A portal flickers into existence, presenting to the boy who would become the Black Sheep, one option.
Upon entry, our protagonist is cursed with clairvoyance. Showered by the thoughts, and desires of the ones he'd love.

lyrics
The sheep
Tinged copper, n mahogany,
Gods tone
A political problem
Your outsider,
Fireorfly, or firefighter
Your greatest ally or or worst enemy
N everything n between
Sacrificed at your knees,
It's gotta be the sheep, the sheep, the sheep, the sheep,
Down bad n sober now
Ionno if u fwm
All my friends don’t even know me now
Who am I sposed to trust, in?
I let my emotions out
I’m the only one that knows myself
I just hope you still fwm
Nitrogen in my veins, swear to god u sounded strange, hidden grievances,
Flowers in coral, reefs,
I seeded this.
Outsider me felt so alone
You ain’t really mean
For that
Like lighting up my spot for electricity
Tryna start a spark
Outta something they'd never give to me
I’d never hold you
Imma love these moments I'm supposed to,
Maybe then you’ll be prouda me
Prouda me
But god bless them fuckers that be doubting me
Look,
I keep my head low n my circle closed
They crowdin me
Down bad n sober now
I know ya not fuckin wit me
All my friends wont even hold me down
Ionno know if I could trust in any, one.
I left my emotions out,
I’m the only one that knows myself,
I just hope u still
I hope that u still
Proud a me
Proud a me
But god bless the fuckers that be doubtin me
I keep my Head low n my circle closed they crowdin me
