Shot with an air gun just to make me run.
Shot with an air gun just for fun.
Shot with an air gun just to see me fall.
Shot with an air gun just because I was small.
Shot with an air gun just because I was weak.
Shot with an air gun just because I didn't speak.
Shot with that air gun couldn't turn to my father
Or mother.
Because the one doing the shooting was my own
Big brother.
