I'm 'bout to tell you a story that'll make you sick
How teachers beat your kids and get away with it
So listen close and you'll be mad no doubt
If you imagine this your kid we talkin' about
Say your kid ain't stupid but they call'm special
No one understands all the pains you wrestle
Your forced to place'm in schools that'll take'm
And only agree just to ease frustrations
Then he come home sayin', "I've been beat!"
But you think, "He just wants attention from me"
So he stops and it's labeled a cry
But he only stopped 'cause you called'm a liar
I was 9 sayin', "I can't breathe!" like George
Knee in my spine, face down on a floor
Cheek in my own snot, eyes tear red
Scared 'cuz I saw another kid lyin' there dead
I'm like oh, I'm thinkin'
Can't nobody hurt me like you did
You took until I had nothing to give
You think you ain't a monster, but you is
Still been since
All my problems stem from what you did
My sanity, my struggles, and my sins
You made me a monster like you is
I can't forget
Lawyers told me I can still sue, still get millions
They settle out of court not to look like villains
But it's not about money, it's about the children
Who screwed up like me 'cuz the pain ain't healin'
They can still beat your kids in 19 states
And in private schools, it's 48
You'd lose your kid just givin' a spank
Yet strangers can beat'm? How is this okay?
I mean fully grown adults making minimum an hour
And take it out on kids to get a little bit of power
They havin' a bad day and I'm in the path
Knowin' they could hurt me, they would push me to snap
I mean, how could just talkin' get treated like crime
Where I'm on the floor in pain 'til I'm cryin'?
How are these people still walking around free?
And only one's treated like criminals... were kids like me?
How teachers beat your kids and get away with it
So listen close and you'll be mad no doubt
If you imagine this your kid we talkin' about
Say your kid ain't stupid but they call'm special
No one understands all the pains you wrestle
Your forced to place'm in schools that'll take'm
And only agree just to ease frustrations
Then he come home sayin', "I've been beat!"
But you think, "He just wants attention from me"
So he stops and it's labeled a cry
But he only stopped 'cause you called'm a liar
I was 9 sayin', "I can't breathe!" like George
Knee in my spine, face down on a floor
Cheek in my own snot, eyes tear red
Scared 'cuz I saw another kid lyin' there dead
I'm like oh, I'm thinkin'
Can't nobody hurt me like you did
You took until I had nothing to give
You think you ain't a monster, but you is
Still been since
All my problems stem from what you did
My sanity, my struggles, and my sins
You made me a monster like you is
I can't forget
Lawyers told me I can still sue, still get millions
They settle out of court not to look like villains
But it's not about money, it's about the children
Who screwed up like me 'cuz the pain ain't healin'
They can still beat your kids in 19 states
And in private schools, it's 48
You'd lose your kid just givin' a spank
Yet strangers can beat'm? How is this okay?
I mean fully grown adults making minimum an hour
And take it out on kids to get a little bit of power
They havin' a bad day and I'm in the path
Knowin' they could hurt me, they would push me to snap
I mean, how could just talkin' get treated like crime
Where I'm on the floor in pain 'til I'm cryin'?
How are these people still walking around free?
And only one's treated like criminals... were kids like me?
