Lyrics

You go to school with your head held down

You attend school with a lowered sense of self-esteem

You try to fit in but they push your out

You attempt to belong, but others exclude you

Too many people put your face in the ground

Many people demean and humiliate you

You'll get them back you'll get them

You will seek revenge or justice

Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out

Even if it takes time, express your anger

And you feel like you're worthless

You feel a lack of value or importance

When you're breakin' down

During moments of breakdown and vulnerability

No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this

In solitude, there must be a better life than this

You wanna feel like you're livin'

You desire a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling


Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head

A voice in your mind urges you to wake up

Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said

Rise and express what you should have said earlier

I know they get to ya but you got a future

Others may affect you, but you have a promising future

Don't let 'em take you done

Do not allow them to defeat you

Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again

You will have a chance to live again

You think an attitude can make you cool

You believe adopting a certain demeanor makes you popular

Sick and tired of being everyone's fool

You are weary of being manipulated by others

You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain

You think resorting to violence will erase emotional wounds

But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt

Weigh the consequences before taking drastic actions

In one moment your life can change

Life can change unexpectedly in a single moment

It's easy now to live it down

It's easier now to overcome challenges

You say you feel like a number now

You feel dehumanized, like a mere statistic

But you're more than a number

You are more than just a number


You can waste your time try to

Don't waste time blaming others; find a positive outlet

Find someone to blame and let it out

Seeking someone to blame won't solve your problems

But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine

All you need to hear is that everything will be fine
