the kids (remix)

drug boys' steady shooting

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

that's where you're wrong

b.o.b

we got all the cards in our hand

if we follow our hearts

it's hard but i'll bet that we'll fan

more than the chance

we're a force to be reckoned with

pretty soon i'll use this pen to be endorsing my checks and shit

let's start a revolution

this is the generation to stray from the hate

and separate from the segregation

forget tomorrow

make today the day that we make a change

age ain't nothin' but a number

numbers give us strength

yeah we're kids

but we're so much more

we can be a peace of mind when there's so much war

we're the future

buy in

there's so much in store

together

we can reach dreams we couldn't touch before

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

no more excuses

move along

prove 'em wrong

use the song

show 'em youth is strong

show 'em that we do belong

time is ticking

show 'em who's the bomb

don't believe what they say

naysayers wait inside the box hoping that they can stay safe

i take off out the blocks

i'm off the clock

outside the box

this kid is off his rocker

he ain't got no office job or dockers

he's got his own drum

plays that shit and marches to the beat of it

damn right he sags his levi pants and flies by the seat of it

tell me i'm just a kid

tell me i'm naive

tell me i won't amount to shit

tell me i won't achieve

then tell me what you feel like when i make it and i leave

yeah i speak like it's a guarantee 'cause kids gotta believe

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
