Black Sheep
Simai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They take you for a menace,
so they've labelled you like that.
Hated cuz you're different, enough alphas in the pack.
No matter where you go, they won't let you be alone.
This society it needs you, to be their black sheep

Running, but never running fast enough, never enough.
They take you for a menace,
so they've labelled you like that.
Hated cuz you're different, enough alphas in the pack.
You're not good enough, you're always being told.
You're holding all the good cards, but always forced to fold.

Running, but never running fast enough, never enough.

You are the black sheep, you're whats wrong,
always being chased cuz you don't belong,
so keep on running and running and running.

Running, but never running fast enough, never enough.





You are the black sheep, the motherfucking black sheep

Overall Meaning

Simai's song Black Sheep explores the theme of being an outcast or 'black sheep' in society. This is highlighted in the lines, "They take you for a menace, so they've labelled you like that," which speaks to how society can be quick to judge and categorize individuals who dare to be different. The song goes on to talk about how these individuals can be targeted and harassed for simply not fitting into the mold of what is considered "normal" or "acceptable" by society.


The lyrics "Running, but never running fast enough, never enough" speak to the relentless nature of the harassment or persecution that the 'black sheep' endures. They are constantly trying to escape the negativity but can never seem to shake it off entirely. The repetition of this line emphasizes the feelings of frustration and exhaustion that are often associated with being an outcast.


The closing lines, "You are the black sheep, the motherfucking black sheep," serve as an empowering declaration. Rather than accepting the negative labels that society has placed upon them, the character in the song embraces their identity as a black sheep. They refuse to conform to the expectations of others and instead choose to run with it.


Overall, Simai's Black Sheep celebrates the autonomy and individuality of those who are often ostracized by society. It encourages listeners to embrace their differences and to not let societal pressures dictate their worth.
