B.o.B, Janelle Monáe - The Kids (feat. Janelle Monáe)

[00:00.32] The drugged boy's steady show time [00:03.83] The streets don't give a damn [00:07.29] They're filled with such pollution [00:11.08] The kids don't stand a chance [00:14.37] We're trapped inside the matrix [00:17.45] Forced to play our hands [00:20.50] We're filled with so much hatred [00:24.43] The kids don't stand a chance [00:27.54] I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand [00:31.36] The kids don't stand a chance [00:34.39] I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand [00:38.18] The kids don't stand a chance [00:41.50] Well, since I was planted at birth [00:43.69] I abandoned my own planet and I landed on earth [00:47.66] As a kid I never understood what I observed, and [00:51.24] Some of it was strange, but most of it disturbed me [00:54.69] Always in detention for the lack of my attention [00:57.59] You can call it deficit, really I just didn't listen [01:01.23] And I was always missing, the teacher's like "where is Bobby Simmons?" [01:05.40] But trying to get a record deal is all I can remember [01:09.07] It's funny cause looking back to the past that I had [01:12.39] All my days in the streets trying to prove that I was bad [01:15.77] I still elevated to the level that I'm at [01:19.40] Still elevated to the level that I'm at [01:22.84] We're trapped inside the matrix [01:26.40] Forced to play our hands [01:29.41] We're filled with so much hatred [01:33.49] The kids don't stand a chance [01:36.01] I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand [01:40.02] The kids don't stand a chance [01:42.80] I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand [01:46.83] The kids don't stand a chance [01:49.65] Sometimes it's hard to grow [01:52.80] While living in fear of the unknown [01:56.82] How can he ever give love [02:00.12] When no love is in his heart [02:03.65] A child can barely sleep at night [02:06.72] Too worried about tomorrow [02:10.56] And what it behold, he drowned himself [02:14.10] Deep down in his sorrows [02:17.59] Will you run or will you share your life? [02:21.25] Tell the stories, live and try [02:24.58] See it when we're given hope [02:27.70] That we know that we can grow [02:31.25] We're trapped inside the matrix [02:35.04] Forced to play our hands [02:37.84] We're filled with so much hatred [02:41.54] The kids don't stand a chance [02:44.44] I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand [02:48.68] The kids don't stand a chance [02:51.74] I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand [02:55.51] The kids don't stand a chance [03:20.87]
