[Verse 1] Knew I was different at dinner Eyes on the plate, on me, on the past "Why you talk back? Why you so bitter?" I just laugh, let the questions stack Hand-me-down blame in a plastic bag Same old stories, same old drag "Why you can't act like your sister, huh?" 'Cause I'm the storm they tried to tuck Black sheep, black hoodie at the wedding Side of the church, back row, no blessing They want quiet, I bring confessions Turn every scar into a weapon [Chorus] I'm the black sheep in the family photo Cut from the frame, but I still go solo They don't say my name, but they watch my promo Turn all that shame to a glow-up logo Yeah, black sheep, but I move like a leader They write me off, I just write it in deeper You can keep your seat at the table, keep it I build my own, make the whole room believe it (believe it) [Verse 2] Phone only ring when they need that favor Never "you good?", just a new lifesaver Sink or swim, guess I chose that flavor Now I walk on waves, can’t taste their anger Cousins all clean in the family chat House, new car, lil' dog, all that I'm in a one-room spot with the paint all cracked But the mind so sharp, cut the whole map They said "you too loud, you too raw" I said "you too scared, you too small" I'd rather die on a hill that I built myself Than live one day as somebody else [Chorus] I'm the black sheep in the family photo Cut from the frame, but I still go solo They don't say my name, but they watch my promo Turn all that shame to a glow-up logo Yeah, black sheep, but I move like a leader They write me off, I just write it in deeper You can keep your seat at the table, keep it I build my own, make the whole room believe it (yeah) [Bridge] Toast to the kids that they call mistake Made from the fire that the rest can't take We don't fit in, we flip the script Turn every side-eye to a crown we lift [Chorus] I'm the black sheep in the family photo Cut from the frame, but I still go solo They don't say my name, but they watch my promo Turn all that shame to a glow-up logo Yeah, black sheep, but I move like a leader They write me off, I just write it in deeper You can keep your seat at the table, keep it I build my own, make the whole room believe it (black sheep)

rap, Hard-hitting East Coast hip-hop: grimy boom-bap drums, thick bassline, chopped minor-key piano loop. Male vocals with a gritty, focused delivery. Verses stay tight and punchy; hook explodes with stacked gang shouts and quick delay throws. Occasional filtered drops before the chorus for impact, subtle vinyl crackle for texture., hip hop
