[Verse 1: Logic]
Hear my words…
Cause I was born in a Shanty town
I used to live around the city and cars
But they threw my whole family out
We don’t have schools so I can't make my family proud
And I’m way past hand-me-downs
I wear what is there for me
And when I was six the army came, there's no fam left to care for me
My brothers and my dad was made to fight
See I was born in Uganda, and this is where I think I'm gonna die
I saw my mother getting raped, my sisters cried
And then they raped my two sisters and just pushed my mum aside
Before ending all three lives
Now I live on the beach, but it ain't' no seaside
I’m sick of seeing the sea, I think I’m nearly 8 years old
And I ain't the only kid like me
Yea this ain’t the saddest story ever told
I want revenge, and I can’t let it go
I know It’s hard to hear, but it’s true stories
There’s so many of us
I know it’s easy to ignore me
I know about living real poorly
Where every day’s gunfire
No food, it's a drought, make the sun higher
I live real street life, I’ve seen faces disappear
And everyday I hustle for food, and while I'm living here
I clear fear out of my thoughts
If I die fam, I die, that’s the way I was taught
And I fought for every scrap of food I ever got
There’s no letter box, you can only help when you come here
And that’s the point I want to get across
Charities don’t make me better off
My teeth hurts, there’s no dentist to fix it
See I’m poverty driven, I don’t envy the rich kids
‘cos this is just life I must live this
Just hear my words, I need more than wishes
Listen..
