Ricky Derose - Why Should I Apologize Lyrics

This song is dedicated to those who are discriminated against, hated, bullied, and rejected because they look, think, and act differently. Hang on, be strong, you're not alone.

Why should I apologize, for how I'm born?
I swear being different is nothing wrong,
I've always been like this all along
Now I'm throwing it all out, in this song
I have learned so much right from your wrongs
From your mistreats I have grown so strong... so strong.

Take a minute; think about it, and maybe you'll understand
The smartest people for others are always very strange.
They are not social, always alone, and I don't have too many friends.
That's just the way it is; they are not trying; they simply cannot change.
Bullying someone peaceful, quiet, and kind is ignorant
Ridicule someone because they're not like you; is very lame.
You think we are not cool, not fun because we are different
I think you are all clones because y'all look and act the same.

Why should I apologize, for how I'm born?
I swear being different is nothing wrong,
I've always been like this all along
Now I'm throwing it all out, in this song
I have learned so much right from your wrongs
From your mistreats I have grown so strong... so strong.

All eyes on me, they all put the blame on me,
Even though they know the type of man I am, I got integrity
But ain't that crazy, how some people are phony
I was there for y'all alone, in need, and now you all stand against me
Funny how those you help up, want to bring you down
Take care cause I won't be around next time you drown
I will be where I bond to be there are no doubts
So go ahead, slander me, hate on me, but I am stronger than your clouts.

Why should I apologize, for how I'm born?
I swear being different is nothing wrong,
I've always been like this all along
Now I'm throwing it all out, in this song
I have learned so much right from your wrongs
From your mistreats I have grown so strong... so strong.

Life ain't easy, mostly for people like me
But we try and do what's right, even when it looks like insanity
No, I'm not crazy, you just don't understand me
You're judging me before taking the time to get to know me
Products of events that occurred in our lives
Reality differs; we see things with different eyes
What's true to you may not be what I have in mind.
And what you say or think about me doesn't make me who I am.

To all the kids that are being bullied at school, by those bully fools
Tell them, they're not alone. "You're Not Alone."
A gay couple has the same right to love as a straight couple does
Tell them, they're not alone. "You're Not Alone."
Women should get the same pay as men, for doing the same jobs
Tell them, they're not alone. "You're Not Alone."
Old emigrant, new emigrant, we are all emigrants
So just leave them alone. "You're Not Alone."
Don't let them walk all over you, for your rights stand up and fight
You know, you're not alone. "You're Not Alone."
Every time you feel all alone, go ahead and play this song
And know you're not alone. "You're Not Alone."
