Verse 1
Am 
Em 
He was subjected to torts and jugs
Am 
and so -called class -based
Em 
due to the clothes that he wore
and he was overweight
Am 
Em 
His parents, when at four,
had over -acted by the fifteen
He had breasts, a rare occurrence
Am 
in a man once seen on any
Em 
field or court,
Am 
Em 
didn't participate in any sport
He good grades,
Am 
he gone through applying himself
Em 
Nicknamed the fat bookworm
Am 
Em 
for his ability to recall
C 
all that he learned
Am 
C 
Inspired by  the slackers
Am 
who wouldn't amount to anything
Em 
Even though envied their clothes,
they had girlfriends
Am 
Quiet himself to sleep on flights,
thought he had a disease
Em 
He's doctor, praised by drugs
and anti -inflammatory
Am 
Felt like a   guinea pig,
water retention and mood swings
Em 
A year on there's no change,
brings out the worst in him
Am 
Em 
In class, after a ses sion,
Am 
being teased by folks
Em 
He cracks a jaw, breaks a nose,
Am 
Em 
that's enough, it's enough
Am 
Em 
Am 
Em 
Am 
Em 
Am 
Left to pay by government
Decided he'd be expelled
Em 
A student of  distinction
In which his system fell
Am 
Off the ferry there's a reduction
In his medication
Em 
Also of  fers some schools
Which would accommodate him
Am 
But the parents of the frogs
wouldn't let things be
Em 
Decided on a brand of justice,
a judge and jury
Am 
They pursued him
and they planned for an elaborate trap
Em 
Off the school they say he's cool
and as they attempt to kidnap
Am 
Now they hadn't taken over the CCTV
Em 
And at that time walking the street
were two off -duty police
Am 
I don't know the finer details
of what happened in court
Em 
All I know is five years ago
and they're still not out
C 
Am 
He wasn't concerned about this,
he's more concerned about love
Em 
Besides that chapter in his life now closed,
G 
Em 
left in the park
Am 
His fu  ture's looking bright
but what I'm talking orange
Em 
He's studying, he joins a gym
Am 
Em 
Am 
Em 
and transformation begins

G 
Em 
Am 
He's re  warded for his efforts,
C 
he'll be in college
G 
Acquiring the qualifications
that will benefit him
C 
F 
As fat, good way to muscle,
his confidence grows
C 
G 
Even the focus he's stating,
looks good in his clothes
Am 
On the weekend, he works,
so turn it to shifts
Em 
Steady clothes designed by Boateng,
Hayford and Poolsmith
Am 
He's part of a team,
regardless of one of the boys
Em 
And the women working with him
see an intelligent man
C 
Am 
Ignorance is  never far,
raising itself once again
Em 
At the club a jealous boy
don't want to make his name
Am 
Cause the girl he's with's
not giving him attention
Em 
She drops in conversation,
she likes my man
Am 
Wants a bottle in hand,
the offer a clenched fist
Em 
For the punch that missed,
C 
but the bottle connects
Am 
There's blood everywhere,
he passed out, he couldn't breathe
Em 
Tried to revive him at home,
G 
C 
but too bright he couldn't be seen

Verse 2
Em 
Am 
lot of peer pressure going on,
Em 
a lot of bullying going on,
C 
but we don't need it.
Am 
So  just come on and walk that path,
Em 
and have a good time
while I'm doing it,
Am 
Em 
and let the music speak.
Travis Black in the house.
