F# C#
Am just trying to make some music

Some say that am young and crazy

Some say tham am insane
F# C#
Face my struggles daily
D#m B
I never once complain
F# C#
We might share the same culture
D#m B
But we are not the same
F# C#
You don't even know my story
D#m B
You don't even know me
F# C#
The stage is like a court room

The crowd is like a jury

I always learn to keep my faith
D#m B
Even when it seems too late
F# C#
Standing outside heavens gate
D#m B
Hoping to God they'll let me in
F# C#
I know I ain't perfect
D#m B
No one on this earth is
F# C#
So tell me why you wah fi fight me down

But I learn to stay strong
F# C#
Walk the streets without no fears
D#m B
Sleepless nights and no one cares
F# C#
At times I cry and no one hears
D#m B
Live my life out on the edge
F# C#
Watch my frenz lay in the dirt
D#m B
And no one knows how much that hurts
F# C#
Put on my pants, my shoes, my shirt
D#m B
