​kids can be so stupid lyrics

[Chorus: Axel Mansoor]
I was walking down the path, I was walking it
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
Mind slipped back into the past
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
New kid in every class, there was always a silence
Then they'd ask what was wrong with my skin
Then they'd laugh as if I would choose this
Oh, kids can be so stupid

[Post-Chorus: Axel Mansoor]
Kids can be so stupid
Kids can be so–

[Verse 1: Axel Mansoor]
Wasn't myself but it wasn't enough
My foreign tongue shone through too strong
All that I wanted was a friend
All that I needed was a chance
A chance to show that I was just like them
Don't be scared that I'm a little different
Won't you let me into your club?
Won't you let me prove I'm enough?

[Chorus: Axel Mansoor]
I was walking down the path, I was walking it
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
Mind slipped back into the past
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
New kid in every class, there was always a silence
Then they'd ask what was wrong with my skin
Then they'd laugh as if I would choose this
Oh, kids can be so—
[Interlude]
Kids are just f*cking cruel sometimes, y'know?

[Verse 2: Abhi The Nomad]
There's many times that I tried to be someone different
You would do the same if you was stuck inside of my prison
I couldn't catch a break, man, they really hated my pigment
The blacker the berry, sweeter the violence, clearer the vision, yeah
You can see it, the pre-existing condition
The kids are pointing and laughing, the parents that never listen
From dissin', fussin', and fightin' with b*tches that never loved me
Turned their hatred to greatness, now ain't a soul that can touch me
They were beating on my ass for being darker from the south
From parking lot abuse to barking at me like a lout
Never thought they'd see me immigrate, initiate a crowd
And you probably still a racist
Who the f*ck is stupid now?

[Chorus: Axel Mansoor]
I was walking down the path, I was walking it
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
Mind slipped back into the past
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
New kid in every class, there was always a silence
Then they'd ask what was wrong with my skin
Then they'd laugh as if I would choose this
Oh, kids can be so stupid
