Stuffed into the same place and time

Telling everyone it's ok when it's actually not fine

Smiling to keep from crying

Having an attitude as stubborn as a stranded freedom rider

Swallowing tears and having the burn of hard alcohol mixed with apple cider

Dancing myself but hanging around and not being considered an outsider

Stuffed into the same place and time

Like not having parents there to tuck in at bedtime

The thought of them not being there sticks for a lifetime

Chin up, smile wide, and walking tall

Never thinking about the negative and never falling

Hits hard as a rock and pain that is small

Stuffed into the same place and time

Black's agains whites but being mixed is that a crime ?

Just smile through pain and relieve the stress from the mind

Having an attitude as stubborn as a stranded freedom rider

I'm not dumb I'm brighter than a highlighter

My attitude is mean and it's a real strong fighter
