I’m an outkast
But don’t count me out
Underground dwellas, roamin’ beneath the cellas
Failed us with this system, ain’t livin’ how they tell us
Hideaway place, it’s safe, they raise a nation of hate
Erase a main for his faith
They feed us lies, dress up my King in false disguise
Behind those eyes, soul of a Savior I recognize
No compromise, while the whole world becomes corrupt
Tonight we break the surface for lives, we comin’ up
Brotha take my hand
Let’s separate ourselves
Leave behind this place
Don’t ever look back
Disgraced man, survivas of the wasteland,
Lookin’ for a home of his own
With no place to run, and no place to hide
Well it’s time for you to stand on your own
Militia, coalition, not of this world
Resistance, we the alliance
We freedom fightas, it’s honor we defend
We follow truth and never your trends
Brotha take my hand
Let’s separate ourselves
Leave behind this place
Don’t ever look back
I’m an outkast
But don’t count me out
Brace yourself like a man

Come out from them and be separate,
says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.

By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith.
