Lyrics of Outlaw Overture by MGK
[Part I]
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Can’t Shut Me Up
I Put My Faith In A Loaded Gun
They Tried To Cut Me Down
I Was Raised In A Dying Town, Yeah
I Miss My Drugs (Drugs)
They Been My Friends Since Twenty-one
Still, I’m Burning Out (Out)
You’ll Probably Die Before I Make You Proud, Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
All The Pages Are Blank ’til My Life Goes To Shit
I Know I Do That On Purpose Just To Write Again
[Chorus]
Paint My Complex (Paint It Black)
Burn My Last Check (Yeah, Burn It All)
Lose All Contact (’til I’m Gone Again)
Fake My Own Death (Fuck It All)
Make Me Feel Like I’m Alive (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Run, Rebel, Run
Don’t Let ’em Turn You Into What They Want
I’m Bad To The Bone
Two Wheels And The Body’s Chrome, Yeah
My Speech Still Slurs
I Started Drinking After I Left Church
But I Still Can’t Sleep
This Medication Doesn’t Work On Me, No
[Chorus]
Paint My Complex (Paint It Black)
Burn My Last Check (Yeah, Burn It All)
Lose All Contact (’til I’m Gone Again)
Fake My Own Death (Fuck It All)
Make Me Feel Like I’m Alive (Oh)
Make Me Feel Like I’m Alive (Yeah, Yeah, Oh)
[Part II]
[Chorus]
Oh, Take Me Somewhere Cheap
Where The Living Is Easy (Uh)
Out Of All Their Reach
Set My Spirit Free
[Post-Chorus]
I Feel Confined By Societal Norms
I Was Born To Walk The Line
Survive Being Insecure
But It Led To My Decline (Uh-uh)
[Verse]
This Time, I Don’t Think I’ll Turn Back
This Time, I’ma Do Shit My Way
I’m Gone By The Time They Come Back
This Route Is A One Road Highway
Same Face With A Brand-new Wardrobe
My Old Clothes In Gasoline
Smoke Hand-rolled Cigs, I’m A Old Soul
I Feel Just Like James Dean
[Chorus]
Oh, Take Me Somewhere Cheap
Where The Living Is Easy
Out Of All Their Reach
Set My Spirit Free
[Bridge]
What’s Left Behind? What’s Left Behind?
Can’t Take It With Me
Nothing’s Left Behind, Nothing’s Left Behind
Can’t Take It With Me
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
