*Door opens*

Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Let me fly away with you
{Verse 1}
We fly across the sea to a better destination
Give your brothers and sisters a better education
But you come over here and you do something else
Why? Hurry up open your mouth
You wanna be a street kid? Huh? (No)
Then why you fight? Why you not listen to the teachers?
Why you not come to church to help sing his praise
Only bring disgrace make me shame to show my face
That's why I hit you, its the only way you listen
And don't you ever think I'm scared to go to prison
Who you think gonna love you?
When we die tomorrow do you think another family gonna want you?
No 'cause you useless
You only good at excuses and listening to that stupid music
We send you to school, become a doctor or a lawyer
Instead the principal call pick you up from the foyer
I told you only make a friends with the white kids
The kids from the islands is only make the violence
And they join with the gangs
Look at Julie and Sonny
Julie is work in the office and Sonny is play the rugby
And look at you nothing
(But that's not me) just waste the money
Mum is say take you to go stay with your aunty in Samoa
No gang, no TV, no computer (oh nah)
And you see what they do to a loser
If I know you gonna grow up to be a dumb kids
When you a baby I throw you in the rubbish
I wish somebody is come and take you
But it's not happen 'cause everybody hate you
(No they don't)
They say oh look at that street kids answer back to his parents
Ohhhh they must be embarrass
So its better you go live on the street
And go in the toilet to find you something to eat
'Cause you waste of time
I tell you read the bible but you never change your mind
Argh I can't wait to die
This is the work of the devil
Please Jesus put a curse on this rebel so this hurt can settle
We raise you be a good boy I don't know what's happen
And tell your friend if I catch him I'm gonna smash him
(Nah leave him alone)
'Cause look he make u do all the dumb things
And you...
Wait wait, I wanna say something
{Hook}
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Let me fly away with you
{Verse 2}
I know what you went through and I know where you came from
'Cause all my life you've been singing that same song
I don't wanna sit in the can or run with a gang (why)
Because I give a damn but you just don't understand
I was looking for a fam, they looked at me as a man
You and mum don't agree but that is what I am
But you take that away calling me all types of names
Leaving scars on my legs and up and down my face
Then when I'm at school how can I not feel out of place
'Cause those aren't memories a pc can help erase
People say I'm humble, but really I'm just shy
That's why I mumble and can't look them in the eye
So whats the point of school (what you say) wait just listen
Not everyone is built for a life of submission
Not everyone can persevere through this sort of adversity
Then make it to a uni or some form of tertiary
That requires desire and a healthy self esteem
Picking upon my character isn't helping me
And church? Man that's the last place I wanna be
With a bunch hypocrites in glass houses judging me
('Cause you the devil)
And yeah maybe I should hang around with the white kids
Maybe they're not prone 'cause they're not exposed to violence
If they were they would be followed by a path of sirens
But you can beat me at church and no one bats an eyelid
Have you ever thought you brought that with me from the islands
Have you ever thought to talk? Have you even tried it
Do you realize I'm going through a transition
How can I see a good future if I have bad vision
You sent me to school I was fortunate no less
Apart from my reports you never checked on my progress
A flower doesn't blossom if nature ignores it
So how can I be successful if I'm not conditioned for it
Too many of us have fallen by the wayside
And your oblivious to the fact that something just ain't right
You see white kids on the news you blame on it the parents
When you see us on the news you say its 'cause we're bad kids
Thats it? In other communities parents don't get immunity
From their kids acting out their insecurities
(Oh u blame us?) No your missing the point
(No u blame us, mum go get the extension cord)
{Hook}
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Let me fly away with you
{Verse 3}
That's your kids problem you got no respect
We're taught to respect everyone but ourselves what do you expect?
You beat the shit out of a dog and treat it like shit
And then you turn around wonder why you got bit
If I teach a dog its clever by now
But you haven't taught yourself to get it together by now
Look at Joe's son he never answer back
He got a good job and buy a car after that
What about Mary's son? He's sitting in jail
And Will? What about Will? He talks about killing himself
Ahh you know nothing, he's just possessed
What are you talking about? Will is fucking depressed
Just last week he sent everyone a text
But his sister sprung him just before he hung his neck
And if things don't change any one of us is next
But you don't see that and brush it off as just a threat
(Oh bullshit)
And then you mourn us but it's too late we've ended it
If you just broke the cycle you could've prevented it
(What cycle?)
You presented it, we grow up and perpetuated it
Then spend the rest of our fucking lives trying to break it
Listen to your mouth, can you hear yourself?
Yep, I sound like history repeating itself
Instead of seeking help for your anger we'll see it out
'Cause God forbid feelings are something you speak about
The bible say, "Honor your mother and your father"
'Cause you never get another and you only gonna suffer
Fuck! Do you it's hard to raise up a family
No skills for anything, only work in a factory
Only live in a government house, never make it out
Never have the money to buy the food or pay the house
Do you? Never good at school, never have a shoes
Do you know? Do you?

Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Let me fly away with you
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
Love me love me love me, say it
