Stop, That's Not Kind

[KID] Yo — red lunchbox on the ground, boom! Somebody laughing, my friend looked down in the room. Mouth went dry, but my feet said GO, Planted 'em hard and I let 'em know —

[CROWD] STOP! That's not kind! (hey!) STOP! That's not kind! (hey!) Come on, friend, walk beside me, leave it behind — STOP! That's not kind!

[KID] If it feels too big, don't freeze, don't hide, Run and get a grown-up — that's brave too, that's pride. I TORE down the hall, sneakers squeak (skrt!), Found Miss Lopez, teacher tall, couldn't even speak —

[KID] "Somebody's picking, somebody's sad!" She moved so fast, fastest move she ever had. A grown-up you trust, that's the move, that's the plan, Now there's two of us standing where it began —

[CROWD] STOP! That's not kind! (hey!) STOP! That's not kind! (hey!) Go get a grown-up — yeah, that's the bravest line — STOP! That's not kind!

[KID] I'm just a kid, but I know what's right, Stand up loud in the broad daylight. Red lunchbox back in two hands, boom! Friend at my side, we got room —

[CROWD] STOP! That's not kind! (hey!) STOP! That's not kind! (hey!)

[KID] (airhorn — BRAAAP!) We hit the swings, push high, push proud — say it one more time, say it LOUD —

[CROWD] STOP — THAT'S — NOT — KIND!
