- Man I don’t like bullying. In the beginning I was laughing because of the cadences and words being tossed around. But once I paid close attention I realized what the song represents. Shout out to Bo Burnham for making this track and if you need me, please reach out! Anyone!

12:45 i feel like the bell is applause as he is being applaud for surviving the day
the little voice crack when he says "i got your back, kid" breaks my heart every time
As the spastic fat chick, this song makes me cry and smile a lot. Thank you for these reactions!
That’s really nice. I hope you’re doing okay, I know I’m just some random guy on the internet but I genuinely mean it
haha im also the spastic fat chick, gotta stick together these days.. u got this :]
What does spastic mean?
Man really good job going back and listening a 2nd time and actually outright admitting you misunderstood the first time, instead of just downplaying it. That honesty earned you a sub right here
Totally. These reaction videos are a tricky thing. On the reactor's side they're reacting to something and giving an opinion after just one listen, knowing that some songs take at least a couple of listens to fully understand, or at least a bit of time to let it sink in. Sometimes the whole meaning changes after the song is over and you know the overall theme, but as a reactor you might need to keep creating content and don't give it a second go. And even if they do, they might not want to waste time in making a second video talking about their new understanding of a song you already did.
And on the viewer's side sometimes we come down too hard at a reactor that didn't get the song after the first listen or didn't like a great song as much as you do, and you forget that maybe that song took a couple of listens to grow on you or for you to understand what it was really saying.
I totally agree.
@@bipolarewok 100%, especially with Bo. I don’t think anyone on the planet has listened to ‘That funny feeling’ for example once and understood it all.
@@pokemonfanthings4444 No one would ever agree, but in terms of wordplay, vocabulary, creativity, the double entrendres he puts in 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 line, like... This dude is a literal genius. He can out rap 99% of modern rappers, and he should be included in the list of all time greats.
Yeah he's silly and says a lot of ridiculous shit. But once you stop taking those lyrics at face value and listen to what he's ACTUALLY trying to say, just... Wow. I don't know anyone else that can get me thinking the way he does. And I'm a fuckin metalhead, I normally don't even like rap
the first time i listened to this song i cried like a baby. I was bullied, i was a nerd, i had the acne problem aND i cut. lmao. still gives me chills to hear to the "i got your back kid"
Same ✌️💚🎶
I cry everytime
hope you all are doing better
I'd like to point out two things about the part about "her". 1. Unlike the rest of the song, which is described as if happening right at that moment, everything about "her" is taking place in the past. 2. The section of the song ends with church organs.
Make of those two facts what you will.
I heard that the lyrics where the beat changes and he mentions “her” were actually based off of someone from his school who killed herself. Not sure how true that is but it certainly sounds like some sort of funeral march at the end, and you make a good point about the past tense thing
I’ve never noticed the church organ before now somehow.
Dude I love this song! I'm a trans guy, I was bullied in school not with the F slur but the female equivalent (I'm actually bi though lol) and I remember hearing this song and sort of playing it in my head when bullies would say cruel stuff. My parents didn't understand me and thought I would 'grow out of it', I don't blame them though it's the society we live in and they're accepting now :) I came out properly at 18 during the first lockdown and now I actually enjoy being alive, before I was very suicidal even from the age of 7 but now I'm so much happier and I'm so lucky to have accepting parents. I was also bullied for my ADHD, kids can be cruel man, so can adults though. I love Bo Burnham, he's great, honestly a lyrical genius in my opinion :)
how is anyone suicidal at the age of 7??
@@Daniel-cn3fw Bro just found out that people with traumatic upbringings exist
Very easily, I'm afraid. Maybe they don't really understand death, but a child that age can definitely understand death as a means of escaping pain.
You don’t get canceled for saying what they call you
Such a bar of a comment
this song is a great thought experiment, it's a clear example of how simply saying a word doesn't mean you're saying it with intent to harm or with venom toward a person, in fact he's doing the exact opposite. He's lifting up the person that is on the receiving end of words, and I think just hearing it said out loud in a context that isn't malicious takes a lot of it's power away. This is definitely my favorite Bo rap. let's go!
If you're reading this, go check out Jordan Goines solo one-take cover of this, I like it as much as the original!
The ending of this song never fails to hit me in the feels. Bo's got our backs, kids!
Its like hes just giving us all a Hug Y'know shit hits so hard
i really, really love your personality. I dont know how to put it into words but this feels like a safe space for me. I'm glad you exist and thank you for making these.
