| These kids trapped in a struggle and | |
| Don‘t know where they‘re heading, no | |
| A head full of trouble is all they‘re getting | |
| And nobody knows the suffering they go through | |
| And you wouldn‘t believe ‘em if they told you | |
| trapped in a struggle and | |
| Don‘t know where they‘re heading, no | |
| A head full of trouble is all they‘re getting | |
| And nobody knows the suffering they go through | |
| And you wouldn‘t believe ‘em if they told you | |
| So many songs, so many times | |
| The world had to hear so many rhymes | |
| About how life is for strugglers | |
| Minority groups, kids with single mothers | |
| Young homies turn hustlers, stealing for money | |
| It‘s kinda funny how the crime rate is so high | |
| In suburbs where family ties are low, | |
| ‘n suicides on the rise | |
| Oh why, so many die coz in their eyes | |
| The mistake they made, | |
| cant be erased the only way out is to take their life | |
| And if they dont do it sudden then they‘ll do it slowly | |
| Polluting themselves with drugs, | |
| because they on this world lonely | |
| So we as a nation just class ‘em as a waste of space | |
| And if they don‘t help the economy then strip ‘em naked | |
| Put ‘em on the streets ‘n make sure the police hate ‘em | |
| And feed the public phony information on the evening news | |
| Kids may bomb police stations, to get at the boys in blue | |
| This song goes out to the whole justice system | |
| Instead of listening to the kids with the problems | |
| They just tick them off more | |
| Until these kids in prison or dead before they twenty four | |
| These kids trapped in a struggle and | |
| Don‘t know where they‘re heading, no | |
| A head full of trouble is all they‘re getting | |
| And nobody knows the suffering they go through | |
| And you wouldn‘t believe ‘em if they told you | |
| trapped in a struggle and | |
| Don‘t know where they‘re heading, no | |
| A head full of trouble is all they‘re getting | |
| And nobody knows the suffering they go through | |
| And you wouldn‘t believe ‘em if they told you | |
| You probably heard the news about the 14 year old kid | |
| Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit | |
| What you‘ll expect in, the situation that he was facing | |
| With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted | |
| But the mistake he made was fatal | |
| What about my mate who put a rope around his neck | |
| But he choked to death instead coz the fall never broke his neck | |
| See both of them, | |
| were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend | |
| The younger was in need of weed, | |
| the other had problems with his head | |
| Now they‘re both dead, and the same thing happens time ‘n time again | |
| Kids dying all the time ‘n leave us asking why my friend | |
| And then there is those who run away from home | |
| Live on the streets ‘n chrome | |
| Can‘t deal with tha pain of the world so they get stoned | |
| Sit in a zone, become known as the local drones | |
| With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans | |
| And nobody knows they came from broken homes | |
| Plus to us they‘re just emotionless clones | |
| And the pain plagues | |
| their brains they can‘t maintain healthy lives | |
| Change is all but easy, | |
| a life of crime is all but nice | |
| Plus life isnt worth living unless ya given the chance to fight | |
| Drugs might not be the answer, but who knows wrong from right | |
| When ya parents drinks 2 whole bottles | |
| Of wine, ‘n puts the hose in the coke bottle, | |
| A lot of the time, kids dont know any different | |
| It‘s like they losing their minds, | |
| cant get a hold of their visions | |
| Think they‘re doing just fine, but they still in the struggle | |
| Yeah the kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble | |
| If you in trouble, jump over that puddle | |
| Some where out there someone really loves you | |
| Loves you like you never been loved, yeah | |
| Loves you like you‘ve never been loved | |
| These kids trapped in a struggle and | |
| Don‘t know where they‘re heading, no | |
