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