(Verse 1):

My name is Oliver Queen, for 5 years I was stranded/
On an island, miles away from the Atlantic/
That's what I said when they asked my story/
But, there's more to my tale than that purgatory/
You see, when I returned, things were much different/
Hugged my family close, but felt so distant/
I couldn't shake my mind from the things I had witnessed/
Freedom that I had really felt like a prison/
My father shot himself so I'd keep livin'/
And gave me his book, in it, there were names writtin/
He told me to right the wrongs that he committed/
So, I wear a hood to hide the pain in my vision/
My night life was filled with guns and suits/
Crossing names off the list like things to do/
To finally cross arrows with the mastermind/
Who killed his son, my best friend at the time/


(Hook):

So, I said "Malcom Merlin-you have failed this city/"
Arrows at the heart, that point with no pity/
Your actions have harmed innocent ones really/
It's time for you to answer, justice is with me/
You can't escape that, no matter what/
In order to protect all of those whom I love
I am someone different, something different/
something different, someone different/


(Verse 2):

My name is oliver queen, for 5 years I had been through/
hard times, fighting every day to just live through/
Experiences, that you wouldn't believe
from meta-humans to government conspiracies
At the same time carrying a bow and hood
Strapped with arrows, the only things I understood/
So much that my aim was more accurate than bullets/
Bodies dropped at the bow string as I pulled it/
I met a soldier while I was on the island/
A strong man with a sword- betrayed by friends/
Even though our circumstances were ugly
Back then, me and him were like war buddies/
Unfortunately, Events led to my choice/
To end his life, no victory to rejoice/
But, he survived and in the present time/
I won the fight but I couldn't save my mother's life/


(Hook 2):

But, I said "Slade Wilson-you have failed this city/"
Arrows at the heart, that point with no pity/
Your actions have harmed innocent ones really/
It's time for you to answer, justice is with me/
You can't escape that, no matter what/
But, in order to protect all of those whom I love
I am someone different, something different/
something different, someone different/
