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