Isaac Sanguma, 16, says it’s the best way to let everyone know how he feels.

“Music is my way of expressing myself. I was like, you know what? I need to get this off my chest and it really made me feel free,” Sanguma told Channel 2′s Berndt Petersen.

On TikTok, he is known as Lezone.

He recently poured his heart out in song.

The lyrics include the lines, “This school won’t be the same. I gotta keep my guard up. Can’t break down. I know Miss Irimie wants me to go harder.”

Irimie was one of the two teachers and two students shot to death inside Apalachee High School in Barrow County on Sept.4.

Sanguma was in her algebra class.

He remembers a lady who was kind, sweet, and supportive.

She was an educator who treated her students like they were her own children.

Sanguma and other students regard her as a lady who should never be forgotten.

“In the short span of 3 weeks, I appreciated her being there for me and helping me. I want to let her know that I’ll make sure that the ‘world’ knows her name,” Sanguma said.
