Verse 1
without a name I'd know his face
In this city the kid's my favorite
F
Dsus4
I've seen him
Seen him run outside looking for
a place to hide from his father
F
Dsus4
The kid half naked and said to myself "Oh,

I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses,
C
D

Verse 2
Just ten feet between and his mother,
I never see her
F
But her screams and cussing,
Dsus4
G
I hear them every day
Threats like: "If you don't mind
I will beat on your behind"
"Slap you, slap you silly"
F
Dsus4
Made me say, "Oh,
D
G
what's the matter here?"
C

Answer me and take your time

D
Em
All these cold and rude things that you do I
C
D

suppose you do because he belongs to you
