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,
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up.
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.
What've I done to you to make you feel this way bout me,
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up.
Story of your life kid, Never thought you;d make it out like I did,
They won't bring me down today, no they won't bring me down today.

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,
