[Chorus]

I really like to draw

And that's about all

I'm not the type to go conversate

Sometimes I feel like I shake when I talk

I look at my feet when I walk

And that's about all

Honestly, I ain't too happy today

And I don't expect it to change tomorrow

I go home and listen to music

My mind is abusive when sitting in silence

Try to tell mama, she quickly diffuse it and make me feel foolish

I'm looking for guidance

I turn to God, but I feel like a nuisance

I can't fully believe that He's watching

Lord, forgive me 'cause I'm only human

But I don't think I got a reply, yet

Go home and listen to music

My mind is abusive when sitting in silence

Try to tell mama, she quickly diffuse it and make me feel foolish

I'm looking for guidance

I turn to God, but I feel like a nuisance

I can't fully believe that He's watching

Lord, forgive me 'cause I'm only human

But I don't think I got a reply, yet

[Verse 1]

I'm in the back of the room

Sketching on pages of homework that's long overdue

Anxiety looms everywhere that I move

Like a cloud over me in a funny cartoon

"Don't call on my name, don't call on my name"

Replays in my brain, I refuse

Afraid of their judgment, but it's said and done with

And I try to say I don't care, but it's far from the truth

Don't see a point in this schooling

I'm labeled as stupid, so what is the use?

My biggest of dreams, I'm told, are just foolish

The harder to reach, the more that I hear that I'm not very tall

So, I listen to music

The truth is it helps hearing someone who's somewhat like you

But this pencil is my only muse

I cannot be muted when I draw–

[Skit]

“Hey! Get up.”

“Pick your head up. Get up!”

“Actually, you know what?”

“You’re up next.”

“Alright, start with your name.”

“Roger..”

“Okay Roger, tell us a little bit about yourself”

[Chorus]

I really like to draw

And that's about all

I'm not the type to go conversate

Sometimes I feel like I shake when I talk

I look at my feet when I walk

And that's about all

Honestly, I ain't too happy today

And I don't expect it to change tomorrow

I go home and listen to music

My mind is abusive when sitting in silence

Try to tell mama, she quickly diffuse it and make me feel foolish

I'm looking for guidance

I turn to God, but I feel like a nuisance

I can't fully believe that He's watching

Lord, forgive me 'cause I'm only human

But I don't think I got a reply, yet

Go home and listen to music

My mind is abusive when sitting in silence

Try to tell mama, she quickly diffuse it and make me feel foolish

I'm looking for guidance

I turn to God, but I feel like a nuisance

I can't fully believe that He's watching

Lord, forgive me 'cause I'm only human

But I don't think I got a reply, yet

[Verse 2]

Saying my prayers 'fore I go to sleep

Gets kinda hard hearing mama scream

Slamming the doors 'cause daddy will leave

But 'til five in the morning they out in the street

Woke up for school, but I can't stay awake

School lunch free but can't stomach a plate

I just got home, went outside to play

And a stranger pulled up with some presents today

Said he my father, I got scared

Ran up inside, and I'm telling my mom

"Some guy came to talk to me right over there

And gave me these toys I got in my arms"

She leaned in down on one knee

And told me the truth of it all

Pulled out a box of old memories

With pictures, poems, and told me he liked to– draw
