The Kids

                                  Drug boy said it's show time

Streets don't give a damn

They filled with such pollution

The kids don't stand a chance



We're trapped inside the matrix

Forced to play our hand

We're fill with so much hatred

The kids don't stand a chance



I said the kids don't, 

The kids don't stand, 

The kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, 

The kids don't stand, 

The kids don't stand a chance



Well, since I was planted at birth

I abandoned my own planet and I landed on earth

As I kid I never understood what I observed n'

Some of it was strange but most of it disturbed me

Always in detention for the lack of my attention

You could call it deficit, really I just didn't listen

And I was always missin'

The teachers like, where is Bobby Simmons?

But tryna get a record deal is all I can I remember

It's funny cause lookin' back on the past 

That I had all my days in the streets tryna prove that I was bad

I still elevated to the level that I'm at

Still elevated to the level that I'm at



We're trapped inside the matrix

Forced to play our hand

We're fill with so much hatred

The kids don't stand a chance



I said the kids don't, 

The kids don't stand, 

The kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, 

The kids don't stand, 

The kids don't stand a chance



Sometimes it's hard to grow

While livin' in fear of the unknown

How can he ever give love

When no love is in his heart?

A child can barely sleep at night

To worry 'bout tomorrow

And what it beholds,

He drowns himself

Deep down in his sorrow

Will you run or will you share your light

Tell a story of the live and try

See it when we're given hope

That we know that we can grow



We're trapped inside the matrix

Forced to play our hand

We're fill with so much hatred

The kids don't stand a chance



I said the kids don't, 

The kids don't stand, 

The kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, 

The kids don't stand, 

The kids don't stand a chance
