Growing up as a teenager,
I thought it was all a spell.
But daddy left and mommies depressed, so here's my tale of hell.
Got picked on and bullied.
Was always facing shame,
But those bullies set me as a target,
To them, it was a game.
I was put in a category.
My friends could say the same.
That small groups of friends,
Ya know the ones they called lame?
High school loves and broken hearts.
I sat wondering why.
But then I shrugged off tears and ended up wishing I could die.
Growing up as a teenager, they say to stay young for a while
But if life was as those memories portrayed, I think I'd skip the child.
It was homework, schoolwork, friends, and baes,
And I sat not belonging
From teachers, I was praised
Smart as can be, but no knowledge of the streets.
Some friends getting pregnant, portrayed as hoes in the sheets.
Not gonna lie, I laughed at them all cause I thought I was safe.
No no no, don't forget the life of my teenage worthless place.
Graduated like "Yes I made it!"
Those memories still burn.
Growing up a freaking teenager,
And when I have children...
It'll be their turn.
