The Stick and the Stone

Targets

Both of Us

I was Ugly

He was Poor

I took the punches to my Jaw

He took the words to Heart

I told em sticks and stones

He told me 'Easier Said than Done'

Their hate made us closer over the years

We overcame so much

I graduated top of the class

He helped his community

A real class act

He said 'I need help'

I said 'Just tell me whatcha need'

He said 'Easier Said than Done'

I wish I wasn't stoned so often

So I could've have seen you were snapping

I wonder if I had truly listened

What else would've happened
