Styles P, Pharoahe Monch - Children lyrics

These lil niggas is crazy what the f
This our future it's about the children, man
Damn, ayo P i pray to God for them kids, man
No doubt, man, for real wherever they at
Real talk, it's real out here come on

(Children) in the hood seem to
Die at a young age
Wakes and funerals'll make it
Feel like a Sunday
All they talk about is money and gun play
(that's all) only light they getting is the
One from the sunrays (no light)
No light bulb, bright idea
Shame when kill that nigga's the right idea
(shame) like a nigga lose his life
Every night out here (every night)
Kina hot but they talk about ice out here
(it's hot out here)
(Children) It's all on some
Ill shit (ill shit)
12 to 19, already done kill shit (soldiers)
All of them is numb
Don't none of them feel shit
(don't feel shit) it's just like a war zone
That's on some real shit (it's real, homie)
Homie, this is OG talk, blow OG
(OG) kush, keep an OG (OG) cough
In a lowkey V, shakin' police off
(Shake 'em off)
Don't engage with your enemy
You know he soft, what up
(you hear me)
(Children) It's all missing the
Roof off (missing)
Lil niggas is hard they don't
Know how a school look (they hard)
They know how a sucker or a
Herb or a fool look (they seen that)
They know how a crack pack
Dope or the tool look (they seen that)
Yeah, shit is real out here (It's real)
And blood is like oil how it spills out here
(spilling) if you ain't from out here
Then don't chill out here
(don't chill out here)
The 9 mil, might pop a grill out here
(it might)

Some days and night I thank
God I don't have no (Children)
Struggling hard and it's a hassle (Children)
Gotta teach them how to survive and win
(Children)
The whole future of the world depends on
(Children)
So I talk wise and speak clearly (Children)
But still sometimes they don't hear me
(Children)
When I open my heart I catch a feeling
(Children)
Cause the kids need hope, they need healing
The children

In the burbs, play video games (games)
Imitate wack rappers and the video themes
(brainwashed)
Playstation, Xbox, Laptops, Desktops (damn)
I be asking myself when will this mess stop
(when will it stop)
Snotty little niggas is too rude (too rude)
All I know is Google and
YouTube is making it easy (shit's easy)
With nothing realistic you can see on the TV
(nothing)
But they call this reality show (yeah)
Something, make them gradually grow
(stunting their growth)
Make them lazy, it's so crazy (so crazy)
Me I stay hazy, always keep a dutch steamed
Cause they ain't even make it no bunge
The shit is touch screen (damn)
And they don't talk they text (huh) lOL, WTF
And I be like damn what the fuck is next
Cause Mr illuminati seem to cut them checks
(yeah)

Some days and night I thank
God I don't have no (Children)
Struggling hard and it's a hassle (Children)
Gotta teach them how to survive and win
(Children)
The whole future of the world depends on
(Children)
So I talk wise and speak clearly (Children)
But still sometimes they don't hear me
(Children)
When I open my heart I catch a feeling
(Children)
Cause the kids need hope, they need healing
The children
