[Verse 1]
My daddy took a look
On the day that I was born
And said "He looks like corn
And his feet are made of clay"
And then he walked away
And when I began to crawl
He knocked my head against the wall
And said "You're much to small
And you don't get no ice cream
Not even if you scream"
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I was knocked down
Made small
Treated like a rubber ball
Knocked down
Made small
Treated like a rubber ball
[Verse 2]
On the day I turned sixteen
I drove his car into the river
He stood and watched me shiver
As they dragged me to the shore
Wouldn't look me in the eye no more
When I finally hit the streets
I had my share of hard defeats
Every time I took a step
I felt the shackles on my feet
I was facing odds that I could never beat
My daddy took a look
On the day that I was born
And said "He looks like corn
And his feet are made of clay"
And then he walked away
And when I began to crawl
He knocked my head against the wall
And said "You're much to small
And you don't get no ice cream
Not even if you scream"
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I was knocked down
Made small
Treated like a rubber ball
Knocked down
Made small
Treated like a rubber ball
[Verse 2]
On the day I turned sixteen
I drove his car into the river
He stood and watched me shiver
As they dragged me to the shore
Wouldn't look me in the eye no more
When I finally hit the streets
I had my share of hard defeats
Every time I took a step
I felt the shackles on my feet
I was facing odds that I could never beat
