I read Animal Farm, not 1984 in school.

My English teacher was Guruge, reading that book, I was mischievous, they asked me to stay outside as punishment for another crime

I was a very bad, horrible kid

Shocking how I was never expelled despite never going to school and having so many detentions and suspensions

█████████████████████████ █████████ 's house with █████ for no reason

I went to say sorry to her the next day, I didn't really do anything, I was in the dude's jeep--he's done it

I regret every mistake I ever make
