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