Drug boy steady show time
The streets don't
give a damn
They filled with
such pollution
The kids don't
stand a chance
We trapped inside
the matrix
Forced to play our hands
We fueled 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 abandon my own planet
And I landed on earth
As a kid I never
understood what I observe
Some of it was strange
but most of it disturbing
Always in detention for
the lack of my attention
You can call it deficit
really I just
didn't listen
And I was always missing
the teachers like where
is Bobby Simmons
But tryna get a record
deal is all I can remember
Its funny cause looking
back on the path that
I had
On my days on 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 trapped inside
the matrix
Forced to play our hands
We fueled 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
Some times its hard
to grow
While living 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 too worry
about tomorrow
And would it be hold
if he drown himself
Deep down in his sorrows
Will you run and will
you show your light
Tell a story live and try
See its when we
giving hope
That we know that we
can grow
We trapped inside
the matrix
Forced to play our hands
We fueled 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
