Knocked Down Made Small lyrics

Treated Like A Rubber Ball)

My daddy took a look
On the day that I was born
And said he looks like corn
And his feet are made of clay
And then he walked away

And when I began to crawl
He knocked my head against the wall
And said you`re much to small
And you don`t get no ice cream
Not even if you scream

Don`t you know that I was knocked down
Made small
Treated like a rubber ball

On the day I turned sixteen
I drove his car into the river
He stood and watched me shiver
As they dragged me to the shore
Wouldn`t look me in the eye no more

When I finally hit the streets
I had my share of hard defeats
Every time I took a step
I felt the shackles on my feet
I was facing odds that I could never beat

Don`t you know that I was knocked down
Made small
Treated like a rubber ball

I finally woke up
And put my conscience on the shelf
I turned to crime
Started living for myself
Didn`t care about no one else

Don`t you know that I was knocked down
Made small
Treated like a rubber ball
