Lecrae - Anomaly Album Lyrics

[Hook:]
I won't stay here another night
If I gotta sacrifice
Who I am on the inside
I'd rather be an outsider
And you can stay if you'd like
I'll see you on the other side
I wanna live the free life
I'd rather be an outsider [x5]

[Verse 1 - Lecrae:]
Yeah
Outsiders
I really can't tell if I'm over-dressed or I'm under-dressed
If I'm under-paid, or just over-stressed
If I'm cynical, or just over this
Cause I'm tired of trying to get over them
Man its over then, parties over
You probably couldn't tell that we over here, because you hardly sober
Double shots in that ego
They laughing at us, yeah we know
Maybe at the bottom, but we not forgotten
The directors plotting that sequel
Till' then we live on the outside
And it might storm and we might die
But, I'd rather go where my fist high
Standing outside of your inside
I tried my best to fit in
Looking for a suit to fit in
Standing outside of your prison
Trying to find ways I could get in
Now I realize that I'm free
And I realize that I'm me
And I found out that I'm not alone cause' theirs plenty people like me
That's right theirs plenty people like me
All love me, despite me
And all unashamed and all unafraid to speak out for what we might see
I said theirs plenty people like me
All outsiders like me
And all unashamed and all unafraid to live out what they supposed to be

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - Lecrae:]
Uh
I know what they asking for, I know what they asking for
But, how you gonna come and charge me, my life is sold, and then turn around and ask for more
Time to go, plus the line is long
I'ma color the outside, but lines a drone
If you wanna exclude me, for being the true me
It's Gucci, I already found my home
Homesick
Homeless, if I'm on this
Cause' my home is somewhere I ain't never been before
I'ma own this here gift, even if it doesn't fit in the box that'll bleed these folks
Some of ya'll don't need these quotes
I ain't tryna' eat, I'm tryna' feed these folks
Martin Man Delegate, we need these folks
We believe these folks
We can be these folks
Yeah
But, they want me to take an L
Tired of taking losses, so they can call me a failure
I failed at being you, but I'm winning at being me
I'm winning at being free, ain't no competition but me
See I realize that I'm free
And I realize that I'm me
And I found out that I'm not alone, and theirs plenty of people like me
I said theirs plenty of people like me
All outsiders like me
All unashamed and all unafraid to live out what they supposed to be
Outsiders!

[Outro:]
You spend your time
So many lives
Turn on the lights
Open your eye
We'll be running through the night
Its brighter on the other side
Somethings bigger than You and I
Brighter on the other side [x5]

[Hook:]
I won't stay here another night

I never said he was an outcast
In grade school, I was blastin' my Outkast
And now pass on running' to catch a route pass
Give me a pen and a pad I'll try to outlast
All of my idols, America into foreign arts
Before I heard all of these boring bars
Money, money, money, sex, drugs, and some 4NRs
All this killin' but where the bodies at?
All this money but where the Bugattis at?
But dig a little deeper and you'll find another insecure man sittin' in a two seater
The same little boy that got beat up
With plenty pains in his past you can bring up
Nobody ever told him he could be more than he is, but inside he's a leader
I didn't know who was inside me either
Striving to be a captain, hoping I can date a cheerleader
Trying to get a throne on my own so I can put my feet up
Thank God my kingdom was overthrown by The Redeemer

Yeah, anomaly
Deviation From The Common Rule
Somethin' or somebody that's abnormal,
and dosen't fit in
I say that's exactly what we are.
We are the odd,
The outcast,
The peculiar,
The Strangers.
And they say you don't fit in
But I say,God exactly God created us to be anomalies
The system didn't plan for this.

[Hook x2:]
Lights off
Ain't nobody watching me
I heard about the man in the sky
But he probably fell asleep
Yeah, and you say Audemars, Audemars, Audemars
But still don't know the time that sun comes down from the stars

[Verse 1:]
Yeah, they say that time waits for no man
Nah, hey probably lyin'
Cause time wait on me like a servant all of the time
But I know some people who actually serving time
Committed to this grind, or just committed some crime
Sometimes I wish some more time to think
And all the time in the world is all the time I need
And I know eternity's calling but my mind too busy racing to pay any mind
Spend a whole lot of money on a watch
Ironic cause I got it but I hardly sit and watch the time tick by
I spend time trying to buy it to own time
Never thought that I was only wasting my own time
Who holds time?
They say he'll be coming in no time
Pray I pay attention, cause I'm giving him no time
When the lights off, is anybody watching me?
Heard the man above never slumber, never sleep

[Hook]

