The Kids (feat. Janelle Monáe)

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
