Such a sad sight
To see the son walk around
Black dyed hair
And ears pierced out
Nothing comes in him
Life is so scary
Living in a house
That has no swearing
Every time they talk about
His fucking dad who walked out
His shit gets escalated
All the emotions come out
He flips the house upside down
Storms up to his room
And blares the radio
Songs with fucked up lyrics, no where to go
His dreams are shattered
Replaced by thoughts of dying
Hiding the fact they're crying
While I'm down here singing
His mind is polluted
Trashed by this rock and hip hop
Enthralled by the thought
His favorite rapper carries a gun
He thinks that cool
But what he don't know
Is that they're protecting themselves
Cause they know about life itself
So let's change these lyrics
Let them know it's alright
That life can turn around
If you just sing out
So just sing to them please
Let them know not to let go
Just sing for their sake
But don't forget to sing for your own
