In this song, Lil Dusty G speaks in a third-person view about himself, how he always feel like an outsider and feels that he would probably stay like that till he dies. The song also speaks about his struggles trying to find happiness and doesn’t want to believe that this is his life.
[Chorus]
What are you running from this time?
Every time you get back, you return to the start line
Is it 'cause you never fit right?
Oh, you never fit in, lookin' in from the outside
Stuck on the outside (Stuck on the outside)
Where there's no sunshine (Where there's no sunshine)
Been there your whole life (Been there your whole life)
Stay there 'til you die (Stay there 'til you die)
[Verse]
Is this what it feels like? Something don't feel right
Day after day, it's the same, that's what life's like
This can't be real life, where is the sunshine?
Thought life was supposed to be great but it's not quite (Quite)
When will I find all the happiness
Everyone seems to be talking about? (Talking about)
When will my questions be answered?
I'm starting to think I'ma figure it out
[Bridge]
On the outside of town (Oh-oh-ohh)
Where you can't hear a sound (Ohh)
Sick of walking around
So sick, I wish I could figure it out (Figure it out)
Oh-oh-ohh
[Chorus]
What are you running from this time?
Every time you get back, you return to the start line
Is it 'cause you never fit right?
Oh, you never fit in, lookin' in from the outside
Stuck on the outside (Stuck on the outside)
Where there's no sunshine (Where there's no sunshine)
Been there your whole life (Been there your whole life)
Stay there 'til you die (Stay there 'til you die)
What are you running from this time?
Every time you get back, you return to the start line
Is it 'cause you never fit right?
Oh, you never fit in, lookin' in from the outside
Stuck on the outside (Stuck on the outside)
Where there's no sunshine (Where there's no sunshine)
Been there your whole life (Been there your whole life)
Stay there 'til you die (Stay there 'til you die)
(Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die)