[Verse 2:]
On the corners, in the alleys
I see coners and cowards
Scared to question their existence like ain't no final hour
Can we blame the sins of a reverend for all our irreverence?
Does my time spent on earth qualify me for heaven?
Did we tick him off by wasting all these ticks on this clock?
Or is he graciously giving me time to give him my heart?
I'm sure it's the latter, sure that it matters
And I believe I've been given all this time so I could try to redeem it
Or make the most of this stopwatch that I'm racing
You stop the watch you ain't racing
You erasing your minutes, you can't replace 'em
And at the end of your days when eternity's in your face
You'll have one life to offer up and it's service to lay to waste
So my Rollie's telling me to roll out
Make investments with my time while I'm tryna hold out
And fame, money, success be competing for my investments
But I can't take 'em with me when it's time for me to exit

[Hook]

[Hook:]
I won't stay here another night
If I gotta sacrifice
Who I am on the inside
I'd rather be an outsider
And you can stay if you'd like
I'll see you on the other side
I wanna live the free life
I'd rather be an outsider [x5]

[Verse 1 - Lecrae:]
Yeah
Outsiders
I really can't tell if I'm over-dressed or I'm under-dressed
If I'm under-paid, or just over-stressed
If I'm cynical, or just over this
Cause I'm tired of trying to get over them
Man its over then, parties over
You probably couldn't tell that we over here, because you hardly sober
Double shots in that ego
They laughing at us, yeah we know
Maybe at the bottom, but we not forgotten
The directors plotting that sequel
Till' then we live on the outside
And it might storm and we might die
But, I'd rather go where my fist high
Standing outside of your inside
I tried my best to fit in
Looking for a suit to fit in

Tired of taking losses, so they can call me a failure
I failed at being you, but I'm winning at being me
I'm winning at being free, ain't no competition but me
See I realize that I'm free
And I realize that I'm me
And I found out that I'm not alone, and theirs plenty of people like me
I said theirs plenty of people like me
All outsiders like me
All unashamed and all unafraid to live out what they supposed to be
Outsiders!

[Outro:]
You spend your time
So many lives
Turn on the lights
Open your eye
We'll be running through the night
Its brighter on the other side
Somethings bigger than You and I
Brighter on the other side [x5]

(feat. Crystal Nicole)

[Hook - Crystal Nicole:]
I'm giving it all away
No more hiding
No more stallin'
I hear you calling' me
And I'm coming
See me running
I give in (uh oh oh, uh oh oh)
You win (uh oh oh, uh oh oh)
I give in (uh oh oh, uh oh oh)
You win (uh oh oh, uh oh oh)

[Verse 1 - Lecrae:]
I try but I just can't keep this thing to myself
Look tire low, and I know ain't nobody else
But I'm focused now and I know it's all about you
You always see me through that what you do
Tell me
Tell me where would I go, where would I be?
Love is hard to find but you blind and loosing your way
And now ain't nobody else for me, it's just you
You got my time, all the time, anytime, my mind's on you

[Hook - Crystal Nicole]

[Verse 2 - Lecrae:]
They laugh at me and say I'm going too far
But it's satisfying my soul to give you my all
They don't understand what I got it's so real
They can talk about me, they can kick me out, but can't take away what you give
People telling me that I'm probably too far gone
But they don't understand where I been and they walk the roads that I've walked on
Tell me who I'm gon call on
Whose solid ground can I fall on
You everything that I never dreamed you'd give to me and its all on you
You know you got me deep off in this thing I'm all in
I swear ain't no love like this love that I've been given
I can't resist it's just too much your love is endless
And I don't care what they say no more no way I give in you

[Bridge - Crystal Nicole:]
It's time to cut the cord
Sever the ties from the life before
From here on out I'm yours
I can't run no more
Cause you're pulling me in
Like a tornado wind
And I can't pretend
I try leaving
But your love so strong
And it won't let go
You're holding on to me

[Hook - Crystal Nicole]

[Hook:]
I won't stay here another night
If I gotta sacrifice
Who I am on the inside
I'd rather be an outsider
And you can stay if you'd like
I'll see you on the other side
I wanna live the free life
I'd rather be an outsider [x5]

[Verse 1 - Lecrae:]
Yeah
Outsiders
I really can't tell if I'm over-dressed or I'm under-dressed
If I'm under-paid, or just over-stressed
If I'm cynical, or just over this
Cause I'm tired of trying to get over them
Man its over then, parties over
You probably couldn't tell that we over here, because you hardly sober
Double shots in that ego
They laughing at us, yeah we know
Maybe at the bottom, but we not forgotten
The directors plotting that sequel
Till' then we live on the outside
And it might storm and we might die
But, I'd rather go where my fist high
Standing outside of your inside
I tried my best to fit in
Looking for a suit to fit in
Standing outside of your prison
Trying to find ways I could get in
Now I realize that I'm free
And I realize that I'm me
And I found out that I'm not alone cause' theirs plenty people like me
That's right theirs plenty people like me
All love me, despite me
And all unashamed and all unafraid to speak out for what we might see
I said theirs plenty people like me
All outsiders like me
And all unashamed and all unafraid to live out what they supposed to be

