First Day (Grade 8) Lyrics

I'm not inspired by this place

Makes me wanna run away

I feel like they don't speak my language

And keep me locked in a cage

Not being taken care of Just critiqued all day

I gotta get outside But the streets ain't safe

Sometimes it hurts inside But music got me saved

Takes away the pain Takes away the pain

Me and mama been moving around

And I'ma gonna prove myself now

I need to find a way out

This is my first day of grade 8 now

Can someone explain how

I just woke up face down on the ground

On a gray towel at some guy's place

Who tried to make out & rape my mom

Last night as I was passed out

Anyway, it's almost 8, wow

Hope I got some change now

So I can get some eggs out

Cause you can't eat the food at someone else's house

Fuck it, I threw on my Walkman

And I started walking and nodding

And bobbing my head along to 50 cent

He was poppin

Back when he dropped

Get Rich or Die Tryin

I felt so gangster but I was still just 4'11 and fat

Not much going right for a little Evan in fact

Best friend just got taken away for a criminal act

Mom got evicted and we ain't had

No place to go, and plus my dad

Got remarried to this new bitch

Who don't fuck with me and I don't fuck with that

So I'll be the man of the house without the house

I need to get my mom up off that couch

The bell just went off

Let me go and sit down and see what fuckin' high school's about

Do you know where room 101 is

This sucks
