[Verse 1]
Sat in detention 'casue you're always late
Can't pay attention, 'casue there's a lot on your plate
You're misunderstood, so the teachers quit
Oh, what you gonna do when you're just a kid?
[Chorus]
Well, they don't know 'bout your story
Your life has only began
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Don't let them say how it ends
[Verse 2]
They took away your cousins, and your daddy too
You can't get a job, and the rent's overdue
Your mother got a lawyer that she just can't afford
You think you're grown, but you're still a boy
[Chorus]
Well, they don't know 'bout your story
Your life has only began
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Don't let them say how it ends
[Bridge]
One day, you're growing
And one day, they'll know just how hard it was to say no
To a life under streetlights, running from street fights
It's hard to leave your friends on the roads
One day, you're growing
And one day, they'll know just how hard it was to say no
To a life under streetlights, running from street fights
It's hard to leave your friends on the roads
[Chorus]
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Your life has only began
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Don't spend your life in the ends
