Just a Kid Lyrics by RAY BLK

Empress

2018

[Verse 1]
Sat in detention 'cause you're always late
Can't pay attention, 'cause there's a lot on your plate
You're misunderstood, so the teachers quit
Oh, what you gonna do when you're just a kid?
[Chorus]
Well, they don't know 'bout your story
Your life has only began
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Don't let them say how it ends
[Verse 2]
They took away your cousins, and your daddy too
You can't get a job, and the rent's overdue
Your mother got a lawyer that she just can't afford
You think you're grown, but you're still a boy
[Chorus]
Well, they don't know 'bout your story
Your life has only began
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Don't let them say how it ends
[Bridge]
One day, you're growing
And one day, they'll know just how hard it was to say no
To a life under streetlights, running from street fights
It's hard to leave your friends on the roads
One day, you're growing
And one day, they'll know just how hard it was to say no
To a life under streetlights, running from street fights
It's hard to leave your friends on the roads
[Chorus]
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Your life has only began
No, they don't know 'bout your story
Don't spend your life in the ends
[Monologue]
Yo what's up Ray? I hope you're amazing sis
I'm sending so much love, it's Dynamite
I just want to take a second to reach out
To all the young people out there
You know, Far and wide
Life can be so challenging
You know, but whatever it may be
Throwing your way right now
I would love to remind you of your strength
To remind you of how far you've come
To remind you to check your own history
Check all the things you've overcome thus far
For those of you that are suffering
Or struggling, you know
Please don't suffer in silence
Find someone to support you
You know, there's so much pressure
So much pressure out there but you know what
It's a new day, it's a new day and the thing is
You are the new day
You are the new day
You are the gift
