Another Brick In The Wall


The struggle is real

Kids sit around popping pills

Parents are fighting

Little ones are crying

Babies are having babies

We're running low on ladies

Worlds full of drive bys

Too scared to go outside

But we go anyways

We're living day by day

There's violence in our schools

Every bodys acting like fools

We're suffering beatings

We're barely eating

To many of us trying to fit in

We're dressing so bad its a sin

Girls stomachs always out

Always with a dude no doubt

If we could get past all the lies

And give life a try

Maybe one day we could all see 

This isn't what lifes supposed to be.
