The Kids by B.O.B. (feat. Janelle Monae)
D E G
Drug boy steady show time
G A D
Streets dont give a damn
D E G
Theyre filled with such pollution
G A D
The kids dont stand a chance
D E G
Were trapped inside the matrix
G A D
Forced to play our hand
D E G
Were filled with so much hatred
G A D
The kids dont stand a chance
D E G G A D
I said the kids dont, the kids dont stand, the kids dont stand a chance
D E G G A D
I said the kids dont, the kids dont stand, the kids dont stand a chance
D E G
Well, since I was planted at birth
G A D
I abandoned my own planet and I landed on earth
D E G
As a kid I never understood what I observed
G A D
Some of it was strange but most of it disturbed me
D E G
Always in detention for the lack of my attention
G A D
You could call it deficit, really I just didnt listen
D E G
And I was always missin The teachers like, where is Bobby Simons?
G A D
But tryna get a record deal is all I can I remember
D E G
Its funny cause looking back on the past that I had
G A D
all my days in the streets tryna prove that I was bad
D E G
I still elevated to the level that Im at
D E G
Still elevated to the level that Im at
D E G
Were trapped inside the matrix
G A D
Forced to play our hand
D E G
Were fill with so much hatred
G A D
The kids dont stand a chance
D E G G A D
I said the kids dont, the kids dont stand, the kids dont stand a chance
D E G G A D
I said the kids dont, the kids dont stand, the kids dont stand a chance
[Janelle Monae:]
D E G
Sometimes its hard to grow
G A D
While living in fear of the unknown
D E G
How can he ever give love
G A D
When no love is in his heart?
D E G
B child can barely sleep at night
G A D
To worried bout tomorrow
D E
And what it beholds,
G
He drowns of
G A D
Deep down in sorrows
D E G
Will you run or will you share your light
G A D
Tell a story or live in strife
D E G
See it when were given hope
G A D
That we know that we can grow
D E G
Were trapped inside the matrix
G A D
Forced to play our hand
D E G
Were fill with so much hatred
G A D
The kids dont stand a chance
D E G G A D
I said the kids dont, the kids dont stand, the kids dont stand a chance
D E G G A D
I said the kids dont, the kids dont stand, the kids dont stand a chance
