid I go my way, man
'Cause I know that it's hard to accept
I'm an outcast, outcast, outcast
Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and
Heaven-forbid I go my way, man
'Cause I know that it's hard to accept
I'm an outcast, outcast, outcast
[Verse 2]
Yo, step to the plate like a batter up
Who's mad enough to smack the ball out the park
Now, how bizarre, man, that I act bizarre
As an option I close in and self-destruct
And now I gotta get it together whether it's now or never
Make moves, a man is pressure
My plans are never to advance so we handle better
Inevitably, your family stands together
A man's dilemma is less where there's unity found
Who can be down of mind with this movement of ours?
Who in their cowardice, who threw in the towel?
Who in their outcast will keep true to themselves?
Because we don't need a reason to boycott our dreams
And follow the lead and I take the lead, man
With me, I'm the king of my kingdom
Shouting out loud the things that I'm thinkin, yo
[Chorus]
Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and
Heaven-forbid I go my way, man
'Cause I know that it's hard to accept
I'm an outcast, outcast, outcast
Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and
Heaven-forbid I go my way, man
'Cause I know that it's hard to accept
I'm an outcast, outcast, outcast
[Scratches]
"That's what happen, now what's your reaction?"
"Guess I'm just a radical"
"That's what happen, now what's your reaction?"
"Guess I'm just a radical"
[Verse 3]
Heaven-forbid our lives are different
Whether you're choosing to abide by the system
Whether you're losing touch like ice addiction
Whether or not you live in a tight position
Whether your cause is based on a righteous mission
Or capitalising and providing riches
I hope your drive'll supply fulfilment
Both ends of the spectrum require persistence
With my religious guide and wisdom is
Like a Christian's bible scripture is
Loving the time that you have on this earth
And just be free then capture the worth
Of a choice 'cause that's all we've got
At the end of the day so call the shots
This man in solitude won't change the making
No matter what you do, someone will hate it so
[Chorus]
Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and
Heaven-forbid I go my way, man
'Cause I know that it's hard to accept
I'm an outcast, outcast, outcast
Heaven-forbid I don't be a slave and
Heaven-forbid I go my way, man
'Cause I know that it's hard to accept
I'm an outcast, outcast, outcast
[Scratches]
