[Intro]
This type of thing just happens every day...
Goes unnoticed...
But I’m not here to point a finger at anybody...
[Verse 1]
If you got this CD, it’s likely that you already know
A lot of my life people told me I’m wrong
‘Til I felt out of place or alone
I remember the feelin’, this is how it goes
Like I woke with a cloud hangin’ over my head
The wrong side of the bed is any side that I pick
All the emotions envelopin’ me are holdin’ me in
I gotta hold it all in, full to the brim, but I’m gonna tip
Ticked off, other people’s problems get inflicted on me, my fault
Finger pointed at my face, you think I’m only so small
Blame your insecurities on me like I’m born wrong
Why try get it right, anyways I’m wrong
Even this song you criticize ‘til the beauty’s gone
Never happy with the things I’ve done, well I’m gone
Givin’ up, never been a runner in my life
But the time’s right, sick of feelin’ like I’m...
[Chorus]
Born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
[Verse 2]
The case with my father, but worse
‘Cause his mama was the one that beat him into a hearse
At least she tried, angels of God helped him survive
‘Til he ran away, to this day, I wonder he’s alive
Terrified, woulda put a gun between his eyes
But it was a knife to his neck almost every night
Tell me why, what’d make you do this to a child?
Lock him up like he’s an animal with nowhere else to hide
I could cry, sad ‘cause I can’t understand
But there’s times where I felt like my dad woulda had
When somebody talks to you like you’re a fool
‘Til you’re so humiliated and there’s nothing you could do
But listen to someone just criticize you to death
‘Til you’re nervous and turbulence circles your head
‘Til you sweat, you sense accusation ahead
Can’t face it, can’t take it, you think to yourself you’re...
[Chorus]
Born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
[Verse 3]
So nervous, you’re scared to breathe
Mentally, you’re numb, feelin’ like your lungs been squeezed
Holdin’ your knees, try to sing yourself to sleep
‘Cause the only place you’re safe is when you’re in your dreams
The thing is with kids, they don’t voice opinions like we do
So we don’t know the stuff we’re going through
So before you throw a fit with a kid that you knew
Stop and think for a second what that kid’s gon’ do
When they’re grown, you’re old and there’s no excuse
And rejection, neglection is still fresh wounds
‘Cause a fist leaves an imprint, verbal abuse
‘Til the mind is a tumor of scar tissue
Hurtin’ kids, sayin’ you got hit when you was young
Well, it takes someone big not to let it carry on
All you kids remember the words to this song
That it’s not your fault ‘cause it’s them, they’re just...
[Chorus]
Born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
This is to the kids who feel
Like this is it, this is life, this is good as it’ll get
Hold on
Don’t be doin’ nothin’ you’ll regret
‘Cause they’re all wrong, it’s not your fault
They make you think you’re born wrong
