There was a boy, a boy I once knew.
He wasn't the best, according to you.
Yes, he sold drugs; crack and weed too,
but no one would judge him, not like you do.

You didn't know his life, spent one minute in his shoes.
All that judging and hating would soon torment you.
He was always pushed around, alway in the blue.
He found no way out, they made him sell too.

Then there came one day, when, just because of you.
He took his life, because he didn't know what else to do.
Now let this be a lesson to all of you,
don't judge a person without reason to.

There was a boy, A boy i once knew,
who wasn't as perfect, As perfect as you.
