Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh
 Ohh ohh ohh ohh
 Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
 Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
 Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
 I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
 I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you
 said
 You fight about money, bout me and my brother
 And this I come home to, this is my shelter
 It ain't easy growin up in World War III
 Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
 I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
 my family
 Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
 I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
 Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
 I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
 leave
 Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound
 Make mama stop cryin, cause I need you around
 My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
 its true
 I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
 you, too
 I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
 Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
 no choice, no way
 It ain't easy growin up in World War III
 Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
