[Hook: Wize] I know it sounds strange to your ears Tell me what’s going on inside of him He’s laughing through his fears Tell me what’s going on inside of him Why’s he acting up like this? Why’s he acting up like this? Why’s he acting up like this? Why’s he acting up like this? [Verse 1: Dre Murray] He never knew his father so he hurt, tears on his shirt This little boy knew much pain No one to tell him what he’s worth, got him feeling like dirt Kinda like he had no name, Charles Kinda like he had no aim, pause Think about that line, look you could press rewind but Imagine all the things that were going through his mind Tryna grow and be a man but no man he could find In his home, the song of a generation lost With no ID because fathers are unknown And mothers loan hearts to men who have shown That they only out to feed the flesh then they gone Sad but it’s true, the story of his life though His friend’s father stuck around, he must be a psycho That’s what he’s thinking in his bedroom drinking While he’s listening to demons say, “you’re probably gonna die slow ‘Cause that’s what happened to your father His blood’s in your veins so why even bother? Why try to change? This life only gets harder In fact, here’s a rope kid, you can die a martyr For the whole land of the fatherless Don’t try to change your story, ‘cause I authored this This has been my plan from the start of this And keep his name out your mouth, he ain’t even part of this Where was he at when your father left? Them nights when you cried and you hardly slept Thoughts racing, tryna catch a breath Look this ain’t the end of life this is just the start of death.” [Hook] I know it sounds strange to your ears Tell me what’s going on inside of him He’s laughing through his fears Tell me what’s going on inside of him Why’s he acting up like this?

[Verse 2: Dre Murray] What do you see when you look into his eyes A soul full of pain or a boy full of lies The good in his heart, yeah it’s something he denies So he walks around angry, wearing a disguise A mask, façade, kids in his class label him as odd He says he thinks the future prays for his demise So he laughs at the odds and claims that he’s God Che, and this is what we facing And I ain’t talking one, but a whole generation Global epidemic, I ain’t just talking nation Tune in to the culture, but let’s change the station [Bridge: Wize] [2x] I need to know that you’re still around Will you just scream, scream out loud Scream out loud [Hook] I know it sounds strange to your ears Tell me what’s going on inside of him He’s laughing through his fears Tell me what’s going on inside of him Why’s he acting up like this? Why’s he acting up like this? Why’s he acting up like this? Why’s he acting up like this?
