Square

No wonder you don't fit in (x2)

[Verse 1]:
I couldn't watch that movie; it was rated R
I never heard that song; it was gospel in the car
You had them baby J's and I was rockin sandals
You watching Rap City, man, they done blocked the channel
Everything around me had a Christian theme
Wearing uniforms to school, just one pair of jeans
Reading comics, playing Sonic while I'm wearing glasses
Back before the fashion frames made of plastic
Turtle power in my turtlenecks
Yeah
Hip hop music never heard of it
All that changed in that 6th grade life
Back when Puff Daddy was the first rapper that I liked
Now I'm rocking Nike Cortezes think I'm cool
But them high school years so cruel
Now I wanted ladies, yeah I wanted ladies
Told em told em I was born in the early 80s
But I lied about the year though, how they gon' hear though
Just came to public, public school 'bout a year ago
Here I go, I made it up, confession bro: I made it up
I gave em all these stories and they ate it up
But they ain't know who Taelor was... I ain't know who Taelor was
All of these relationships that I built was made of trust, knew I had to trade em up, and I knew who the Savior was
I just had to let Him see me, He saw I was made of dust

[Hook]:
I couldn't look you in the eye, cuz I got my head low
Thought I wasn't living, thought that I was missing out
So this for everybody tryna fit in...
No wonder you don't fit in (fit in)
Now I be singing
We ain't squares no more (4x)
If they see something different, you just tell 'em keep on watching 'cause they're the ones that's missing out

[Verse 2]:
Aye, so this started in Columbus, back in June '84
My daddy my momma had this little baby boy
And they said I didn't cry, wish I knew what I was thinking
Wish I knew what it was like for that second when it sink in
That I'm here...
I wish I knew that it was rare to have both parents
'Cause most my friends ain't seen a healthy marriage
But all these problems we create
Man, it's self inflicted damage, so it's like I can't relate
Look, I'm naturally skeptical and overthink my solutions
You ain't selling me no dreams, I know it seems like I'm proving you right
When you thinkin I'm self righteous in my music
And me, tryna explain just be sounding like some excuses for real
But I be feeling disrespected
Typecasted as sheltered, downplaying my perspective
Like I should apologize for every good thing I've gotten
Shallow end of regrets, cuz I ain't swimming in your drama
And I know, I know it's all grace
But people stay jealous like I throw it in they face
Like I just can't be glad that I ain't have to go through it
But still know that it's real, I take your stories and use it
For reference and teach others that they can be different
And tell 'em to be more than the next Blake Griffin
And he could be cool, but my point is identity
They say you ain't living life till you model the Kennedys
Violence and scandal like some kinda validation
Beef up our stories so that they impressed with our salvation
And this is for everyone ever called a square
Under pressure to use their testimonies to compare
Look, I'm right there - I'm right there with you
Let's be brave enough
'Cause pride is the issue
Let's just focus on the cross
We can't say it ain't enough, we won't say it ain't enough

Man, let's look to Jesus 'cause He gave it up;
Homie, look, He gave it up
They tried to take His life, man, they tried but He raised it up
And this is resurrection, there isn't a greater love
Let's walk in this freedom
It's freedom that He gave to us

I couldn't look you in the eye, cuz I got my head low
Thought I wasn't living, thought that I was missing out
So this for everybody tryna fit in...
No wonder you don't fit in (fit in)
Now I be singing
We ain't squares no more (x8)
If they see something different, you just tell 'em keep on watching 'cause they're the ones that's missing out
