Lyrics
I never fit in I was a outcast
I always felt like an outsider
In grade school out blasting my Outkast
In school, I listened to Outkast, stood out
And I'll pass on running to catch a route pass
Not interested in conventional success (sports)
Gimme a pen and a pad I'm tryna outlast
Using writing (pen and pad) to endure and succeed
All of my idols
Respected figures, role models
American and the foreign-ers
A mix of American and foreign influences
Before the foreign cars & the boring bars
Before materialism and uninspiring bars
Money money money sex drugs and the coroners
Critiquing the focus on money, sex, drugs, and death
All this killin' but where the bodies at
Questioning the impact of violence without visible consequences
All this money where the Bugattis at
Observing wealth without positive manifestations
But dig a lil deeper
Encouraging a deeper examination of individuals
And you'll find another insecure man sittin' in a 2 seater
Revealing insecurities in successful-looking men
The same little boy that got beat up
Referring to his younger self being bullied
Plenty pains in his past you could bring up
Past hardships that can be brought up
Nobody ever told him he could be more than he is
Lamenting the lack of encouragement to aspire higher
But inside he's a leader
Despite external challenges, he possesses leadership qualities
I didn't know who was inside me either
Discovering his own potential
Striving to be a captain
Striving for a leadership role
Hopin' I could date a cheerleader
Desiring a popular and attractive partner
Tryna get me a throne of my own so I could put my feet up
Aspiring to establish his own kingdom of comfort
Thank God my kingdom was overthrown by the soul redeemer
Grateful for a spiritual intervention that redirected his path
Yeah
Reflection on his situation
Anomaly
Title of the song
Deviation from the common rule
Definition of an anomaly
Something or
Someone or something abnormal
Somebody that's abnormal
Reiteration of being different
That doesn't fit in
Embracing the uniqueness
I say that's exactly what we are
Affirmation of being outsiders
We are the odd
Defining themselves as unconventional
The outcasts
Identifying as outcasts
The peculiar
Embracing peculiarity
The strangers
Acknowledging their status as strangers
And they say
Contrasting societal expectations
We don't fit in
Highlighting societal rejection
But I say we are exactly
Asserting their alignment with their true selves
Who God created us to be
Affirmation of being created by God
Anomalies
Reiterating their anomaly status
The system didn't plan for this
Challenging the conformity of the system
