I’d ask why they couldn’t save me
And why they’ve been taking my family on the daily
Why they take my best friends, Hailey and Bailey
And lately I’ve just been feeling like I’ve been going crazy
But maybe
This is just the way it’s supposed to be
But I no longer fear it
‘Cause I feel the Lord is close to me
He restored my hope
That I’d one day be free
Yeah He helped me cope
With all these lonely nights of incarceration
Missing my family man
My heart is achin’
The only way that I can express myself
is through this art I’m makin’
The courts think I’m an animal
But they’re all mistaken
I’m just a kid carrying the weight of the world
And I feel like my back is breakin’
I got so many demons
I don’t know who to put my faith in
These lyrics are my happy place that I escape in
But how could you be happy
when everything you love has been taken
Put on a smile hoping nobody notices you’re fakin’
I’m tremblin’ and shakin’
Too much weight on my shoulders
I don’t know if I can take it
But I push on because everyone is expecting me to make it
But I’m just a kid
I know what I did
I don’t need you to remind me
No matter what I do
judgement always seems to find me
These people just don’t understand
that a few bad choices don’t define me
So they seclude me and confine me
Only seventeen but seen as an adult
when they try me
So they seclude me and confine me
Only seventeen but seen as an adult
when they try me
