Just a Kid

Sat in detention 'casue you're always late

Can't pay attention

"Casue there's a lot on your plate

You're misunderstood, so the teachers quit

Oh, what you gonna do when you're just a kid?

Well, they don't know 'bout your story

Your life has only began

No, they don't know 'bout your story

Don't let them say how it ends

They took away your cousins

And your daddy too

You can't get a job, and the rent's overdue

Your mother got a lawyer

That she just can't afford

You think you're grown, but you're still a boy

Well, they don't know 'bout your story

Your life has only began

No, they don't know 'bout your story

Don't let them say how it ends

One day, you're growing

And one day, they'll know

Just how hard it was to say no

To a life under streetlights

Running from street fights

It's hard to leave your friends on the roads

One day, you're growing

And one day, they'll know

Just how hard it was to say no

To a life under streetlights

Running from street fights

It's hard to leave your friends on the roads

No, they don't know 'bout your story

Your life has only began

No, they don't know 'bout your story

Don't spend your life in the ends

Yo what's up Ray? I hope you're

Amazing sis I'm sending so much love

It's Dynamite

I just want to take a second to reach out

To all the young people out there

You know, Far and wide

Life can be so challenging

You know, but whatever it may be

Throwing your way right now

I would love to remind you of your strength

To remind you of how far you've come

To remind you to check your own history

Check all the things you've overcome thus far

For those of you that are suffering

Or struggling, you know

Please don't suffer in silence

Find someone to support you

You know, there's so much pressure

So much pressure out there but you know what

It's a new day, it's a new day and the thing is

You are the new day

You are the new day

You are the gift
