Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, check it out!
Oh, no
Here we go
Oh, oh

Please help me God, I feel so alone
I'm just a kid
How can I take it on my own?
I've cried too many tears, yeah, writing this song
Trying to fit in, where do I belong?
I wake up every day, don't want to leave my home
My momma's askin' me why I'm always alone
Too scared to say, too scared to holler
I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar
I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress
My nerves are bad, my life's a mess
The names you call me, they hurt real bad
I want to tell my mom
She's havin' trouble with my dad
I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn
Come to school
Don't wanna fight, I wanna learn
So please Mr. Bully
Tell me what I've done
You know I have no dad
I'm livin' with my mom

Cause I'm hopeful
Yes, I am hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy, but that's okay
Just be hopeful

Why do you trip every single day?
I didn't ask to be born but now I have to pay
I ain't got no money, you take all I have
When I give it to you, I search through my bags
I feel so scared when you shout me down
You kick me, punch me, throw me to the ground
When I ask you, "Yo, what have I done"?
You hit me again, and make fun of my mom!

And I'm hopeful
Yes, I am hopeful for today
Take this music and use it (check it out!)
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy, but that's okay
Just be hopeful

What I wear is all I have
We lost our home, I'm livin' from a bag
Yo, mr. Bully, help me please
I'm flesh and blood, accept me please
Hey, mr. Bully, I don't know what to do
My mind, it can't explain
What I did to you
Mr. Bully, take in all my pleas
Every single day you bring me to my knees

Hopeful
Yes I am hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay
Just be hopeful
