Exception

There they go again

Harassing this kid, so easily

His name is Andy, he grew up right down the street for me

I barely know him though I just see him at school while passing him

Usually followed by 2 kids giggling in back of him

I don't know why they feel the need to interfere

And I'll be honest man, the kid's obviously a little weird

He's got a stutter plus always talks to himself but it is clear

To me they shouldn't mess with him he probably wish they'd disappear

Like yea he's different, so? He ain't causing harm to anyone

Yea he might annoy them, not on purpose though, he's never done

Something intentionally offensive like these other kids

Like yelling stop being a retard when they see him mumbling

Or call him a fagget when he's saying something awkward

Yeah he lives with it, but he shouldn't have to any longer

He's just a kid like any of us, and matter fact

Next time I see it I'ma say something and have his back

The next day ain't any better, they're abusing him

Every day gets worse 'cause people except as they become used to it

And he don't stand up, but what can you do with that hate against you?

You call them out, you're called a spaz with some anger issues

They hear but they don't listen, senseless

They hearing that bullies are everywhere, thinking that here must be the exception

But it's so alive and it's so true

They got open eyes but they don't view

They got growing minds, that they don't use

And it's pulverizing our whole youth

But to be honest, Most of these bullies don't mean any harm

They're just kids like any of us, they like to be in change

They like attention, they just lack guidance in getting it

So they put others down, none of us are always innocent

But that don't make it right

'Cause again I'm watching Andy get tortured by two of his peers with no reason in sight

And I know he knows I'm watching, he sees me be paying attention

And it's getting worse and worse I hope he knows that I respect him

The next day Andy didn't show up to school and I was nervous

He always came to this class, I wondered what was the purpose

The same class had the two kids who've been messing with him

But without a target, both of them just blended right in

20 minutes later the class was pretty quiet

As Andy walks through the door he was shaking and crying

As all the heads slowly in sinc turn, he pauses

Then pulls a pistol out of his front pocket

The girls scream, the boys sat there terrified

Nobody expected it but everyone knew the reason why

And before anyone could say something fully

Within seconds two bullets flew into his bullies

More screams as the bodies collapsed

I felt I should say something 'cause I was the only one who had his back

I said, it's over Andy, they're dead, you had your wish

He turned to me and said, you-you were the third on my list
