“If you don’t cry when you hear this song, you’re not getting the message,” Lares said.
“She just nailed it,” Lares said about lyrics asking questions like, “Why you got put it all on me? Why’s it going to be on me?” and “How do I wrap my head around things to keep myself alive?” However, Lares said she released the music video with little to no fanfare out of respect for the Robb Elementary families.
