The Kids
B.o.B Song Lyrics

Drug boy said it's show time

Streets don't give a damn

They filled with such pollution

The kids don't stand a chance

We're trapped inside the matrix

Forced to play our hand

We're fill with so much hatred

The kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

Well, since I was planted at birth

I abandoned my own planet and I landed on earth

As I kid I never understood what I observed

Some of it was strange but most of it disturbed me

Always in detention for the lack of my attention

You could call it deficit, really I just didn't listen

And I was always missin'

The teachers like, where is bobby simons?

But tryna get a record deal is all I can I remember

It's funny cause lookin back on the past that I had all my days in the streets tryna prove that I was bad

I still elevated to the level that I'm at

Still elevated to the level that I'm at

Drug boy said it's show time

Streets don't give a damn

They filled with such pollution

The kids don't stand a chance

We're trapped inside the matrix

Forced to play our hand

We're fill with so much hatred

The kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

Sometimes it's hard to grow

While livin in fear of the unknown

How can he ever give love

When no love is in his heart?

A child can barely see that I

Do worry bout tomorrow

And what it beholds,

He drowns himself

Deep down in his sorrow

Will you run or will you share your light

Tell a story of the live and try

See it when we're given hope

That we know that we can grow

Drug boy said it's show time

Streets don't give a damn

They filled with such pollution

The kids don't stand a chance

We're trapped inside the matrix

Forced to play our hand

We're fill with so much hatred

The kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance
