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