I love how you sometimes pause to explain things that seem obvious to most, so people who dont know english well or can't hear (me lol) aren't excluded. and theres so much more i can say. just.. thank you
(edit: added some)
Awww thank you Hannah! You are safe here! I promise 😊. Thank you for the love and thank you for taking the time to reach out with your amazing comment. You made my night 🙏
Not sure why the video was posted in 2016 but the album/special actually came out in 2013.
All of the studio songs that weren't included in the actual what. special (Eff, Nerds, Channel 5 News, Hell of a Ride) are top tier. Channel 5 News is one of my top 5 favorite Bo songs.
I use to not like this song, but the more I listened to it, the more I realized that I couldn’t listen to this song because I didn’t like it, it’s because I choke up every single time because it hits that hard. Bo just gets it ❤️ and that’s why i respect him so much. 🙏🏽
I was the kid with acne. It gets better. If anyone is struggling, keep your head up. Let the haters fuel your drive. You got this.
This is one of his most empathetic songs, it's beautiful... Glad you are reacting to it, not that many people do.
As far as I know, there are no good videos of him performing this but some of the phone videos aren't bad, and it did really add something. The first few instances of the chorus are recordings, he only sings the last one live.
This is a good montage of him performing it live ua-cam.com/video/zUHZrVwRTHI/v-deo.html
You've probably been requested it before a load, but have a listen to "are you happy?" By Bo. It's the outro from his Make Happy special, hits home so hard
I feel your reaction. This song gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears every time. Lifetime of ridicule (I'm 46 now). Thankful for this song and for all things Burnham and for this response video.
I had no idea Bo's music was any good. I never listened to it until you started doing these reactions. He's actually nasty with a pen.
Youve been missing out my man haha. Glad cliff here could help ya actually listen to it.
@@zeallust8542 I'm not missing out now that's for sure. Probably listened to everything he's done a dozen+ times now. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes my top 5 on Spotify this year.
@@sativafeen37 hell yeah man
The thing about cutting is that the pain is so acute and present, that it brings all your focus to physical sensation (as opposed to emotional suffering)… I would actually consider it a form of meditation. That being said though, it’s a really shitty form of meditation that causes more harm than good. Cutters can be helped by replacing cutting behavior with other forms of meditation.
What a well thought out comment. I used to self harm in high-school, but that was 5 years ago. I'm better now, and mediating. I never made that connection though. Thank you for writing this comment
Back when I used to cut I cut to dissociate. All of my mental problems would vanish because I was more focused on the process of cutting. Its a sad thing.
I have alot to say on this but I don't want to come off as some suicidal psycho. So all I'll say is despite the whole "cutting yourself is bad and means you're suicidal", it's something that has legitimately helped me cope through the last 16 years of my life. The stigma on it is inherently bad, but alot of people don't realize the positives it brings to someone who doesn't react well to meds or forms of meditation like you guys say.
@@nicholasneill7458 If you haven’t found relief from any forms of meditation, you must not be trying the right kinds. Western society only popularized meditation recently, and some people only know mindfulness practices.
As someone with ADHD, I find trying to focus on the meditation practices that work for others almost impossible. There are practices for an ADHD mind that aren’t as well known, but have been much easier for me to do…
No one in this comment thread said that cutting = suicidal, and I said that I recognize the positives that come from cutting as a means to cope with emotional suffering… it’s just a suboptimal solution is all
Ive never heard anyone explain cutting in the way I exactly feel about it. I used to cut, but I just meditate
Let's be honest, he'd be eaten alive if he posted this song today. But, like you said, if you actually pay attention to his message, it's really endearing. A lot of people only pay attention to the fact that he used slurs, rather than his clear support of the communities they are used against. Not to mention that the usage of these words are self-deprecating in most instances (in his case.)
In conclusion, really beautiful song. Underappreciated, to say the least.
Lol the people "eating others Alive" are morons who do far more damage to their own cause. Like the people going after Dave Chappelle.
nah. This one of the few Bo songs that he wouldn't be canceled for
@@nullakjg767 agreed.
@@NFort231 You'd be surprised. Some dude on my twitter timeline who had never heard of Bo or the song tried to "resurface it," (as if it hasn't been praised for the past 7-ish years,) and acted like he committed a crime or something. The replies were filled with a bunch of other people calling him "homophobic," "gross," things along those lines. Really strange tbh.
