Grade 8

from SECONDARY SCHOOL by Ellevan

lyrics

I'm not inspired by this place
Makes me wanna run away
I feel like they don't speak my language
And keep me locked in a cage
Not being taken care of Just critiqued all day
I gotta get outside But the streets ain't safe
Sometimes it hurts inside But music got me saved
Takes away the pain Takes away the pain
Me and mama been moving around
And I'ma gonna prove myself now
I need to find a way out
This is my first day of grade 8 now
Can someone explain how
I just woke up face down on the ground
On a gray towel at some guy's place who tried to make out & rape my mom
Last night as I was passed out
Anyway, it's almost 8, wow
Hope I got some change now
So I can get some eggs out
Cause you can't eat the food at someone else's house
Fuck it, I threw on my Walkman
And I started walking and nodding
And bobbing my head along to 50 cent
He was poppin
Back when he dropped
Get Rich or Die Tryin
I felt so gangster but I was still just 4'11 and fat
Not much going right for a little Evan in fact
Best friend just got taken away for a criminal act
Mom got evicted and we ain't had
No place to go, and plus my dad
Got remarried to this new bitch
Who don't fuck with me and I don't fuck with that
So I'll be the man of the house without the house
I need to get my mom up off that couch
The bell just went off
Let me go and sit down and see what fuckin' high school's about
Do you know where room 101 is
This sucks
