The Kids (Remix)

(album: The Never Ending Mixtape - 2010)

[B.o.B:]
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

[Packy:]
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 nothing 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

[B.o.B:]
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

[Packy:]
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

[B.o.B:]
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
