Verse 1:
One day long ago, mama picked me up from school 
She said, "Son, won't you tell me what's bothering you" 
I said, "No, mama no, won't you leave me be." 
She said, "Son, you know better than to lie to me." 

Did they hurt you boy, no no no no
Did they curse you boy, no no no no 
Did they mock you boy, no no no

Chorus: 
What's there problem then 
Well mom it's gotta be my....

Verse 2:
Lets rewind the clock maybe 8 months ago 
When the tracks of my tears were beggin' for snow 
My angel oh my angel what are you doing this for 
She said I don't know baby I don't love you know more 

It's the way you dress, oh why oh why 
It's the way you dance, oh why oh why 
It's the way you move oh why oh why 

Chorus:
Does it matter so much 
Well it's gotta be my
Affliction 

Verse 3:
The devil he once told me you must stop this message son 
I said didn't you hear Sammy babe a change gonna come 
Now I will be the message my people need you see 
And I will give my broken brothers sanctuary
 
But they will hurt you boy, I know I know 
They'll condemn you boy, I know I know 
They may kill you boy, I know I know 

Chorus: 
I've gotta Beat it though
Whoa I've gotta beat my
