Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

Just nine years old , seeking education
Everyday he runs home , his true destination
Innocent as can be , but goes home with scars
when questioned what happened " I fell hard "

Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

At home he gets beat , Without a soul to help
Anything he want , he gets it himself ..
No one to run too , No one to tell..
So at home , He lives in his shell.

Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

New day at school , Same situation.
He just sits there and takes it , while loosing patience..
One day he knows he going to reach greatness
So he just sits there and take it.

Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

He comes home with everyweek , with honor grades
But " get out of here " is all his parents say
Late at night it gets harder , and he cant sleep..
He is so scared , he see's dragons when he counts sheep..

Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

Years later he is no longer looking in the past..
He is about to graduate as the head of his class..
Looks through the crowd , sees nobody supporting
Which easily made his moment feel shortened.

Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

His parent were unable to pay his tuition
He searched Loans and grants , he was on a mission
One day he ran across a scholarship essay
The topic was bullying and abuse .. He knew what to say.

Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

Decade later he got the promotion to be president
Moved out the city to a nicer residence..
His parent called , lookjng for help..
Then he remebered , growing up he did it himself..

Dont Bully the kid
He goes through enough at home
Dont Bully the Kid
What did he do wrong ?

As he was going through applications , one name stood out
He thought and wondered , What is this about ?
Then there was a brief knock on his door..
It was the face of the bully who would put him on the floor.

You shouldnt have bullied the kid
Now your career is in his hands
You shouldnt have bullied the kid
Im sure now you understand.
