"Just a Big Kid"

by Christian G. | KIPP STRIVE Academy | Atlanta, GA

Sometimes it’s so hard to change 

I mean sometimes you’re just filled with pain 

Barely wanting to get up to change 

I mean what's the point 


Everybody just gone to make me rage 

And why just because I'm a little bigger 

Just because a have a different figure 


So what if I change 

Will I be happy?

Or just different?


What if I like my figure?

I mean people make jokes 

Laugh and snicker 

But it’s true I am bigger 

and I love that it makes me special 


I embrace my weight 

Cause skinny, short, tall, big 

I will be the same. 


Just a kid 

Tryna make a way 

Cause even though people love to hate 

It's not gonna make me change 

The way I think or change my weight 


I love myself so I’m gonna strive through all hate 

And pave the way for others like me to make a change.
