The books they read don't say much to me / The streets are talking so you better believe I'm going to listen / And take advantage of every chance I'm given / I won't be sad / Never look back at what I don't have / I've been outcast / You only have one future, one past its true / I've been outcast from the likes of you / Outcast from the likes of you / True outcast / The blueprint for American dreams / Wasn't built to advance the likes of me and you / And you know that it's true / But you want it so bad / You're getting nowhere / Don't be sad / Take advantage of every chance you have / True outcast / I didn't want to do it, I was forced into it / I didn't want to, but I was forced in two / From the likes of you / I'll always be outcast for life.