@@precious6303 oh yeah, Twitter is an awful place lol
Hey Man. I really liked this reaction. I wanted to point out that he has "Three friends, and a whack ass ride you can judge by the cover cause it's shitty on the inside".
Your reading of that line still got all the right emotion of the song but I think this line is valuable as written.
Glad you went back through it for a second time. I got more from it too. I love Bo but surprisingly hadn't heard this one before. Great song and great reaction!
I know I'm late to the party, but this hits home so hard. I was one of the spastic fat chicks that tried out for cheerleading in 9th grade and got cut. Then got made fun of for the next 4 years because I thought I could make it. Then I went to art, but that class got cut to have money for the next year's cheerleading uniforms ironically 😢 I didn't cut myself(a thing with blood) but I never recovered. I also hid in bathroom stalls and made the walls my mural \ soap box.
While I can't say it's true for everyone, my life got WAY better after getting out of high school. If you think life won't get better, that's not the case for everyone.
It almost always gets better after.
Shoot most of life is not school.
Life is way better after high school. Somehow less stressful depsite the fact you have more responsibility. I was literally 3 months behind on my car payment and unemployed for awhile, still wasnt as stressed as i ever was in high school. Its strange.
I think times like these goes in waves. Happiness is not linear in my opinion
Check out Eff and get ready to break down some lyrics
This song always gets to me. Amazing message. Bo is a genius and I hope the best for him.
So happy you reach 100K subs!! You are a great creator and a genuine good guy with real Ernest content! Much love bro
So glad I discovered you man, keep it up, I love every video! You message is too wholesome and true
Wow.. Thanks for the breakdown. Bullying seems to get worse and worse over time. My heart goes out to the kids these days... Glad there are people like Bo and you who's willing to help those who're bullied and be good role models. Thank you!
This song isn't quite "these days", this is over a decade ago. I think things have gotten a bit better actually.
I graduated high school in 2014, so I was a freshman in 2010. this song didn’t have an official recording, so all I had to listen to it was a low quality ripped mp3 from someone’s recording at one of his live shows, and this song is so nostalgic to me. I dealt with depression and anxiety all through high school, and I mean it when I say that shitty quality ripped mp3 was a cornerstone in helping me get through it.
Amazing break down! I love how in depth you went and understood the real message the song was trying to push across. A lot of people would just take it as an edgy comedy song but you went back again and really broke it down.
Dope reaction as always and congrats on 100k subs my dude 🤙
I'm glad you ran it back. Just found you and I've been on the bo playlist. Love your take on him. Just for that 2nd playthrough I'm gonna stop skipping your intro. ^_^ saw you mention that a few videos agos
I always cry at the break when I hear this song. It just hits so close to home to my own experience in school.
Since you are enjoying one comedy musician you should also check out Trevor Moore. He recently passed away but left us some amazing gems like "High in Church" and "I'm not good at adult shit". Also amazing videos for all of his stuff. Literally anything of his is good and comes in every style from hip hop to country.
Rip trevor wkuk4ever
Knee jerk reaction is anger/hurt, listen to it again, and you get the meaning. Best line "you don't know, I'm not explaining it"
Have you ever listened to Dave (Boyinaband)? I think his music would be good for reactions too.
BROO congrats on 100k!!!
Thank you so much! I couldn’t do it without everyone!
This song still makes me cry because of the hard times that it carried me through
I literally am like, dry crying relistening to this.
Great reaction! Kudos for adjusting the tone of the video when you picked up on the message. I shouldn't laugh but there is a dark humor in being worried about bullying because of the stabbing. That hit me. I got one of those chuckles with a lump in my throat and teary eye.
‘Cancel culture’ as a concept bothers me immensely. It’s used so loosely it’s meaningless. Holding people accountable for their actions and taking actions that make a difference is what to do if you care. JK Rowling, for example, hasn’t been ‘canceled’. Most people know she’s an awful person, especially HP fans. Yet she lives comfortably on millions of dollars.
