Don't Mess With Me Lyrics

Used to walk for miles

In the cold and the heat

Just to get to school

After getting no sleep

Hang out with the goths

The creeps and the geeks

Had to deal with the jocks

The snobs and the sneaks

Never had money for lunch

So I made my own keep

Sold candy and sodas

Just so I could eat

Trapped in the classroom

Lost in the haze

Teachers all talking

But I'm stuck in a daze

Bullies in the hallways

Ready to pounce

Fists in the lockers

Echo every ounce

Skipping the classes

Numb to the core

Fighting these battles

In this endless war

You thought you knew me

Thought you had control

But I've found my strength

Deep in my soul

Now I'm taking flight

Above all the hate

I'm rewriting my story

It's never too late

I'm tired of the games, tired of the lies

Gonna rise above, reach for the skies

Don't mess with me, I'm doing my best

Just let me be, let me get some rest

I've been holding on, staying strong

Now it's your turn, you've done me wrong

I'm gonna break, gave it my all

Now you gonna pay, enjoy the fall

Found my escape

In the beats and the rhymes

Writing out pain

In the hardest of times

Friends come and go

Like shadows in the night

Trust is a commodity

Always out of sight

Lost in the system

Trying to find my place

Running from my fears

Can't escape the race

Knocked down so many times

But I still climb

From the ashes I rise

With fire in my eyes

Life dealt me a hand

Full of pain and strife

But I won't back down

I'll fight for my life

The streets taught me well

How to stand my ground

In a world so cold

Where no love is found

Dreams of a future

Where I'm standing tall

No more shadows

No more walls

Caught in the crossfire

Of dreams and despair

Lost in the shuffle

No one seems to care

I'm tired of the games, tired of the lies

Gonna rise above, reach for the skies

Don't mess with me, I'm doing my best

Just let me be, let me get some rest

I've been holding on, staying strong

Now it's your turn, you've done me wrong

I'm gonna break, gave it my all

Now you gonna pay, enjoy the fall
