Didn't Need Woes - Krizz Kaliko

Man I always thought that it was odd how people looked

At my face like they was reading a book

And my momma say I’m black and I’m beautiful

Why’s my face at the end of a balled up cuticle

Of a kid named Tommy Ainsworth

Said «You felt pain, but I’ma show you pain hurts»

Hit me with the chairs that we put up on top of the desk

At the end of the day, I just ran away

And told my sister, she kissed me on my forehead

Said «Wait 'til tomorrow, there’ll be three or four dead

This knife you can borrow, slip it in your Pro-Keds»

She told me not to worry and say your prayers before bead

And it read that now I’ll lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord give me back my missing teeth

If I should die before I wake

I pray that lil' Tommy boy meet the same fate

Cause I didn’t need that

In my life, I’m too young

Didn’t need woes

And he didn’t even mean that

Probably ain’t right in his home

Didn’t need woes

Well

Hit me until I bleed

You gon' kick me until I bleed?

This for all you never loved, look what you’ve done to me

Look what you’ve done to me

Look what you’ve done to me

Well I always thought that it was good

To be a black kid from a white neighborhood

Here the niggers come, white flight

Niggas like black Mike

Made it hard for niggas like me that act right

But white folk show me that I don’t fit in

They was niggas too

Right in my face they would spit in

No K-den and Barbie, no clean house to live in

Christopher, I’m sorry

Same shit ag-den

In come step-daddy

Straight up out the p-den

He beat me like a grown man

I was only t-den

He kissed me in my mouth

This how we was livin'

Neighbors really loved me

So in they house I went in

My head spinnin' from what happened way back then

It’s like a movie but nobody was actin'

I wish that they would shoot me so I could go to Heaven

I wanted to die before I turned eleven

Look me in my eye and you could see I

Didn’t need woes

It’s still hard not to cry and I

Didn’t need woes

Well

Hit me until I bleed

You gon' kick me until I bleed?

This for all you never loved, look what you’ve done to me

Look what you’ve done to me

Look what you’ve done to me

Can you fix, crazy?

You made me like this, made me

I’ll be like this for forever and a day

Call the doctor or just stay like this

Look I’m a star now

Till I bleed

Wanna hit me until I bleed?

You gon' kick me until I bleed?

This for all you never loved, look what you’ve done to me

What you’ve done to me

Look what you’ve done to me

I’m a star now

Can I kick it?

(No you can’t)

Can I kick it?

(No you can’t)

Well I won’t (Don't)
