| Story of your life kid,
|
| Never thought you’d make it out alive like I did,
|
| Believe me it wasn’t easy growing up see,
|
| She had some problems with her body throwing up she,
|
| Was always picked in beating till she bruised up,
|
| Tried to escape over eating to confused stuff,
|
| She was respectable, he wasn’t really feeling it,
|
| But went along with him in hope of concealing it,
|
| To fit in she lived a life of pretending,
|
| You don’t ever live a lie just to blend in,
|
| Cause there’s a thousand them but only one of you,
|
| So make way step aside cause she’s coming through,
|
| Beautiful lady, eyes like an autumn sky,
|
| And when them haters hate just keep walking by,
|
| And they’ll nag ye and slag ye still but,
|
| You’ll amount to more in life than they ever will.
|
| What’ve I done to you to make you feel this way bout me,
|

|
| He tried his best to fit in,
|
| But wasn’t given two minutes cause the colour of his skin,
|
| Yeah he was different from everybody else,
|
| Unique in his own way he stayed true to himself,
|
| They’d name call from a distance,
|
| The only time they’d ever truely acknowledge his real existence,
|
| Was when they beat him and make him snap,
|
| Because of the fact this chaps skin tone was black,
|
| He’d take the long road home and clear tears in his eyes,
|
| To avoid their racist ways and their basic lies,
|
| Making noise, tryna make his life hell,
|
| Feeling down, wondering who he might tell,
|
| See his parents weren’t really there for him,
|
| So in his mind he’s convinced no one would care for him,
|
| And they’ll try keeping ye under the weather man,
|
| But stand up, stay strong and be the better man.
|
