[00:21.850] | These kids trapped in a struggle and |
[00:24.020] | Nowhere to head at night |
[00:25.920] | A head full of trouble is all they're getting |
[00:29.020] | And nobody knows the suffering they go through |
[00:32.770] | And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you |
[00:36.620] | |
[00:37.290] | trapped in a struggle and |
[00:38.550] | Nowhere to head at night |
[00:40.370] | A head full of trouble is all they're getting |
[00:43.780] | And nobody knows the suffering they go through |
[00:47.090] | And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you |
[00:50.230] | |
[00:50.770] | So many songs, so many times |
[00:52.550] | The world had to hear so many rhymes |
[00:54.540] | About how life is for strugglers |
[00:56.150] | Minority groups, kids with single mothers |
[00:58.210] | Young homies turn hustlers, stealing for money |
[01:00.020] | It's kinda funny how the crime rate is so high |
[01:02.200] | In suburbs where family ties are low, |
[01:04.030] | 'n suicides on the rise |
[01:05.460] | |
[01:05.850] | Oh why, so many die coz in their eyes |
[01:09.290] | The mistake they made, |
[01:10.530] | cant be erased the only way out is to take their life |
[01:12.700] | And if they dont do it sudden then they'll do it slowly |
[01:16.180] | Polluting themselves with drugs, |
[01:18.450] | because they on this world lonely |
[01:20.340] | So we as a nation just class 'em as a waste of space |
[01:23.640] | And if they don't help the economy then strip 'em naked |
[01:26.370] | Put 'em on the streets 'n make sure the police hate 'em |
[01:28.870] | And feed the public phony information on the evening news |
[01:35.390] | Kids may bomb police stations, to get at the boys in blue |
[01:37.240] | |
[01:38.450] | This song goes out to the whole justice system |
[01:41.200] | Instead of listening to the kids with the problems |
[01:43.710] | They just tick them off more |
[01:45.020] | Until these kids in prison or dead before they twenty four |
[01:47.810] | |
[01:49.350] | These kids trapped in a struggle and |
[01:51.280] | Nowhere to head at night |
[01:53.340] | A head full of trouble is all they're getting |
[01:56.410] | And nobody knows the suffering they go through |
[01:59.980] | And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you |
[02:03.090] | |
[02:03.950] | You probably heard the news about the 14 year old kid |
[02:05.820] | Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit |
[02:07.780] | What you'll expect in, the situation that he was facing |
[02:09.710] | With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted |
[02:11.740] | But the mistake he made was fatal |
[02:12.420] | What about my mate who put a rope around his neck |
[02:13.400] | But he choked to death instead coz the fall never broke his neck |
[02:16.170] | See both of them, |
[02:17.260] | were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend |
[02:18.800] | The younger was in need of weed, |
[02:19.860] | the other had problems with his head |
[02:21.650] | Now they're both dead, and the same thing happens time 'n time again |
[02:24.030] | Kids dying all the time 'n leave us asking “why my friend“ |
[02:26.070] | And then there is those who run away from home |
[02:27.350] | Live on the streets 'n chrome |
[02:28.030] | Can't deal with tha pain of the world so they get stoned |
[02:29.510] | Sit in a zone, become known as the local drones |
[02:31.050] | With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans |
[02:32.820] | And nobody knows they came from broken homes |
[02:34.990] | Plus to us they're just emotionless clones |
[02:36.400] | And the pain plagues |
[02:37.340] | their brains they can't maintain healthy lives |
[02:38.800] | Change is all but easy, |
[02:39.600] | a life of crime is all but nice |
[02:40.440] | Plus life isnt worth living unless ya given the chance to fight |
[02:42.750] | Drugs might not be the answer, but who knows wrong from right |
[02:45.370] | When ya parents drinks 2 whole bottles |
[02:46.620] | Of wine, 'n puts the hose in the coke bottle, |
[02:47.940] | A lot of the time, kids dont know any different |
[02:49.060] | It's like they losing their minds, |
[02:50.700] | cant get a hold of their visions |
[02:51.690] | Think they're doing just fine, but they still in the struggle |
[02:53.400] | Yeah the kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble |
[02:55.400] | If you in trouble, jump over that puddle |
[02:57.190] | Some where out there someone really loves you |
[02:58.970] | Loves you like you never been loved, yeah |
[03:00.760] | Loves you like you've never been loved |
