What's this song about?

1
I knew this kid named Alberto, funny style cat
2
And his girl looked like a turtle
3
Not Lisa Turtle, just a turtle
4
High school track, he ran the hurdle
5
His peers shed tears senior year when he got murdered
6
Now Alberto was your average A student
7
Participated in class, never came late and never truant
8
His family was picture perfect
9
His older sister was prom queen
10
His dad a decorated vet from the Vietnam team
11
His mother was Dear Abby, an ordinary house wife
12
Like clockwork, always had dinner on the table at 5
13
But Alberto had a monster he kept under his bed
14
Instead of letting it out he just got a girlfriend instead
15
She knew something was funny, she could tell by his behavior
16
Or the way he flamboyantly shook his hand
17
When he would wave to her
18
She thought nothing of it and just shoved it in the closet
19
Until the day that word dripped out like leaky faucet
20
Alberto was homosexual, I ain't have nothing against it
21
But little Ronnie Johnson and all his football player friends did
22
They'd always pick and nag, call him, "Fag" and such and such
23
And couldn't wait to get to gym so they could really bust his nuts
24
The gym teacher never cared
25
He'd just join in on the action, he'd make silly gestures
26
And compared him to Micheal Jackson
27
Alberto couldn't take it
28
He'd just stop showing up and whenever he walked them halls
29
He just felt like throwin' up
30
And night he would cry and cry and ask, "God why?"
31
Like, "God, why the fuck'd I have to be born this way?"
32
God would reply, "Son, you've gotta show 'em you're more than gay"
33
'Cause he had dreams to be a track star
34
Until that warm April night them gay jokes went way too far
35
Ronnie begged for his forgiveness and invited him to a party
36
'Cause his parents went away and left him plenty of Bacardi
37
Alberto kindly accepted, he was finally accepted
38
Except it was all deception and left them all unprotected
39
It was a plan, Ronnie had scammed to get him in the right place
40
Verbally degrade and rearrange his pretty face
41
The plan would go swiftly, they started calling him sissy
42
One punch turned into fifty, they beat him till he was dizzy
43
Now Alberto lie in blood while his peers look on in fear
44
He took his last breath and passed away his senior year
45
Needless to say it was one big tragedy
46
And how was ronnie gonna explain to his family
47
While they were on vacation taking in sights
48
He got wasted and killed a kid that night
49
Don't be a slave and behave the way they do
50
Just utilize the gifts that God gave you
51
Don't be a slave and behave the way they do
52
Just utilize the gifts that God gave you
53
Don't be a slave and behave the way they do
54
Just utilize the gifts that God gave you
55
Don't be a slave and behave the way they do
56
Just utilize the gifts that God gave you
57
I knew this girl named Maria, bright and talented
58
With aspirations to be a big superstar
59
What a great idea
60
Until she fell off and started to listening to her peers
61
Oh, dear
62
Now maria was your typical obnoxious
63
Analytical head strong rebel
64
Flippin' off the principal, single mother home structure
65
She looked after baby brother while mom worked two jobs
66
Just to buy supper
67
Pops was a struggling musician, troubled man
68
Juggling family and heroin addiction
69
He overdosed and left a notice of eviction
70
And a crate of records on the table in the kitchen
71
And a little angel with a keen sense of sound
72
Who saw silence in the records she found
73
And she would stay up late at night
74
Reciting songs to herself under pale moonlight
75
Righting wrongs that her pops made
76
Promised her mom she'd never go that same route
77
Turns out Carrie Anne had other plans
78
Her and her man Ronnie most popular
79
Second best to nobody
80
Homecoming queen versus ugly duckling
81
And the story ends the same way
82
Okay, Ronnie's parents went away for a couple of days
83
And told him, "No drinking"
84
What the fuck were they thinking?
85
Maria was oblivious that her boyfriend had already been invited
86
So when Carrie Anne asked she got all excited
87
Like, "Damn now I got something to look forward to"
88
Or so she thought, Maria kindly accepted
89
She was finally accepted, except it was all bullshit
90
Not pay attention
91
Carrie Anne hated Maria 'cause she could sing
92
So she scored a bag of heroin but the craziest thing was
93
Maria never touched drugs, she did that night
94
And when her man was getting beat she was nowhere in sight
95
Now her boyfriend lie in blood and she had no idea
96
Alberto passed away and she got hooked her senior year
97
Needless to say it was one one big tragedy
98
And I hate to break it but it doesn't end happily
99
A warm day in May, the sky was so beautiful
100
Carrie Anne died in a crash leaving the funeral
