Thrown Words, Silent Fails

Backpack heavy, hallway loud I keep my head

down, moving through the crowd

Let me tell you what happened at school Teacher talks sharp,

like I’m nobody’s fool If I toss one thing,

she yells my name I’m trying to stay calm,

but it feels like a game

Still I’m getting F’s and D’s Trying to bring it up,

but they don’t see me

Every time I reach to speak They cut me off,

and my chest feels weak (ahhhh)

They yell at me-ee-ee

And I’m trying, trying,

trying to breathe

They yell at me-ee-ee

I wanna do better,

just let me be (oh-oh)

I’m not a problem,

I’m a kid I’m doing my best with what I’ve got

So when you raise your voice like that It makes me forget

what I was taught (hummmm)

They yell at me-ee-ee And I’m trying,

trying, trying to breathe They yell at me-ee-ee I wanna do better,

just let me be (yeah)
