Black Sheep

Verse 1

I was the black sheep sitting at the edge of the table,

Heard "you won't make it" every time I said I was able.

Hand-me-down coat, but I carried my pride,

Y'all made jokes while I was hurting inside.

When I needed a hand, everybody went quiet,

So I learned to build a life with nobody beside me.

Now my phone lights up and you're calling me fam—

Funny how you know my name when you need who I am.

Hook

I was the black sheep when we were kids,

You remember how you treated me? I did.

Now you need a ride, need a loan, need a way out—

Why you asking me for help now?

I ain't wishing you bad, I just need you to see

You don't get to act close when you abandoned me.

I was the black sheep when we were kids—

Why you asking me for help now?

Verse 2

I made peace with the past, but I still know the truth,

I spent years feeling small under that same roof.

You can say you've changed; maybe I have too.

I can hear you out, but trust takes proof.

I won't let an old wound decide everything I do,

And I won't call it love just because we share roots.

So tell me how I'm doing before you tell me what you need;

If you want me in your life, start by seeing me.

Hook

I was the black sheep when we were kids,

You remember how you treated me? I did.

Now you need a ride, need a loan, need a way out—

Why you asking me for help now?

I ain't wishing you bad, I just need you to see

You don't get to act close when you abandoned me.

I was the black sheep when we were kids—

Why you asking me for help now?

Outro

I might help, I might not—that choice is mine.

I've got love in my heart and a line I won't hide.

If you want a new start, say what happened back then.

Talk to me like family before you ask again.
