Description
OutsidersJust a rat pack
That don’t cut slack
Just a few panthers all in a stack
Hand on shoulder
Like a boulder
Just to make the other feel colder
Against the wall
We look so tall
But you know inside we feel so small
Tough and confused
Feeling so used
Can’t even help a friend that’s abused
Beaten notions
Dead emotions
We quiver at the shadow’s motions
Heroes or hoodlums
Socials or just bums
We’re just outsiders
East End or West End
To hurt or defend
We’re all outsiders
Watch the sunset
It’s your best bet
Still it can’t pay what we owe in debt
What can I do?
I love you too
We just need some time, just me and you
Acoustic love
Not from above
I know your heart looks like a dove
Deadly switchblade
There he just laid
That strong memory will never fade
Not so much light
And yet we fight
Why does it have to be done at night?
Ode to our friend
Just stay golden
I must hear that song over again
Cover my wounds
It’s over soon
My blanket tonight will be the moon
I’m not crazy
Just quite dazy
My memory is still so hazy
Insanity
Is gripping me
And it never seems to let me be
Senseless stealings
Failed at healings
And through it all these swallowed feelings

Is this like a rap because this is really cool. Has a nice and catchy rhythm and beat to it.

It's not a rap. There's practically no alliteration, assonance, or consonance. What is there was coincidental. But if you want to turn it into a song, feel free.

Thx for leaving a comment and not just faving and running away (like most do.)
If you ever want to turn it into a song, I'd love to listen.
Personally, I lack musical talent past writing lyrics.
