Leave Me Alone

Walking into a new school,
See this girl
Teasing some kid in the hallway.
She sees me
Comes to me
Said, “Give me your lunch money!”
I say no
But she took it anyway
Stole the money.

Leave me alone
I want to be me,
Be free
Just listen to me
I want to be me,
Be free.

I pushed her away
After that,
She
Left
Me alone.