All that being said for context, Bo getting ‘canceled’, if people try to, they won’t get close to succeeding. Not just because he’s wealthy but because of what he does. Bo’s not shy about his privileges and at the same time, Using slurs in a song can be done right and Bo proves it, because he has shown himself to be an ally countless times, including in this song. He’s an advocate and ally. So not only would ‘canceling’ him be a stupid thing to try, all it does is show me that you (meaning the people trying to cancel him) don’t understand or care about marginalized groups. You just hear the r or f word and go for it
As someone else pointed out, unlike Dave Chapel, Bo doesn’t use marginalized groups as a punchline. He uses the slurs to grab attention, but not just for that. It’s because if you are or ever were considered a ‘nerd’ you were probably called the r or f word, or picked on for having acne or being fat or spastic. Bo was called the F word all the time and he isn’t even gay (not that it makes much of a difference, just goes to show that people love using some variation of ‘gay’ as an insult in tje broadest of contexts). And many of us have reclaimed the terms.
We need to stop using the term ‘cancel’ in this way if we want to progress as a society.
Besides, I suspect this is just a term American conservatives use as a way to further divide disenfranchised communities and those trying to support them, the latter of which is a theme Bo brings up constantly through his work.
Same with the term ‘politically correct’. It’s such an empty term that does more to divide than unite.
Feel free to edit and plagiarize this essay it’ll probably do more good than harm
Rowling is actually a billionaire
40 more to go in my rewatch of all of your Bo Burnham reactions
I remember hearing this an really relating to it an I just love him an his music
like i was that "spastic fat chick" an like idk man i hate bullying an this song made me feel a little less alone
This is a uncancable sing. Thanks for going back and re listening. 100 listens to most of his songs will still not give you all of the message he means to get across.
Thank you bro, this song hits hard.
I have made 3 genuine suicide attempts in my life, and I have always been a cutter. My arms are littered with scars...
So the "she only felt when she kneeled and cut" really... cut deep... so to speak.
Hey. I'm glad you're still here. ❤️
Reacting to “Problematic” would be a really good follow up to this. Really enjoying your content man!
@Cliff Beats this is a unique video. you gave us an initial reaction then a break down, I haven't seen anyone do this. thank you..
Keep up the good work dude. Also I cant handle those eye brows. Lok
What is really fascinating to me regarding this song - aside from the obvious genius of Bo Burnham - is how I hadn’t considered the offence this song could cause with such obvious slurs being thrown around, especially if taken out of context. I only recognised it when I saw your immediate and visceral reaction to his usage of said slurs. Which kind of drives Bo’s point home further. These slurs that hold such weight are still thrown around like this so often (I know I experienced my share of it growing up). In fact, so much so, that I had unconsciously become desensitised to the viciousness of it all. The fact that Bo can so eloquently navigate tricky territory and deliver it in such a digestible format is a true testament to his genius. Because being able to consider the damage that, in this case, the ‘bullies’ display to the ‘nerds’, opens up the ability to discuss it. In today’s society, we so often turn a blind eye to these things, because we’re programmed to be uncomfortable about it. So the fact that Bo can tackle these issues in such a head-on way, might just help a person going through it to talk about it too. Bo destigmatises things we should be able to discuss, and makes it accessible to his audience.
You should watch "rehab for fictional characters" by bo, if you get a chance.
I did when I was a teenager. For me, everything that was happening around me (lots of abuse) was so much that I often felt numb and so hurting myself in that way caused pain which in my mind at the time was like, "at least I can feel something." I am in my 30s now, and safe and got help long ago and doing better. I'm not great, but I also haven't hurt myself in 13 years.
Next Bo vid - Art Is Dead (WORDS WORDS WORDS)
ua-cam.com/video/jvzNkTf1XJs/v-deo.html
the use of unacceptable words to make a point works in two very different directions. i'm a year late here but you come across as a genuinely good dude.
Haha the "I got a shitty ass ride you can judge by the cover cuz it's shitty on the inside" is actually the opposite of what you said. Like normally someone might say "don't judge a book by its cover" about an ugly car, but he's saying his car sucks inside and out
Nerds was released as part of the special "What" in 2013.
This was awesome xx ♥️🐢♥️ xx
Please do his song Repeat Stuff next. There's a music video with some great production value. There's also a live version from his stand up special.
Has anyone mentioned his film Eigth Grade? It was his directoral debut in 2018.
Man, Bo is a specialist at making songs that blow your mind and have a real heart, but lead you into the lesson with comedy
this song is really similar to Beautiful by Dave Malloy
And WOW he sounds like he's crying at the end
I don't know if it's just me, but after being bullied in school in the 90's and early 2000's, it feels like after I got out of school bullying has grown and become much more of a problem. I didn't have friends going through most of my bullying, so I remember being that one kid that would be sat in the back of class that no one wanted to work with. I had a fair number of group projects I did alone because people didn't want to work with me, and when it was a forced thing they just refused to actually do anything.
