[A]
That young boy without a name, anywhere I'd know his face.
In this city, the kid's my [E] favorite [G] to see.
I've [E] seen her, I see him [A] every day.
Seeing him run outside looking for a place to hide.
From his father, the kid had me [Em] guide himself to myself.
What's the [A] matter here?
[D] I'm tired of [E] the [F#m] excuses everybody uses.
[D] You bet here, [E] I'd stay [A] out of it.
[D] But who [E] gave you [F#m] the right [D] to do this?
[E]
[A] We live on Morgan Street, just ten feet between.
And his mother, I never see [Em] her, but it screams and cusses.
I hear them [A] every day.
But that's like, if you don't mind, I will beat on your behind.
Slap you, slap you still he [Em] made me say.
What's the [A] matter here?
[D] I'm tired of [E] the [F#m] excuses everybody uses.

If [D] [Em]
you don't sit [G] in your chair straight, [Em] I'll take this bath from around my waist.
And don't you think [G] that I'll want to [D] answer [E] me and take your [F#m] time.
What could be the art that's [D] let me put [E] through it so [A] young and aged.
If [D] I'm the [Bm] [E] eyewitness to your [F#m] madness, offer me some words.
[D] [E] I see in [A] what I hear, all [D] these corrupt [E] [F#m] things that you do.
All [D] the wrongs you do [E] because he [A] belongs to you.
And [D] instead of [E] loving the feel of [F#m] all you've given him.
These cuffs and [Bm] swords that don't hit [E] the time [A] or the date.
But I [G] don't dare say.
