Anger impulse

With a twinkle in my eye I believed that we are all the same A mother tried to teach her young man to swallow all of the pain If we go down there you're not coming back I've tried to hide tried to fight the anger impulse From some of you who held me down to some who just stepped on my fingers Some of them just walked away and some went to get their big brothers I feel my age and my thoughts have changed and now I know we're nothing alike I've choked back the hurt for so many years that my heart is about to break
