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
|
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

|
|
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
|
