Bringing Me Down

Bringing Me Down - The Original Rudeboys

What've I done to you to make you feel

This way 'bout me

What've I done to you to make you feel

That you hate me

Your just bringing me down

And everytime they go bringing me down

I just stay on up thats what's up

Your just bringing me down

And everytime they go bringing me down

I just stay on up thats what's up

Story of your life kid

Never thought you'd make it out alive like I did

Believe me it wasn't easy growing up see

She had some problems

With her body throwing up she

Was always picked in beating till she bruised up

Tried to escape over eating to confused stuff

She was respectable he wasn't really feeling it

But went along with him in hope of concealing it

To fit in she lived a life of pretending

You don't ever live a lie just to blend in

Cause there's a thousand them but only one of you

So make way step aside

Cause she's coming through

Beautiful lady eyes like an autumn sky

And when them haters hate just keep walking by

And they'll nag ye and slag ye still

You'll amount to more in life than they ever will

What've I done to you to make you feel

This way about me

What've I done to you to make you feel

That you hate me

Your just bringing me down

And everytime they go bringing me down

I just stay on up thats what's up

Your just bringing me down

And everytime they go bringing me down

I just stay on up thats what's up

He tried his best to fit in

But wasn't given two minutes

Cause the colour of his skin

Yeah he was different from everybody else

Unique in his own way he stayed true to himself

They'd name call from a distance

The only time they'd ever truely

Acknowledge his real existence

Was when they beat him and make him snap

Because of the fact this chaps skin tone was black

He'd take the long road home and clear tears in his eyes

To avoid their racist ways and their basic lies

Making noise tryna make his life hell

Feeling down wondering who he might tell

See his parents weren't really there for him

So in his mind he's convinced no one

Would care for him

And they'll try keeping ye under the weather man

But stand up stay strong and be the better man

What've I done to you to make you feel

This way 'bout me

What've I done to you to make you feel

That you hate me

Your just bringing me down

And everytime they go bringing me down

I just stay on up thats what's up

Your just bringing me down

And everytime they go bringing me down

I just stay on up thats what's up

Story of your life kid

Never thought you'd make it out like I did

They won't bring me down today

No they won't bring me down today
