8th Grade

[Verse 1] Caught staring again Like a deer in the headlights When you can't move fast enough I take a hit for the team Pretty girl is blushing I can't tell if she's disgusted Laughter starts to swell Someone gets the joke Bells ring, I make my escape Helps a little, but doesn't save Beat down's a common thing With us every day Maybe I'm just strange 'Cause I don't change schools So maybe I like the abuse Or maybe I just like you [Verse 2] Another confrontation You've got something to prove Your girl can't tell how tough you are When you beat me up in the boy's room! Well I made a big mistake But I can't help who I like This may not cost my life But I am branded forever lame This was not my decision You were born with good looks And a solid right hook Whining makes no difference You bruised my eye It doesn't hurt at all One day I'll rise above And you‘ll take a fall (Motherfucker!) I may be beat today But I will survive Get up off the ground Stand tall and fight My eyes, don't hurt at all I‘d rather die Then be your whipping boy School year's almost over Summer is one day closer Summer is one day closer Summer is one day closer [Outro] As God as my witness I‘ll never be a victim again
