alright

i could hear the screams from the room man this kids bawling
broken down inside from the pain and the name calling
cant take it no more his family's foolish, they abuse him
callin him things like stupid cause they think their kid is useless
he can hear his parents arguing he goes in his room and tells god
the faint sound of his dad hitting his mom o wont u help mom
no on hears his cries, so its killin him inside
16 years of his life he's been putting up with this violence
his father yells at him and tells him forget the belt
look at the bruises and the welts, just imagine the hurt he felt
try to hide his scars by covering up with more clothes
he feels lonely in this world simply because no one else knows
what happens when he leaves school and goes home
gettin beat from his father feels like he cant go on
wants to let somebody know but he cant because he's scared
that if his dad found he spoke up its gon happen again
so folks dont rely on punching your kid if youre tryin to discipline them
hitting them with your fists cant beat righteousness in them
