Maniacal - If I Was Gone

Now give it up for little Johnny in That math Class
The type of kid with an overloaded Back pack
The type of kid that everyone just Seem to Laugh at
Anyone seen Johnny
Yea hes on his path back home Running alone
Hoping their gone
Hoping that momma is home
Open the door
Quick so he can cry on the phone
To anyone who would listen
Its these signs that we're missing Close your Eyes pay attention now
You see his pain as he walking Through the Halls
Hes got his head down walking like Hes done This before
Ignoring his name as these kids kept Egging Him more
The more he kept quiet the more They kept Egging him on
Laying it thick
Wonder if this as bad as it gets
For little Johnny man hes gotta keep On living With this
This shit is the pits
Well here his shoe if it fits
Try it on for size
Tell me if you can really empathize
Tell me if I die today would you be Here Tomorrow
And If I didnt make it back home Would your Heart go
Would you stay would you go
If I was gone
If I was gone
Only if I was gone
Now give it up for little Johnny in That math Class
The same kid with that overloaded Back pack
Its filled with something that was Meant for him To clap back
A semi automatic and a bag filled With mad Gats
And now hes mad that he cant shake The Nerves back
Cant take the words that hurt him so Bad that
All he keeps thinkin is who to aim His wrath at
Hand on the clip while hes walking Past the Class that
Brought him the pain that made him Wanna go And blast back
Minds made up
Little Johnny is on the fast track
Walking down the halls pacing
Hearts racing
Its heart breaking
Walked in stoned face
Chaos in the whole place
Everybody running like is this really Happening
Johnny with a trench coat
Stiff like a mannequin
Holds up the gun and got everybody Panicking
Points it to his head pulled the Trigger that was It
Tell me if I die today would you be Here Tomorrow
And If I didnt make it back home Would your Heart go
Would you stay would you go
If I was gone
If I was gone
Only if I was gone
Another mother mourning
Another son dies
Just another morning
Another sunrise
Just another warning
Another surprise
Another life gone and
Its time we realize
Same old cycle same road same route
We all been there done that
Yall know what I'm talking about
This ain't a movie so I dont stay for The credit
It's this topic that moves me so I pray And I Spread it
Pray that you get it
Pray theres not a day we regret it
That we never breached the subject With our Kids for a second
Its important that we take the time And sprinkle The message
And use it as a teaching moment like An Empathy lesson
Or something along those lines
Something to Console those minds Something oh so kind
Could make it all so fine
Stop being so damn blind
Because it can cross that line
Its time to take that time
Because it deserves our shine
I'm gone
Tell me if I die today would you be Here Tomorrow
And If I didnt make it back home Would your Heart go
Would you stay would you go
If I was gone
If I was gone
Only if I was gone
Tell me if I die today would you be Here Tomorrow
And If I didnt make it back home Would your Heart go
Would you stay would you go
If I was gone
If I was gone
Only if I was gone
