[00:29.35]These kids trapped in a struggle and
[00:31.52]Don't know where they're heading, no
[00:33.42]A head full of trouble is all they're getting
[00:36.52]And nobody knows the suffering they go through
[00:40.27]And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you
[00:44.12]
[00:44.79]trapped in a struggle and
[00:46.05]Don't know where they're heading, no
[00:47.87]A head full of trouble is all they're getting
[00:51.28]And nobody knows the suffering they go through
[00:54.59]And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you
[00:57.73]
[00:58.27]So many songs, so many times
[01:00.05]The world had to hear so many rhymes
[01:02.04]About how life is for strugglers
[01:03.65]Minority groups, kids with single mothers
[01:05.71]Young homies turn hustlers, stealing for money
[01:07.52]It's kinda funny how the crime rate is so high
[01:09.70]In suburbs where family ties are low,
[01:11.53]'n suicides on the rise
[01:12.96]
[01:13.35]Oh why, so many die coz in their eyes
[01:16.79]The mistake they made,
[01:18.03]cant be erased the only way out is to take their life
[01:20.20]And if they dont do it sudden then they'll do it slowly
[01:23.68]Polluting themselves with drugs,
[01:25.95]because they on this world lonely
[01:27.84]So we as a nation just class 'em as a waste of space
[01:31.14]And if they don't help the economy then strip 'em naked
[01:33.87]Put 'em on the streets 'n make sure the police hate 'em
[01:36.37]And feed the public phony information on the evening news
[01:42.75]
[01:42.00]Kids may bomb police stations, to get at the boys in blue
[01:45.31]This song goes out to the whole justice system
[01:48.70]Instead of listening to the kids with the problems
[01:51.21]They just tick them off more
[01:52.52]Until these kids in prison or dead before they twenty four
[01:55.31]
[01:56.85]These kids trapped in a struggle and
[01:58.78]Don't know where they're heading, no
[02:00.84]A head full of trouble is all they're getting
[02:03.91]And nobody knows the suffering they go through
[02:07.48]And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you
[02:10.59]
[02:12.13]trapped in a struggle and
[02:13.48]Don't know where they're heading, no
[02:15.22]A head full of trouble is all they're getting
[02:18.70]And nobody knows the suffering they go through
[02:21.90]And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you
[02:25.76]You probably heard the news about the 14 year old kid
[02:27.78]Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit
[02:29.18]What you'll expect in, the situation that he was facing
[02:30.33]With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted
[02:32.33]But the mistake he made was fatal
[02:33.76]What about my mate who put a rope around his neck
[02:37.10]But he choked to death instead coz the fall never broke his neck
[02:38.08]See both of them,
[02:38.76]were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend
[02:40.31]The younger was in need of weed,
[02:41.79]the other had problems with his head
[02:42.70]Now they're both dead, and the same thing happens time 'n time again
[02:44.52]Kids dying all the time 'n leave us asking why my friend
[02:47.82]And then there is those who run away from home
[02:49.30]Live on the streets 'n chrome
[02:50.04]Can't deal with tha pain of the world so they get stoned
[02:51.24]Sit in a zone, become known as the local drones
[02:52.71]With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans
[02:54.71]And nobody knows they came from broken homes
[02:55.80]Plus to us they're just emotionless clones
[02:56.84]And the pain plagues
[02:58.25]their brains they can't maintain healthy lives
[03:00.95]Change is all but easy,
[03:02.48]a life of crime is all but nice
[03:05.02]Plus life isnt worth living unless ya given the chance to fight
[03:06.47]Drugs might not be the answer, but who knows wrong from right
[03:07.83]When ya parents drinks 2 whole bottles
[03:08.96]Of wine, 'n puts the hose in the coke bottle,
[03:10.00]A lot of the time, kids dont know any different
[03:11.35]It's like they losing their minds,
[03:12.62]cant get a hold of their visions
[03:13.53]Think they're doing just fine, but they still in the struggle
[03:14.32]Yeah the kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble
