The Kerb

[Verse]
Powerless, powerless
Honoring this scripture gave me cowardice (Cowardice)
Holy spirit watched them when they cowered in
Howling, I was in the back avoiding how it is (How it is)
After school when jitas get to clowning (Clowning)
On the bus just as it left for town then
Clowns said, they calling people up to surf this route
Or catch a clout, yeah
Thinking there's no way I'm getting round this (Round this)
Two bullies thought to call me up around them
Around them
I knew their faces well
They shared some outfits, foul cliques
Bullies started joking pulled around then about them
I tried to scream and shout
My stop's coming, let me down, let me out
One jita pushed for his way
Pushing my face on the seat
The second sat on my back and kept my hands underneath
The first pulling was his pants
The second holding the squeeze
Them, yelling out to the sun
They shoved a moon on my face
Let me go on my way
Jumping off with just nothing to say
Jumping off with just nothing to say
Breathe, breathe

[Chorus]
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb

[Verse]
(They said water-boy wasn't black enough)
What happened to mothers' tongue
What happened to daddy doing his part
To be man enough
(They said waterboy never had it rough)
They questioned his character
Like questioning youngins for being rookies in stamina
(They said water-boy was a coconut)
In a city that sobers some
Adolescence was cold as f*
Visions of growing up
Kept my fist in a ball
Loosened the grip
Cause I know it's tough to persist
Feeling like you're nothing to miss
Couldn't figure why they would diss
Amongst Christians or pretty women
Damn, I should've listened
Took a swing at detention
Damn, now there's a dip
Where my iInner child need a best friend
Compensating this distance
Ccouldnt hold up a friendship
Slipping when codeswitching
I know

[Chorus]
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb, left right, left right
I ran to the kerb
