| Man I always thought that it was odd how people looked
|
| At my face like they was reading a book
|
| And my momma say I’m black and I’m beautiful
|
| Why’s my face at the end of a balled up cuticle
|
| Of a kid named Tommy Ainsworth
|
| Said «You felt pain, but I’ma show you pain hurts»
|
| Hit me with the chairs that we put up on top of the desk
|
| At the end of the day, I just ran away
|
| And told my sister, she kissed me on my forehead
|
| Said «Wait 'til tomorrow, there’ll be three or four dead
|
| This knife you can borrow, slip it in your Pro-Keds»
|
| She told me not to worry and say your prayers before bead
|
| And it read that now I’ll lay me down to sleep
|
| I pray the Lord give me back my missing teeth
|
| If I should die before I wake
|
| I pray that lil' Tommy boy meet the same fate
|
| Cause I didn’t need that
|
| In my life, I’m too young
|
| Didn’t need woes
|
| And he didn’t even mean that
|
| Probably ain’t right in his home
|
| Didn’t need woes
|
| Well
|
| Hit me until I bleed
|
| You gon' kick me until I bleed?
|
| This for all you never loved, look what you’ve done to me
|
| Look what you’ve done to me
|
| Look what you’ve done to me
|
| Well I always thought that it was good
|
| To be a black kid from a white neighborhood
|
| Here the niggers come, white flight
|
| Niggas like black Mike
|
| Made it hard for niggas like me that act right
|
| But white folk show me that I don’t fit in
|
| They was niggas too
|
| Right in my face they would spit in
|
| No K-den and Barbie, no clean house to live in
|
| Christopher, I’m sorry
|
| Same shit ag-den
|
| In come step-daddy
|
| Straight up out the p-den
|
| He beat me like a grown man
|
| I was only t-den
|
| He kissed me in my mouth
|
| This how we was livin'
|
| Neighbors really loved me
|
| So in they house I went in
|
| My head spinnin' from what happened way back then
|
| It’s like a movie but nobody was actin'
|
| I wish that they would shoot me so I could go to Heaven
|
| I wanted to die before I turned eleven
|
| Look me in my eye and you could see I
|
| Didn’t need woes
|
| It’s still hard not to cry and I
|
| Didn’t need woes
|
| Well
|
| Hit me until I bleed
|
| You gon' kick me until I bleed?
|
| This for all you never loved, look what you’ve done to me
|
| Look what you’ve done to me
|
| Look what you’ve done to me
|
| Can you fix, crazy?
|
| You made me like this, made me
|
| I’ll be like this for forever and a day
|
| Call the doctor or just stay like this
|
| Look I’m a star now
|
| Till I bleed
|
| Wanna hit me until I bleed?
|
| You gon' kick me until I bleed?
|
| This for all you never loved, look what you’ve done to me
|
| What you’ve done to me
|
| Look what you’ve done to me
|
| I’m a star now
|
| Can I kick it? |
| (No you can’t)
|
| Can I kick it? |
| (No you can’t)
|
| Well I won’t (Don't) |
