Abused
So many feelings bottled inside of my being
I take this mess day by day
Pushing my obstacles outta my way
I can't believe i can still breathe
After all the things that i've seen
I walk outta my room
Same mess as last nite
After the big fight
She's on the floor again
He'd been on her again...
Beating what little she had left
Into a pile of drunk on the floor
I hate it when she's like this
I told her it would be like this
But did she listen?
NO
Did she see my tears glisten?
HECK no
I wouldnt let her see
She didn't need to know me
What goes on inside
Belongs inside of me
At school they all know
Cuz being native is tough
We've all had enough
Of the alchol abuse and the beatings
People call us stupid
But some dont know anything more
Cuz most times when you grow up one way
Your life is gonna remain the same
No matter what they say
