E F# A
Drug boy steady show time
A B E
Streets dont give a damn
E F# A
Theyre filled with such pollution
A B E
The kids dont stand a chance
E F# A
Were trapped inside the matrix
A B E
Forced to play our hand
E F# A
Were filled with so much hatred
A B E
The kids dont stand a chance

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