KEEPING SCORE

I put a lock on myself
‘cause I was burglarized early
it takes the shape of a death
but something new grows

when people get in my face
and want the whole of my story
I practice way too much grace
I know the threshold

if I told you I was angry
you’d tell me how I should change
told you I was injured
you told me not to feel pain
well, I’m not seventeen
I’m not seventeen anymore
but I’ve been keeping score

you saw the face of a kid
and felt a threat to your grown self
everyone saw what you did
tore down a young girl

I see these women out here
raising their boys like messiahs
but all they model is fear
creates the same world

and if I tell you that I’m angry
you tell me how I should change
tell you that I’m injured
you tell me not to feel pain
well, you’re not seventeen
you’re not seventeen anymore
but I’ve been keeping score

if I tell you that I’m angry
you tell me how I should change
tell you that I’m injured
you tell me not to feel pain
hey, we’re not seventeen
we’re not seventeen anymore
but I’ve been keeping score
I’ve been keeping score
