I could hear abuse in the kitchen When I was a kid I used to listen To my father fight my brothers He would say I'm just like my mother He'd say that he hates me I was just a kid Pray to God he would take me He never did And it took some time to get better Can't be this fucked up forever But that's some shit I can't forgive 'Cause I was just a kid, just a kid Said I ain't never gon' be like him Made me remember the violence Evеryone I see that look like him Make me wanna fight him Fuck, I'm just like him And it took some time to get better Can't be this fucked up forever But that's some shit I can't forgive 'Cause I was just a kid Hope you see the mark you've made Put violence in my DNA And that's some shit I can't forgive 'Cause I was just a kid And in case you ever come 'round here Don't be surprised if I've disappeared I could've been a happy kid And in case you ever come 'round here No "sorry" gives me back the years I should've been a happy kid I should've been a happy kid I should've been a happy kid I should've been a happy kid And it took some time to get better Can't be this fucked up forever I'm still a kid Took some time to get better Can't be this fucked up forever I'm still a kid