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - Lecrae:]
Uh
I know what they asking for, I know what they asking for
But, how you gonna come and charge me, my life is sold, and then turn around and ask for more
Time to go, plus the line is long
I'ma color the outside, but lines a drone
If you wanna exclude me, for being the true me
It's Gucci, I already found my home
Homesick
Homeless, if I'm on this
Cause' my home is somewhere I ain't never been before
I'ma own this here gift, even if it doesn't fit in the box that'll bleed these folks
Some of ya'll don't need these quotes
I ain't tryna' eat, I'm tryna' feed these folks
Martin Man Delegate, we need these folks
We believe these folks
We can be these folks
Yeah
But, they want me to take an L
Tired of taking losses, so they can call me a failure
I failed at being you, but I'm winning at being me
I'm winning at being free, ain't no competition but me
See I realize that I'm free
And I realize that I'm me
And I found out that I'm not alone, and theirs plenty of people like me
I said theirs plenty of people like me
All outsiders like me
All unashamed and all unafraid to live out what they supposed to be
Outsiders!

[Outro:]
You spend your time
So many lives
Turn on the lights
Open your eye
We'll be running through the night
Its brighter on the other side
Somethings bigger than You and I
Brighter on the other side [x5]

(feat. Kari Jobe)

[Verse 1 - Lecrae:]
I'm just a broken instrument in the hands of the Greatest
So if the notes are off it's ‘cause I ain't nothin' to play with
And you can fault me, but ain't we all off key
Majorin' in the minors like there ain't no errors behind us
Somehow we still mix these melodies with my felonies
I ain't buyin' nothin' they sellin' me what you tellin' me
Broken pieces actin' like we ain't cracked
But we all messed up and cain't no one escape that
We some broken people
Came from broken homes
Broken hearts inside of a broken soul
Alcoholics, the addicts
English, African, Arabs
Ain't no riches to fix it
You still broke when you have it
If you ain't breakin' bad and you still chasin' the habit
It ain't no wonderland so we still chasing the rabbit
Ain't a soul on the planet
That's better than another
And we all need grace in the face of each other

[Hook - Kari Jobe:]
All the pieces on the ground
I shattered all the dreams
I thought I found
And you put me back together
I need your grace for my flaws
God I'm broken in this mess I've made
I need you to restore me

[Verse 2 - Lecrae:]
From Heaven we all small
Can't nobody buy tickets
You better have will call
That reaper he will call
They hurt just like me
Work just like me
Lust of the flesh that brought em life
They flirt just like me
Regardless of our money we all broke together
And if we don't swallow our bride we gon choke together
Tryna hold onto our lives with these clumsy hands
Fell off the wall of purity
Doing that Humpty dance
Forget the king's horses
Forget the king's men
The King is coming to put us back together again
I've been fighting since my daddy left
Fighting for approval
Think I don't know tryna get this world to love me is futile
We [?] being less
Than what we were made to be like being what they suggest
We are outsiders, outliers, out-criers loud and meek
Inherit the earth, [?]

[Hook - Kari Jobe]

[Bridge - Kari Jobe:]
Your presence in me
Is all the strength that I need
Your presence in me
Is all the strength that I need
And I'll always be home
And I'll always be home

[Hook - Kari Jobe]

You never left me
You never ran off
You never gave up
[x3]

Calling all the messengers
Calling all the messengers (Can you hear it?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey

We've been given a call
Been forgiven, risen, we livin' to give him our all
Rise up from your past it's holding you down
This moment is all that matters the future is now
How will the people know if we don't tell 'em if we fail 'em
They stumblin' in the dark but the light is what we carry
Yea, don't have to wonder your purpose or what you here for
Reflect his image and show the world what he cares for

And I know it's alright
And you know it's your life
And we know that time's running out
Can't wait around cause
The time is now

Calling all the messengers
Calling all the messengers (Can you hear it?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey

I've been a lot of places where the scene ain't pretty
I've seen plenty of hatred death and destruction where ignorance kills many
The blind leading the blind we turning a blind eye
That alone is a crime we got the power of life
I know that we make mistakes don't let 'em keep you away
Mercy love and His grace is the reason we move ahead
Speak out though we never been qualified to do it
I ain't earned it, I was loved into it I'm brand new, yea

And I know it's alright
And you know it's your life
And we know that time's running out
Can't wait around cause
The time is now

Calling all the messengers
Calling all the messengers (Can you hear it?)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey
