Parents help da cause
Da cause for suicide, cutting, and other hard to tell things
Dey think dey’re helping
Making us a better person
Wen in fact dey’re killing us
Wit der boring lectures and unnecessary yellings
Telling us dis and dat
Pressuring da grades
Pressuring da thots
Wat’s good for us, wat’s not
Dey keep us in da house
Under lock and key
For so-called ‘protection’
Wen dey’re holding us against our will
Against who we are
Dis is y der is rebellion
Dey don’t trust us
(cuz we’ll do sumthin wrong)
dey don’t wanna let go
(we’re jus a bunch of kids)
we don’t noe better
we don’t know jack
well, we may not noe a whole lot
I’ll admit to dat
But don’t think we can’t learn
Don’t think we don’t noe nething
We won’t make da same mistakes as u
We don’t even wanna be like u
So jus let us be
