These kids trapped in a struggle and
|
Don't know where they're heading, no
|
A head full of trouble is all that 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

|
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 that they're heading, no
|
A head full of trouble is all they're getting
|
And nobody knows
|
Nobody knows
|
|
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
