B.o.B - The Kids Lyrics
Drug boy steady show time
Streets don't give a damn
They're filled with such pollution
The kids don't stand a chance
Forced to play our hand
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
Always in detention for the lack of my attention
You could call it deficit, really I just didn't listen
And I was always missin'
The teachers like, where is Bobby Simons?
But tryna get a record deal is all I can I remember
It's funny 'cause looking back on the past
That I had all my days in the streets tryna 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 hand
We're fill 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
[Janelle Monae:]
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
To worried bout tomorrow
And what it beholds,
He drowns of
Deep down in sorrows
Will you run or will you share your light
Tell a story or live in strife
See it when we're given hope
That we know that we can grow
We're trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hand
We're fill 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

April 27th is the 7th year anniversary of the adventures of bobby ray, and I'm still bumping this shit in 2017!!! It reminds me of the summer going into my senior year of high school, good times
Where can I find this version? The album version has abridged hooks and the outro is shorter.
I used to be ubsessed with this
7 years later, I discover this song
yup throwback in the way back were does the time go and the people you once knew🤔😏👆
heard this song the other night while I was up at 3 a.m. smoking blunts. needless to say it thru me back to HS and the freedom.
bringing back the memories ^_^
Janelle Monae went the fuck off in this song!! LIKE DAMN!!!!!
this .B.O.B. was compared to Lupe fiasco at his prime #thinkaboutit
still don't stand a chance in 2017
yobair Exactly
This is pretty cool, but it's lacking the guitar riff and beautiful string section that the original has
this song deserve a Grammy
i still got this album in ma phone
use to love this album
screw the new school, i just cant get into really any new music produced. the stuff from back in the day was just to good.
Exactly this is where the real music was birthed
my kids ran around singing this... they never stood a chance with me raising them :(
so real now in 2016!!! crazy the racism is and them fair sinned folks forgetting they were born with privileged.
and y'all that naive to what goes on with us but never forget history repeats itself!!!!!!
Privileged. How so?
Andrew Seaman thanks for painting a whole race with your own bias 👍
Come back when u get your BLM disorder medicated and are feeling better.
Damn do you any place i can cash in my white privilege? Am i supposed to get a card or something. Do i ask the goverment for more money since im white?
What about asian privilege? They make more than whites or blacks. Fucking bastards. Asians screwing white and blacks over
me too came back
vampy weeks
This song is perfect
Who came back 6 years later? Miss these times, good throwback ):
Krystal Castillo me
This takes me back to college
more like 8 for me
Krystal Castillo me too
This song is so underrated.
Nesha Britwood Facts
Damn right.
Vampire Weekend brought me here and Ms. Heart Attack reminded me this song was around. It's good though
Amazing
listening in 2016 and i love it
2017 Love it ... he still my favourite rapper ... but I liked him a lot more back in the day
So good!
I just spent 30 plus minutes trying to remember this song and could only come up with a British voice and an indie band singing it-and then remembered that its Vampire Weekend's version.
Lena Cecilia they wrote it ahaha and they're from New York
This song fits Flint, Michigan so well rn..
