Verse 1
I'm not trying to fit in... I'm at peace with the person I am within... so what if I go my own way... why does that get under your skin... why would being authentic to myself make your patience wear thin...?
Bridge
If you continue to sap my energy, then I'll become apathetic... coz if you don't respect my boundaries, I won't be sympathetic...
Chorus
You like to follow the crowd! Well, I like to question aloud!
No, I won't fall in line just so you can feel proud!
You can tell others I was wrong, that I made you weep! To preserve whatever image you're trying to upkeep!
It doesn't matter...
Coz I will always be okay... with being the black sheep!
Verse 2
Rap
You can judge me, that's fine, I get that our brains don't align! But, you're always asking for a signal, a sign! Enforcing your own structure by design! So why is it so hard to let me follow mine? I'm not for you to define, and we shouldn't have to combine!
Okay, I get it! Don't sweat it! You like to remind me so I don't forget it! See, I reflect on my actions before I regret it! Can you do the same, press pause, then reset it! Or do you expect others to follow blindly just because you said it!
Bridge
If you continue to sap my energy, then I'll become apathetic... coz if you don't respect my boundaries, I won't be sympathetic...
Chorus
You like to follow the crowd! Well, I like to question aloud!
No, I won't fall in line just so you can feel proud!
You can tell others I was wrong, that I made you weep! To preserve whatever image you're trying to upkeep!
It doesn't matter...
Coz I will always be okay... with being the black sheep!
Tempo shift
Rap
Okay, sure, you call me stubborn... but I just don't think my life is for you to govern...
I don't have to accept whatever you decide to give... is it really that hard for you to just live and let live...?
Female spoken word
Yes, I'm aware of my left and my right... they both serve a function, so why would they fight?
Bridge
If you continue to sap my energy, then I'll become apathetic... coz if you don't respect my boundaries, I won't be sympathetic...
Chorus
You like to follow the crowd! Well, I like to question aloud!
No, I won't fall in line just so you can feel proud!
You can tell others I was wrong, that I made you weep! To preserve whatever image you're trying to upkeep!
It doesn't matter...
Coz I will always be okay... with being the black sheep...
With being the black sheep...
With being the black sheep!
