Renegade
Kevin “K.O.” Olusola Lyrics

I pack my bags, and I'm leaving today.
I am leaving and moving forward with my life, ready to explore and take on new challenges.

I hit the road, and make my getaway.
I am leaving this place and everything it represents behind, and starting a new journey on the road.

Cause they'll control you.
The people and systems around you will try to control you, and make you conform to their norms and expectations.

They'll put you up on the shelf.
They will try to marginalize you and make you feel irrelevant, unworthy, or insignificant.

You gotta break away, so you can be yourself.
You need to break free from their grip, so you can rediscover, embrace, and express your true self and identity.

So now I'm running, I got the nigh ton my side.
I am running away with the night as my ally, using its power and cover to enable my escape and resistance.

It's revolution, and I'm along for the ride.
This is a revolution of the mind, the heart, and the soul, and I am part of it, fighting for my rights and my dreams.

And I spell 'trouble' with a capital 'T'.
I am not afraid of trouble, and I am ready to face it head-on, armed with my skills and my convictions.

I don't go looking for trouble, it just keeps following me.
I don't seek out trouble, but it seems to be attracted to me, probably because of my non-conformist attitude and my challenging stance.

When it's all been said and done.
When everything has been discussed, debated, and decided.

I am on the run.
I am still running and evading capture, refusing to surrender or compromise.

Running through the night.
Escaping the clutches of my foes, and seeking refuge in the darkness.

To the other side.
To a new land, a new life, and a new set of possibilities and challenges.

Like a renegade.
Like a rebel, a revolutionary, and a warrior who refuses to bow down, and who fights for freedom and justice.

They want to mess with me.
I am a nuisance, a threat, and a challenge to the status quo, and they want to stop me or co-opt me.

Cause I'm a problem in their philosophy.
I am a heretic, a misfit, and an outsider in their worldview, challenging their assumptions, norms, and values.

But if they want me, they better make it quick.
If they want to catch or kill me, they need to act fast, because I am always on the move, and will not let them catch me easily.

Cause when the night falls, I'm in my element.
The night is my domain, my haven, and my refuge, where I feel most alive, creative, and empowered.

I slip away baby, into the night.
I vanish, disappear, and leave no trace, blending into the shadows, and becoming invisible to my pursuers.

And in the darkness I begin to fight.
I use the night to launch sneak attacks, ambushes, and guerrilla tactics, catching my enemies off guard and weakening their defenses.

I fight for freedom, and it comes with a price.
I am not fighting for fun or profit, but for a noble cause, that of freedom, dignity, and justice for all, and I know that it can cost me my life.

Cause they controlled me once, but it won't happen twice.
I have been oppressed, suppressed, and manipulated before, but I have learned my lesson, and I will not let it happen again, no matter what.

Like a renegade.
Like a badass, a maverick, and a hero who defies the odds, and whose legacy will inspire others to follow their dreams and make a difference.
