[00:01.05]Drug boy said it's show time
[00:04.66]Streets don't give a damn
[00:07.90]They filled with such pollution
[00:11.43]The kids don't stand a chance
[00:14.25]
[00:14.75]We're trapped inside the matrix
[00:18.24]Forced to play our hand

[00:42.10]Well, since I was planted at birth
[00:44.62]I abandoned my own planet and I landed on earth
[00:48.26]As I kid I never understood what I observed
[00:51.60]Some of it was strange but most of it disturbed me
[00:55.09]Always in detention for the lack of my attention
[00:58.09]You could call it deficit, really I just didn't listen
[01:01.53]And I was always missin'
[01:03.50]The teachers like, where is bobby simons?
[01:05.93]But tryna get a record deal is all I can I remember
[01:09.55]It's funny cause lookin back on the past that I had all my days in the streets
[01:14.50]Tryna prove that I was bad
[01:16.33]I still elevated to the level that i'm at
[01:19.96]Still elevated to the level that i'm at
[01:22.92]
[01:23.41]We're trapped inside the matrix
[01:26.82]Forced to play our hand

[01:50.78]Sometimes it's hard to grow
[01:54.14]While livin in fear of the unknown
[01:57.66]How can he ever give love
[02:01.03]When no love is in his heart?
[02:04.21]A child can barely see that i
[02:08.01]Do worry bout tomorrow
[02:10.99]And what it beholds,
[02:12.71]He drowns himself
[02:14.82]Deep down in his sorrow
[02:18.19]Will you run or will you share your light
[02:21.59]Tell a story of the live and try
[02:24.99]See it when we're given hope
[02:28.44]That we know that we can grow
[02:32.32]
[02:32.82]We're trapped inside the matrix
[02:36.25]Forced to play our hand
[02:39.62]We're fill with so much hatred
