Lyrics
School day's over and now I'm walking home
School day's over, and the narrator is heading home.
It's just another day passed when I felt so alone
Reflecting on another day of loneliness.
And I got so many friends but still I'm unknown
Despite having many friends, the narrator feels unknown.
And I'm feeling kinda sad so I pick up my phone
Feeling sad, the narrator decides to call someone.
School day's over and now I'm walking home
Reiteration of school day ending and the journey home.
It's just another day passed when I felt so alone
Repeating the feeling of loneliness experienced during the day.
And I got so many friends but still I'm unknown
Despite having friends, the narrator still feels unknown.
And I'm feeling kinda sad
Continuation of the narrator's sad feelings.
Feeling kinda sad
Emphasis on the lingering feeling of sadness.
Now I'm home, my mom asking me how was your day
The narrator is home, and their mom inquires about their day.
I don't know what to say, she won't understand me anyway
Expressing difficulty in explaining their day to their mom.
How can I start to understand what's going on in my brain
The struggle to understand one's own thoughts and emotions.
Now I wonder what it'd be like if I just went away
Contemplating what life would be like if the narrator disappeared.
Now I'm walking downtown, now I'm walking downtown
Transitioning to walking downtown, seeking happiness.
Wondering what can make me happy, I've been searching all around
The narrator is on a quest to find joy in various places.
So that's why I started rapping, cuz my pain would go down
Turning to rapping as an outlet for pain.
And I had enough strength to get off the dang ground
Overcoming challenges and rising above difficulties.
School day's over and still not much has changed
Despite school ending, little has changed for the narrator.
I'm still the same kid living in this world of pain
The narrator remains a struggling individual in a painful world.
And I met a man Christ, but what did it do
Mentioning encountering Christ but questioning its impact.
Because the same pain follows me, and hasn't subdued
Persistent pain despite seeking spiritual solace.
They said that He is the Truth, the Only Way and the Path
Reference to Christ as the Truth, the Only Way, and the Path.
But sometimes I pray to Him, and He does not answer back
Expressing frustration with unanswered prayers to Christ.
They call me a catholic rapper, but that is a joke
Describing skepticism about being labeled a Catholic rapper.
Because my faith in Him is down to a sliver of hope
Dwindling faith in Christ, reduced to a sliver of hope.
School day's over and I'm done with the drama
School day is over, and the narrator wants to leave the drama behind.
At school they think I'm nobody, but secretly I'm Mandala
Revealing a secret identity as Mandala, a rapper with ambitions.
The greatest rapper, bout to drop the hottest track of the summer
Asserting oneself as the greatest rapper, hinting at future success.
So don't be surprised if you see me on a Rolling Stove cover
A playful prediction of being featured on a magazine cover.
You probably think that since I'm older all those dreams have faded
Rejecting the notion that dreams diminish with age.
That's insane, if anything they've only inflated
Contradicting the idea that dreams have faded; they have grown.
I'm chasing the dream, it's so close I can taste
Pursuing the dream with determination and feeling its proximity.
My faith is increasing, I can feel His graces
Expressing an increase in faith and sensing divine blessings.
