Joel Turner - These Kids
These kids; trapped in a struggle and
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows tha suffering they go through
And u wouldn't believe em if they told you
Trapped in a struggle and
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows tha suffering they go thru
And u wouldn't believe em if they told you
So many songs, so many times
Tha world had to hear so many rhymes
About how life is for struggles
Minority groups, kids with single mothers
Young homies turn hustlers, killing for money
It's kinda funny how tha crime rate is so high
In suburbs where family ties are low, n suicide on tha rise
Oh why - so many die coz in their eyes
Tha mistakes they made, can't be erased tha only way out is to take their life
˜N if they don't do it sudden then they'll do it slowly
Polluting themselves with drugs, cause they on this world lonely
So we as a nation just class em as a waste of space
N if they don't help the economy then strip them naked
Put em on tha streets n make sure tha police hate them
N feed tha public phony information on tha evening news
"Kids may bomb police stations, to get at tha boys in blue"
This song goes out to tha whole justice system
Instead of listening to tha kids with tha problems
They just tick them off more
Until the kids in prison or is dead before he's 24
These kids trapped in a struggle and
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows tha suffering they go through
And you wouldn't believe em if they told you
You probably heard tha news about tha 14 year old kid
Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit
What you'll expect in, tha situation that he was facing
With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted
But tha mistake he made was fatal.
What about my mate who put a rope around his neck
But he choked to death instead coz tha fall never broke his neck
See both of them, were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend
Tha younger was in need of weed, tha other had problems with his head
Now they're both dead, and tha same thing happens time n time again
Kids dying all tha time n leave us asking "why my friend"
N then there is those who run away from home
Live on tha streets n chrome
Can't deal with tha pain of tha world so they get stoned
Sit in a zone, become known as tha local drones
With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans
N nobody knows they came from broken homes
Plus to us their just emotionless clones
And tha 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 tha chance to fight
Drugs might not be tha answer, but who knows wrong from right
When ya parents drink whole bottle of wine,
n puts tha hose in tha coke bottle,
A lot of tha time, kids don't know any different
It's like they losing their minds, can't get a hold of their visions
Think they're doing just fine, but they still in the struggle
Yeah tha kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble
If you in trouble, jump over the puddle
Somebody out there 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
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows, nobody knows
These kids trapped in a struggle
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows tha suffering they go thru
And u wouldn't believe em if they told you
These kids trapped in a struggle
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows tha suffering they go thru
And u wouldn't believe em if they told you
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows tha suffering they go through
And u wouldn't believe em if they told you
Trapped in a struggle and
Nowhere to head at night
Hair full of trouble is all that they're getting
And nobody knows tha suffering they go thru
And u wouldn't believe em if they told you
