Album | 100% Hits: The Best of 2005 |
[00:21.85] | These kids trapped in a struggle and |
[00:24.02] | Nowhere to head at night |
[00:25.92] | A head full of trouble is all they're getting |
[00:29.02] | And nobody knows the suffering they go through |
[00:32.77] | And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you |
[00:36.62] | |
[00:37.29] | trapped in a struggle and |
[00:38.55] | Nowhere to head at night |
[00:40.37] | A head full of trouble is all they're getting |
[00:43.78] | And nobody knows the suffering they go through |
[00:47.09] | And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you |
[00:50.23] | |
[00:50.77] | So many songs, so many times |
[00:52.55] | The world had to hear so many rhymes |
[00:54.54] | About how life is for strugglers |
[00:56.15] | Minority groups, kids with single mothers |
[00:58.21] | Young homies turn hustlers, stealing for money |
[01:00.02] | It's kinda funny how the crime rate is so high |
[01:02.20] | In suburbs where family ties are low, |
[01:04.03] | 'n suicides on the rise |
[01:05.46] | |
[01:05.85] | Oh why, so many die coz in their eyes |
[01:09.29] | The mistake they made, |
[01:10.53] | cant be erased the only way out is to take their life |
[01:12.70] | And if they dont do it sudden then they'll do it slowly |
[01:16.18] | Polluting themselves with drugs, |
[01:18.45] | because they on this world lonely |
[01:20.34] | So we as a nation just class 'em as a waste of space |
[01:23.64] | And if they don't help the economy then strip 'em naked |
[01:26.37] | Put 'em on the streets 'n make sure the police hate 'em |
[01:28.87] | And feed the public phony information on the evening news |
[01:35.39] | Kids may bomb police stations, to get at the boys in blue |
[01:37.24] | |
[01:38.45] | This song goes out to the whole justice system |
[01:41.20] | Instead of listening to the kids with the problems |
[01:43.71] | They just tick them off more |
[01:45.02] | Until these kids in prison or dead before they twenty four |
[01:47.81] | |
[01:49.35] | These kids trapped in a struggle and |
[01:51.28] | Nowhere to head at night |
[01:53.34] | A head full of trouble is all they're getting |
[01:56.41] | And nobody knows the suffering they go through |
[01:59.98] | And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you |
[02:03.09] | |
[02:03.95] | You probably heard the news about the 14 year old kid |
[02:05.82] | Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit |
[02:07.78] | What you'll expect in, the situation that he was facing |
[02:09.71] | With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted |
[02:11.74] | But the mistake he made was fatal |
[02:12.42] | What about my mate who put a rope around his neck |
[02:13.40] | But he choked to death instead coz the fall never broke his neck |
[02:16.17] | See both of them, |
[02:17.26] | were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend |
[02:18.80] | The younger was in need of weed, |
[02:19.86] | the other had problems with his head |
[02:21.65] | Now they're both dead, and the same thing happens time 'n time again |
[02:24.03] | Kids dying all the time 'n leave us asking “why my friend“ |
[02:26.07] | And then there is those who run away from home |
[02:27.35] | Live on the streets 'n chrome |
[02:28.03] | Can't deal with tha pain of the world so they get stoned |
[02:29.51] | Sit in a zone, become known as the local drones |
[02:31.05] | With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans |
[02:32.82] | And nobody knows they came from broken homes |
[02:34.99] | Plus to us they're just emotionless clones |
[02:36.40] | And the pain plagues |
[02:37.34] | their brains they can't maintain healthy lives |
[02:38.80] | Change is all but easy, |
[02:39.60] | a life of crime is all but nice |
[02:40.44] | Plus life isnt worth living unless ya given the chance to fight |
[02:42.75] | Drugs might not be the answer, but who knows wrong from right |
[02:45.37] | When ya parents drinks 2 whole bottles |
[02:46.62] | Of wine, 'n puts the hose in the coke bottle, |
[02:47.94] | A lot of the time, kids dont know any different |
[02:49.06] | It's like they losing their minds, |
[02:50.70] | cant get a hold of their visions |
[02:51.69] | Think they're doing just fine, but they still in the struggle |
[02:53.40] | Yeah the kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble |
[02:55.40] | If you in trouble, jump over that puddle |
[02:57.19] | Some where out there someone really loves you |
[02:58.97] | Loves you like you never been loved, yeah |
[03:00.76] | Loves you like you've never been loved |
