Wake up, make up, hustle, grind, and repeat
Don't give up even if it sucks, there's no time for defeat
Former gifted kid, show some grit, you're not in school anymore
You can't quit, say you're not equipped, to walk out these doors.
Everybody's always telling me I should have big dreams
How do I tell them that I don't 'cause at night I can't sleep
Each night I am counting sheep, and all I can see is
One black sheep - that's me
At home, sitting all alone, glued to the screen
Airbrushed clones, successes overblown, picture-perfect scenes
Lie in bed, in over my head, beg the pills to do their job
With every breath, a feeling of dread, will it ever stop
Everybody's always telling me I should have big dreams
How do I tell them that I don't 'cause at night I can't sleep
Each night I am counting sheep, and all I can see is
One black sheep - that's me
Oh, I have realised this
Life's a race and I was confused
'Cause when they told me that I was gifted
None of the gifts was running shoes
Everybody's always telling me I should have big dreams
How do I tell them that I don't even when I do sleep
Each night the fence is jumped by sheep, the one left behind is
A black sheep - that's me