Once I made it to High School I made a few friends, and it wasn't until senior year when something was finally done about it. One of my friends got sick of one of the bullies and chased one of them down one day and broke their arm. He and I were both sent home for the day, but nothing else ever came of it after we explained what happened. It didn't STOP the bullying, but it did cause a lot of them to chill out, and a few of them to stop.
I personally think I have a thick enough skin that it didn't really bother me too much, and generally I was pretty happy to just do my own thing. There were times it would get to me, but It was also something where I didn't think I could do anything about it, so I just sucked it up. My parents didn't care too much, so it started to cause issues in other places. Like when I would go home, I wouldn't wanna do homework, because anything that reminded me of school just wasn't anything I wanted to think about, and my grades started to suffer for it. I sit here 16 years later struggling in college because much of my formative years where I would've been learning to better deal with homework, or how to better plan my time out for longer projects just...doesn't exist, because I never did it.
I really enjoy the 2nd time around breakdowns. Bo's not cancellable, they keep tryin though. Heavy-subject comedic rap has really gained momentum the past decade or so. It kinda disappeared after Eminem grew out of it, I didn't realize how much it was needed till that niche repopulated. I've noticed a lot of my favorite artists today could be stand-up comedians...
....annnnd speaking of comedic rappers:

Ive seen some people in the lgbtq community say that he should be cancled for using the f slur, but theres definitely way more gay people who love bo burnham, should he have said it? no. But, the songs are good man. Im a lesbian so i have some authority over saying this, i love bo burnham. This song especially means something to me and i love it still❤️
I agree 100%. I'm Bisexual, and I also have ADHD and am seeking assessment for Autism. Having been called both the F and R slurs in my childhood, this song brings a huge amount of comfort to me. I agree that Bo shouldn't have used the slurs in the first place, that's just common sense. However, I love the way he did choose to use them, because the only time it's said as an attack is when a bully is calling Bo the F slur to his face; a literal depiction of what the whole song embodies. Every other instance it's either in reference to himself having been called the F slur by bullies in the past(the intro), or implying to the people who have also been targeted by that slur that he can empathize, at least to a certain extent.
In my personal opinion, I feel like a majority of people in the lgbtq+ community that did say he should be canceled for this were looking at the song on a very surface level. Which again, I understand and agree that he isn't in a position to use the slurs and get off Scott free. But he's also said that he regrets a lot of his older songs because they were (Heavily paraphrased) "A cringy excuse for dark humour". He's apologized multiple times, publicly stated that he didn't stand by those older songs, and has made significant changes to how he structures his comedy. All in all, Bo is a musical genius who's had some rough spots in his learning journey. But he's just a normal guy, he makes mistakes and is man enough to admit to them.
@@wiimote7305 If I come off as rude, I do sincerely apologize. I don't intend to, but this comment strikes me as odd. You admit that although it isn't solely used against Queer people, it's always used against people who seem stereotypically queer. Meaning, whoever uses said slur automatically assumes the other party is queer in some way, regardless of if they are.
(Because it's the only way my brain can articulate how to describe this hypocrisy), Consider this. A group of black kids start picking on someone who isn't black. For the sake of this hypothetical comparison, these kids call the bullied kid the N word. This doesn't suddenly give the bullied kid the right to use that slur, just because it was used against them in some way.
If me making this comparison is insensitive, again, I apologize sincerely. At the moment, I can't think of a better way to explain the reasoning without using a similar (Though, I'm aware they are very different) set of circumstances. If someone else can explain it better than me, I'll gladly remove this section if it causes any harm
The people this song is about/for love it. The people tryna be mad about it can’t relate
This was released in 2013 on his what. Album.
That cut scheme was nasty........as someone who has struggled with it most of his life this in a song hits deep
A good juxtaposition to this song is Bullies by Trevor Moore. I just posted about him in another comment and in one of you're newer videos but I'd really appreciate if you reacted to some of his songs, he is my hero and he died last year. Still not over it at all. Want to spread his songs. A good start would be Gary (his non comedy song), Kitty History, My Computer Just Became Self Aware, and What About Mouthwash. It will show his range. Also when you get to Kitster's Song you should do the music video.
You keep looking at the date the UA-cam video came out to see you when the song came out and those aren't the same years. The songs from 2012 it's from his album what but it's one of the songs that isn't in the special that was sold on the CD.
