And all comes down alone at night
I think of me and my life
I think of me and my chances
Bringing back my memories
My job won't take me anywhere
School won't take me anywhere
But can I change society?
This ain't no good place for me

I feel the pain that this life ain't for me
cause I haven't chosen
Why me?

And I cry like a child, it is our destiny
if I could have chosen
Why me?

As I walk a dark street at night
coming back from school
had a hard day at work
It's raining and I feel cold

Police car stops by my side
check out my I.D.
Damn it, I didn't do anything
it's not what I did, it's what I am

I see a family that won't succeed
cause society will never let
Poor all will be
This ain't no good place for me

I feel the pain that this life ain't for me
cause I haven't chosen
Why me?

And I cry like a child, it is our destiny
if I could have chosen
Why me?

Why me?
