Lyrics The Kids - Janelle Monáe , B.o.B
The
drugged
boy's
steady
show
time
The
streets
don't
give
a
damn
They're
filled
with
such
pollution
The
kids
don't
stand
a
chance
We're
trapped
inside
the
matrix
Forced
to
play
our
hands
We're
filled
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
a
kid
I
never
understood
what
I
observed,
and
Some
of
it
was
strange,
but
most
of
it
disturbed
me
Always
in
detention
for
the
lack
of
my
attention
You
can
call
it
deficit,
really
I
just
didn't
listen
And
I
was
always
missing,
the
teacher's
like
"where
is
Bobby
Simmons?"
But
trying
to
get
a
record
deal
is
all
I
can
remember
It's
funny
cause
looking
back
to
the
past
that
I
had
All
my
days
in
the
streets
trying
to
prove
that
I
was
bad
I
still
elevated
to
the
level
that
I'm
at
Still
elevated
to
the
level
that
I'm
at
We're
trapped
inside
the
matrix
Forced
to
play
our
hands
We're
filled
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
living
in
fear
of
the
unknown
How
can
he
ever
give
love
When
no
love
is
in
his
heart
A
child
can
barely
sleep
at
night
Too
worried
about
tomorrow
And
what
it
behold,
he
drowned
himself
Deep
down
in
his
sorrows
Will
you
run
or
will
you
share
your
life?
Tell
the
stories,
live
and
try
See
it
when
we're
given
hope
That
we
know
that
we
can
grow
We're
trapped
inside
the
matrix
Forced
to
play
our
hands
We're
filled
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
