Caught in-between

Doing as you are told
doesn't always work out.
following instructions
even though they don't seem right?
that's messed up.
I was a victim once.
in a whole,
that was my childhood.

This shit can mess you up
that's for sure.
Tired of getting yelled at
so I turned mute.
I did as I was told.
Keep their mouths shut.
Don't ask questions.
Don't act smart
No excuses.
Play dumb
till you are set free.

Now I'm caught in-between 
between you and your mum.
I've passed that stage.
you rebel
you get knocked down.
Just give in.
You don't know nothing
still a child
still got a lot to learn.

Have the tables turned?
Am I helping
or destroying?
I guess only time will tell.
so please don't hate me.

I've been there
I've done that
but I wasn't a rebel
my voice was taking
away from me from a young age.
