Battles

[Verse 1]

Joseph's really smart

He's good and he's got heart

His eyes are big and his bones are thin

He never has new clothes

He works a job that knows is killing him



[Hook]

Found out on a Sunday that he's going to lose his home

Everyone is fighting a battle of their own



[Verse 2]

Remy is a child

The teacher's say he's wise

They keep him on a kind of medicine

Now he don't run around

His ears are to the ground, listening



[Hook]

He might have been Mozart, but they turned him into stone

Everyone is fighting a battle of their own



[Verse 3]

Michael's full of doubt

The pout is coming out

His father and his friends would be ashamed

He talks to God at night

"If I ain't right, why'd you make me in this way?"



[Hook]

He's been taught to hate the only 'M' he's ever known

Everyone is fighting a battle

Everyone is fighting a battle

Everyone is fighting a battle of their own
