[Verse 1]
Picture this kid named Eric, he’s kinda emo
No one is his friend because they’re too busy judging his ego
He just started high school, hair covered his face
Filled with acne, walks through the hallways feelin' like a disgrace
He’s got a lot of issues but he’s tryna solve 'em
These kids keep pickin' on him
Yeah, he’s weird, but like, what’s the problem?
He started to clench his fist and stayed silent
But his classmates never knew inside he was plottin' to be violent
Next day, he arrives to school
From the way he dresses, he’s the definition of “not cool”
I saw it all 'cause I sit from the back of him
While these cocky kids still keep harassin' him
A part of me wants to say something, which I guess I’m as bad as the bully for not sayin' nothin' when they’re pushin' his buttons
He’s filled with rage as he’s eruptin'
He’s crumblin', he’s twitchy, he’s mumblin'
[Hook]
Y’all made this kid go insane
He thinks bullets relieve his pain
Y’all made this kid go insane
He thinks bullets relieve his pain
[Verse 2]
Check the history of his computer
Here’s my message to you: Dear shooter...
I hope this message will stop him
He writes back to say, “Sorry, that’s no longer an option”
One day, he’s feelin' despiteful
He walks into his room to load up his rifle
Without a clue, what the consequences would do
When he held that gun, he lost all his fear
No soul, not even drawn by a tear
As he walks into the school, he felt like he had a thorn tryna stick him
They always glorify the evil, not the victim
He’s got a voice in his head tellin' him to stop it
But he ignores the thought, pulls the pistol from his pocket
He was mad that nobody understood him fully
Then he takes a shot straight into his bully
His thoughts told him, “Screw it”
People always hurt him, but don’t know what pushed him to do it
“Eric stop! Don’t do this!”
He said, “You never have my back, so you’re next on my list”
