What've I done to you to make you feel this way bout me
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me
Your just bringing me down
And everytime they go bringing me down
I just stay on up, thats whats up
Your just bringing me down
And everytime they go bringing me down
I just stay on up, thats whats up
Story of your life kid
Never thought you'd make it out alive like I did
Believe me it wasn't easy growing up see
She had some problems with her body throwing up she
Was always picked in beating till she bruised up
Tried to escape over eating to confused stuff
She was respectable, he wasn't really feeling it
But went along with him in hope of concealing it
To fit in she lived a life of pretending
You don't ever live a lie just to blend in
Cause there's a thousand them but only one of you
So make way step aside cause she's coming through
Beautiful lady, eyes like an autumn sky
And when them haters hate just keep walking by
And they'll nag ye and slag ye still but
You'll amount to more in life than they ever will
What've I done to you to make you feel this way bout me
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me
Your just bringing me down
And everytime they go bringing me down
I just stay on up, thats whats up
Your just bringing me down
And everytime they go bringing me down
I just stay on up, thats whats up
He tried his best to fit in
But wasn't given two minutes cause the colour of his skin
Yeah he was different from everybody else
Unique in his own way he stayed true to himself
They'd name call from a distance
The only time they'd ever truely acknowledge his real existence
Was when they beat him and make him snap
Because of the fact this chaps skin tone was black
He'd take the long road home and clear tears in his eyes
To avoid their racist ways and their basic lies
Making noise, tryna make his life hell
Feeling down, wondering who he might tell
See his parents weren't really there for him
So in his mind he's convinced no one would care for him
And they'll try keeping ye under the weather man
But stand up, stay strong and be the better man
What've I done to you to make you feel this way bout me
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me
Your just bringing me down
And everytime they go bringing me down
I just stay on up, thats whats up
Your just bringing me down
And everytime they go bringing me down
I just stay on up, thats whats up
Story of your life kid, Never thought you;d make it out like I did
They won't bring me down today, no they won't bring me down today
