But my dreams…… [High pitch, pause] ain’t any shorter,
I can put the ball into the basket,
I know I can do it….yes, yeah, better than you!!! [Emphasize]
But there you boss over me,
But there you bully over me,
You run with the ball away from me, you scream that I am a scum,
And there goes my dreams……. [High pitch] shattered.

But there you boss over me,
But there you bully over me,
You say go and check your foot, before you play with the ball,
And there goes my life goals……. [High pitch] shattered.

I know I can do it….yes, yeah, better than you!!! [Emphasize]
But there you boss over me,
But there you bully over me,
You say, I am ugly, you reprimand me for participating modeling,
And there goes my beauty ………… [High pitch] shattered.
