I still remember when I was 3-years old
My first time as a prisoner
My first day at school
How I felt like going home
I did all they wanted
I believed in everything they told me
They asked me to be patient
I failed, they yelled: Rise and shine!
I rose and shone and saw nothing
I learned what was right with the wrong person
I watched the news on TV
And learned to steal to win
Nothing was like I imagined
Not even the people I loved so much
But so what, if that’s how it is
I’ll try to take the best for me
Help me if I need, do me what I ask you
Don't do as I do
But don't leave me here
No one asked me if I was ready
And I felt completely dizzy
Trying to find the truth
Amongst the lies of the city
I tried to see what was wrong
How many children God had killed
They drank my blood and didn’t let me live
They had my destiny chosen and didn’t let me pick
They speak about freedom to then lock me up
They ask for ID to then beat me up
They take away all my weapons
How can I defend myself
You won this battle
As for the war, we shall see
