Black Sheep Songtext
von Jacob Lee

At 22 years old
They′re telling me I'll never make it on my own
That I should leave it all behind and let it go
Let the industry decide my tomorrow

But I can feel it and I know I′m getting close
I stand on stage with people singing words I wrote
I feel the music make its way throughout their bones
So if I give it all up now, I'll never know

You know that I can't be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won′t ever need your help
No, I′ll never need your help

At 23 years old
Took just under a year to prove them wrong
Now they decide they wanna listen to my songs
And take the credit for what I've already done


But everything I′ve done so far I've done alone
Now they′re left out, leaving missed calls on my phone
Tryna cut in line for tickets to my show
I guess I knew I had it in me all along

You know that I can't be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won′t ever need your help
No, I'll never need your help

(No, I'll never need your help)
I don′t know what to be, and I′ve known for a while now
(No, I'll never need your help)

I was told when I was 13
I could do things others couldn′t seem to believe 'til they met me
That′s when I'd retreat, to my dreams
Where I′d see things, others couldn't see
Through a beat, pen and poetry

Now I know I breathe for a reason
Now I know I write from the minds of the teacher
I used to watch the sheep as they wait for a leader
Now I guess they found out who I am


You know that I can't be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won′t ever need your help

You know that I can′t be anybody else
I feel better when I know myself
You keep telling me I need your help
I won't ever need your help
No, I′ll never need your help

No, I'll never need your help
