We Need To Talk About Kevin by Rembrandt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kevin from a broken home, his dad beats his mom
Every night, he go to sleep and dream that they get along
He wish that he could kill him, but he knows that isn't right
So he thinkin' in his head that he gon' give it one more night
But if he fucks up, it's over
They ain't even gonna fight
But for now, he beats his brother only cause they look alike
He has nobody to talk to, nobody to walk to
He tried to talk to God, but the call didn't go through
School ain't much better
He ain't tryna go through this forever
Misery love company, this right here go hand-in-hand
And he will never understand why he gets no love
He just tries to say what's up, but instead he gets a shove
He done got his ass beat just for tryna speak
The teachers seen it all, but their job is just to teach
And they never told a soul about all the things they seen
And they never asked Kevin what this all really means
[Hook]
This is my last chance (repeat 3x)/
I'm ready to shoot (repeat 2 or 3x *shrugs shoulders*)/
*some cool shit producers do, idk*
[Verse 2]
His dad beats his mom, right before school
Right then he snapped, no time to act cool
Gun up in his dad's face, who'd thought it'd come to this
Yellin' out, "Come on, say somethin', bitch!"
Mama trippin', he ain't listenin'
Now he on a mission
One shot, two shots - now the whole house is shakin'
Breathing hard, breathing hard, he just tryna pace it
He ran his dreams away, now his demons are chasin'
And he love it, love it
He wouldn't trade this feeling for nothing
Runnin' in the school shootin' everybody too cool
To help him out of his locker or help him out of a trash can
And shootin' all of the teachers that saw it and never asked shit
Not cool enough for the school paper, now he all over TV
Not cool enough for a plaque on the wall, now he just started a legacy
For the first time, he's happy now
With that pistol all up in his mouth
Back to the wall, back to the wall
I guess this song just tells it all...
