Verse 1: a boy who is bulliedCouplet 1 : un garçon harcelé

1Apparently you parents really need to listen in 2Maybe you should give your kid a little discipline 3Instead of lettin’ him act so inconsiderate 4You say you’re not the problem, the school system is 5Well picture this, ya as sick as it is 6There’s a whole lot of kids who do not wanna live 7Searchin‘ up and down the halls for a Ritalin fix 8Not knowin’ how upset the Vice Principal gets 9When he gets another call from another troubled mom 10Cryin’ on the phone sayin’ that her son sobs 11Askin’ himself what he did to deserve this 12Just because he looks a little different on the surface 13Maybe it’s the way he acts or the crazy fact 14That his dad passed away last May from a heart attack 15He already feels alone and confused 16And to top it off he goes to school and gets abused.

1I hope you take the words that I wrote in this song 2And use them as the strength that you hold in your palm 3When you see a fellow class mate treated in a bad way 4Stand up for em’ and support em’ like a back brace 5No sad face opposite emoticon 6I know it’s tough but you gota’ keep holdin’ on 7You feel like you wanna burst like a soda pop 8He wasn’t raised right, he doesn’t know to stop 9Part of growin’ up is treatin’ folks with respect 10It’s not a talent to speak with a vile dialect 11I’m not sayin’ I’m perfect, there’s things I regret 12But I can do good with all the time I have left 13I speak the truth and I believe in you 14If you’re not willin’ to change, get up and leave the room 15I gave you a chance take your evil demons too 16But as you walk away this is what we say to you
ChorusI am smarter I am stronger! I will take it no longer!
