[Rapper]
Someone else is really far from home
You don't understand what I've been going through
So don't judge me until you walk in my shoes
[Verse 1 Rapper]
Took a second as he looked over the unmown lawn
His hand froze on the handle of the front door
Feet felt glued to the floor
Driver side opens, here we go once more
With the front seat feel safer than whatever lay beyond the yard
What's the chance that this won't be the same as the last?
[Rapper]
Someone else's house
Someone else's rules
Someone else's room
Someone else's school
[Verse 2 Rapper]
He don't fit in anywhere and knows it
Hate it when a case worker try to sugar-coat it
What the f**? These people aren't mum and dad
So f** 'em when they try to tell me that my goodness is becoming bad
I must be good at it, the way that they keep coming back
Kick me out, pick me up, take me to another path
[Hook Rapper]
Maybe this time will be different, start from scratch and begin again
Maybe this time will be different, rebuild trust, restart that sh** again
Maybe this time will be different, I'd swap it all for somebody who'd listen
Maybe this time will be different, what if we could trade our positions?
[Chorus Singer]
Is anybody listening?
I don't wanna talk when you say that you know what's good for me
In the end you're gonna let me down again
Cuz you're not really listening
I don't wanna talk, not right now
You let me down again
[Verse 3 Singer]
Boys on the inside looking out
What are we waiting for?
Well maybe there's a crack in the wall
That will open up and swallow me whole
And I would disappear
But I fear that the outside world is a mirror that mocks me
And they keep shattering illusions
Every time they move me on
I've been moving so long
I start to forget where I even started from
Like a sad old song, where the feeling stays, but the words are all wrong
[Chorus Singer]
Is anybody listening?
I don't wanna talk when you say that you know what's good for me
In the end you're gonna let me down again
Cuz you're not really listening
I don't wanna talk, not right now
You let me down again
