Didn’t Need Woes Songtext
von 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
That′s why my face's at the end of a balled up cubical
This kid named Tommy Anesworth
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, they′ll be three or four dead
This knife you can borrow, slip it in your pocket
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 niggas come, white flight
Niggas like black might
Made it hard for niggas like me to act right
But white folk show me that I don't fit in
They was niggas too
Right in my face they was spitting in
No kidding, no Barbie, no clean house to live in
Christopher, I′m sorry
Same shit again-ain
In comes step-daddy
He beat 'em like a grown man
I was only ten-en
He kissed me on my mouth
This how we was living
Neighbors really loved me
So in they house I went in
My head spinning from what happened way back then
It′s like a movie but nobody was acting
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 today
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
