Found My Voice

But the music took the pain away...

From third grade up to eighth I walked alone (walked alone)

Kids would point and laugh and pick up every stone (every stone)

Called me different yeah they said I didn't fit (I didn't fit)

Every single day was like an endless pit

Never did a thing to make them treat me bad (treat me bad)

Still they took their turns to make me feel so sad

Then I found my voice in writing songs

Rap and R&B where I belong

They just called me wannabe all day

But music took the pain away

Yeah I found my voice in writing songs

Rap and R&B where I belong

They just called me wannabe all day

But music took the pain away

Lockers slamming echoes in the hall (in the hall)

Whispers turned to shouts that made me small (made me small)

Tried to change but always stayed the same (the same)

Til the rhythm gave me strength to break the chain

Never did a thing to make them treat me bad (treat me bad)

Still they took their turns to make me feel so sad

Then I found my voice in writing songs

Rap and R&B where I belong

They just called me wannabe all day

But music took the pain away

Yeah I found my voice in writing songs

Rap and R&B where I belong

They just called me wannabe all day

But music took the pain away

I found my voice... Yeah

I found my voice... Oh yeah

I found my voice, my voice, my voice oh yeah yeah
