Give A Damn

Give A Damn

A Poem by Essa G

Hey whatcha doing

Controlling my life

You ain't got a grip

On what I am inside


You can't tell me

What do do

Who to be

Who I am

And I don't understand

Why you should give a damn


It's my life

They're my choices

You think you hold me by

Unbreakable steel chains


I don't say a thing

But you'll get me soon enough

It'll go off in your brain

That I'm no child any longer


Hey whatcha doing

Controlling my life

You ain't got a grip

On what I am inside


You can't tell me

What do do

Who to be


Who I am

And I don't understand

Why you should give a damn


I'm my own person

You can't tell me to stay

You say later it's all worth it

But I know better than that


I'm a fighter

the melody

To the song

And to the beat


Trust me I know what I'm doing

I'm just waiting for the time

To come around the clock

When you finally realize


That you can't control my life

That you don't have a grip

On who I am inside


You can't tell me

What do do

Who to be

Who I am

And don't say that you care

When you never give a damn
