lyrics

[Hook]
I’m a misfit
Yeah I’m just a misfit
These are my misfit woes
I’m a misfit
Yeah I’m just a misfit
These are my misfit woes

[Verse 1]
Look, I’m living in a world where I don’t fit in nowhere
Suffocating, tryna breathe but I got no air
My entire sense of having an identity complexes me
Everywhere I go I don’t belong there
My long hair always twisted in knots
So when I scratch my head and ponder all my fingers get caught
Obviously I am black, that’s what the melanin say
But my wardrobe and knowledge make other blacks double take
Like “Is he really like us?” “I don’t know check again”
But then for everybody else I am their only black friend
And so I’m forced to be the voice for every single African
How can I speak out for a race that won’t even let me in?
Damn, dandelion seed floating in the sky
When I land, the wind kicks back up and once again I fly
I’m just tryna find a place where I can settle down and grow
But they start digging me up ‘fore my roots can even take ahold
These are my woes

[Hook]
I’m a misfit
Yeah I’m just a misfit
These are my misfit woes
I’m a misfit
Yeah I’m just a misfit
These are my misfit woes

[Verse 2]
It seem like everybody got something to say
Everyone sees something in me that they think needs to be changed
Ain’t it strange that it seems like I’m becoming less me
Because I got so many people telling me what to be
Or rather what not to be, but they don’t say what to do
So I don’t know who to please, man your boy’s so confused
All I know is I feel terrible, can’t stand the thought of failure
I didn’t realize that sadness in me was so damn apparent
Come on Clarence get a grip, this ain’t supposed to be you
I thought that you were living your life as a complacent dude
I’m in a vicious cycle, I’ve been steady spiraling, I’m dying
Of a longing to belong and have a calling
Damn, a dandelion seed floating in the sky
When I land, the wind kicks back up and once again I fly
I’m just tryna find a place where I can settle down and grow
But they start digging me up ‘fore my roots can even take ahold
These are my woes

[Hook]
I’m a misfit
Yeah I’m just a misfit
These are my misfit woes
I’m a misfit
Yeah I’m just a misfit
These are my misfit woes

[Verse 3]
A dandelion seed floating in the sky
When I land, the wind kicks back up and once again I fly
I’m just tryna find a place where I can settle down and grow
But they start digging me up ‘fore my roots can even take ahold
These are my woes
