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 chanc

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

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 simons

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 see that i

Do 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
