Mama, I had a bad day
I don't really like school
I can't fit in well
They say I'm not cool
Mama, I'm getting bullied
They're calling me names
I'm always a laughing stock
I feel so ashamed
Mama, I don't have any friends
Like the whole world is against me
Everyone's so mean
Why can't they let me be?
Mama, I'm sick of all these
Too much pain and anger
The world is my enemy
Not a friend, not a stranger
Mama, I finally did it
That bully had it coming
He took a chair to his head
And I sent that coward running
Mama, now I feel respected
Regardless through admiration or fear
I've learnt that the weak can't leave
So I did anything for the power
Mama, power got me new friends
And now life is fun
In fact we're like brothers
And I'm the big one
Mama, times have passed and I've changed
There's no way I can hide
My brothers took me to new places
And I fell in love with the dark side
Mama, my brothers were involved in a fight
And they needed me
And though I wasn't harmed
My brother got slashed on his knee
Mama, I heard it was supposed to be me
But I'm more to angry than I am scared
They did it to my brother
We just have to fight back
Mama, I did it for my brother
Smashed a bottle on his cheek
'Cause unlike the 'cool' kids
I don't leave my friends who are weak
Mama, I think I went too far
I'm starting to fear me
I'm only 13
What am I turning out to be?
Mama, I learnt a little too much
Stealing and doing drugs
Mama, please take me into your arms
I want to grow up once again
Mama, I hope you understand
My life story I'm trying to tell
It's hard to be an angel
When I'm living in hell
Mama, there is nothing wrong
With the way you raised me
Though I'm still your son that loves you
I'm a product of the society