WE got your back, kid
Bo's TV show Zack Stone's Gonna Be Famous is phenomenal and it's on Netflix
OMG... first Knox Hill does Watsky and now your doing Bo
😁😁😁👍
FUCK YEAH!!!
He's quite literally a genius, no wonder he got into hardvard.
Bro got accepted and never attended
I tell you my dood, I really could of used this song back in my teenage years. I was called all that shit and more. Thank you for not just getting lost in what words were used and instead thinking about why they were used.
When they come at you there will be ten more coming at you every time you react
I relate to this song, maybe a bit too much
If you need a palate cleanser check out acapellascience rap 'NERDS: A Manifesto' for a much more optimistic view of life as a nerd.
I know its bad kid. I got your back kid.
Don't really have anything to say but just wanted to drop a comment for the algorithm.
Not expressing, he's exposing.
Stevie knight put me on to this cat. He's nasty. Thank you for the rabbit hole you provided.
The Nerd's anthem
There's some of his songs that you have to go to other channels to find. Sunday School, Fetus, and one of my all-time favorite songs of his Oh My God which is the 2010 original version of From God's Perspective which is from what in 2012. I actually prefer that version. I'd highly recommend you react to that one in particular but there isn't a good audio quality version of it that has the full song you got to go with the live version where he's in that white T-shirt otherwise instead of the best lines of the song, the end line is something about not writing the ending of a song.
Remember every school had an awkward uncoordinated kid who had glasses, accordion lessons and braces. That kid beat me up every Thursday on the way to choir practice.

No one is canceling Bo. He gets it.
i almost give a care that people who weren't bullied enjoy this song, Bo's brilliance, that their lives aren't hard. I want to drag them down to my level, because I'm petty.
I wonder what people think of this, and I'm not agreeing with one side or the other, just curious as to people's thoughts. But would this song be considered bullying in itself? I mean Bo is pretty harsh and belittles the types of people that it refers to. But is that ok because we get the context that Bo or people like Bo were the ones being bullied in the first place, so it's more in self-defense or calling them out? Or is it just bullying the bullies?
Usually Bo's songs have something that makes you think, like hip hop being self centered and shallow, not caring about where they came from and instead buying gold rims, or Repeat Stuff and From God's Perspective, there are lines and verses that make you reflect on the subject. This song is a little different in that regard.
I think it's okay being angry at people that bullied you, it's a feeling, and it's valid
Yeah we shouldn't like literally bully the bullies, getting a revenge is not a good thing, people change, those bullies could've change, and overall we shouldn't continue the circle of bullying
BUT
It's okay, for example, to express that angry feeling in a song, as he did
First of all - it could made him feeling better, and also other people in the same situation
Second of all - he's calling them out but not specifically, he didn't call names, he just pointing out "that shit is bad, if you are bullying someone - think about it, it's awfull"
Personally I am not angry anymore at people that bullied me in school, I don't want anything bad happening to them or something, but this song is just giving me this comforting feeling of not being alone in it
Luckily this came out 8-9 years ago. Unfortunately if it came out today, people would try and cancel him without even realizing the meaning of the song. I find it tragically ironic that the people whom scream the loudest for everyone to be open-minded and understanding, are the first to lash out and cancel you if you have a different opinion. It seems everyone can express their own opinions, but only if it matches with everyone else's.
He said its shitty on the inside lol
6:58 If you left and came back for the breakdown , or just wanna skip to it lol
This came out in 2013
She’s a heated topic for some, but I’m curious on what you think of Gabbie Hanna’s music, if you’ve heard any of it. Her style of song and book writing is influenced by Bo and Shel Silverstein. If you want to make a UA-camr music react series out of it, too, or just Gabbie. I’m just interested in Cliff’s thoughts, anyone else can save their breath. We all have our opinions, just don’t need to say it all the time
im late to the party but this was made in 2010, not 2016. thats when the auto generated youtube music thing was made.
I get bullied all the time for being gay, at this point I don't really notice it cause its happened so often that I just kinda laugh it off. I mean I guess it's an issue, but I can't really see it that way anymore.
That first part he said I have 3 friends not rims. So judge the exterior because it’s shity on the inside. I’m guessing he was saying to the bullies judge the vehicle because they’re assholes and he knows what they think about the group of buddies. I didn’t hear rims and I know he said judge the outside because it’s shitty on the inside so I’m thinking I had it.
I feel like in the context bo is using it, it's alright.
