[Verse 1]
Wonder why nobody understand me
It's a shame when you even feeling akward 'round your family
Just wanna feel accomplished, don't need a Oscar or a Grammy
Young, lost mind
Maybe God gave my mom a child at the wrong time
I don't know, maybe I just don't
Fit in, I don't know
Teachers said I couldn't make honor roll
But how I'm 'spose to focus when they asking me what I got on?
I don't know, I didn't buy these clothes
Mama dress me, hater leave my mom alone
What did I do wrong?
Granny always called me handsome
She said I was a genius, and I was her favorite grandson
Don't know if granny right, cause in my class they call me ugly
I told a girl I liked her and she laughed like it was funny
I chased her, it didn't work, switched paths, and chased the money
I know one day them same people that laugh goin say they love me
Same people made me cry, they wanna act like they my buddies
It's crazy what can happen when you hungry
You feel me?

[Chorus]
Stick and stones may break my bones...
But words will only kill my soul...
But what about when I'm on the other side?
What about when I'm on the other side?
What about when I'm in the other side?
[Verse 2]
Hey
I love the weekends, I hated school
Didn't wanna go, that was just something that they made me do
Family all upset at me, but how can you get A's in school
When it seem like every body there got so much hate for you?
Suicidal thoughts, I blocked 'em out, I didn't hate myself
I just hated everybody else and all the pain I felt
Tryna tell a million jokes to mask all of the shame I felt
If I ain't have a dream, I might of went somewhere to hang myself
Lying to my family saying I'm a ladies man
Knowing it was not the case, they really made me beg
But if I told my mama they picked on me, I might cry, Lord
Cause I know I'mma superstar inside her eyes, Lord
Used to pour my tears out on my pillow till my eyes sore
Dry my eyes, and put that pain in something I would die for
Now I'm state to state, putting work in, Job Corp
And now they wanna give me encores
Its crazy

[Chorus]
Stick and stones may break my bones...
But words will only kill my soul...
But what about when I'm on the other side?
What about when I'm on the other side?
What about when I'm in the other side?
