3029787, She goes so far that it takes me out of it

It starts off REALLY well. Her first verse she's subtly setting things up where everyone from the outside thinks there's a picture perfect life, but there's clearly other serious issues going on here. Then, starting with second verse, she starts dumping in the whole kitchen sink: the principal is sexually assaulting her, then it's her dad who used to molest her but now has moved on to his sister. And, oh yeah, sometimes the Mom joins in. And the grandfather is also molesting her. It just devolves into abuse porn.

Then there's this action scene-esque sequence when she murders her whole family. And there has to be a better way to set the scene and get into the mentality of why someone would shoot up a high school. I certainly appreciate the ambition, but she dialed it up too high that it sort of muddies the impact of the ending.
