Jules and the Gang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You find yourself saying "who me", time and again
They say what goes around, comes around
Ahun, so think about it while you're messing up clown
A mother's love and a father's concern
Here is the reason you should listen and learn
'Cause quick schemes and fast living can kill ya
I know how the excitement and danger can thrill ya
'Cause after all the highs, you're gonna feel all the lows
This is why knowledge of self is essential
'Cause if you don't have it, you may simply go mental
See, life is not a thing to be toyed wit
'Cause every second, another dream is destroyed wit
The systematic plan devised to erase us
And straight to hell is where they're trying to take us
But never fold and hold back your fears
Have a strong mind and try to say your prayers

Ikr I’m a middle school student and in elementary school My friends were getting bullied by this girl and we talked to a teacher Abt it
And they got My friends and there bully in trouble. But it was only 15 minutes and they only told the bully stop. Like How will that that stop a bully?
I’ve experienced bullying before
I had to give that girl my homework and do her test sheets for her
But the teacher didn’t see
This went on for a couple weeks to a month.. my bff had it worse though and I would rather get bullied then her 100%
I just got backstabbed (not literally) a month ago
But it was through texting.
She kept saying I’m a pick me, and I’m horrible, and annoying. It hurt.. am I really that annoying?
@Tye84xx

@SpaceRanger187
Its a hate crime
@kimwhite6784
What do you think bullying IS? Don't kid yourself.
@kevinc1001

@KRDP
i have 1 question , comrades have we learned nothing from columbine massacre???
@zzizahacallar
Exactly! My daughter was pushed by one of her so called friends. Didn't tell me because she was afraid and I told her to stay away from her. She's not your friend and if I did that to you as a mother it would be assault.
@DoomingPlays
This is seriously not bullying, it's a crime that should be paid for.
@c.s.440
Exactly. It's black violence and a racist psychopathic hate crime. We need to stop them
