[Intro]
Blessed are the children
Aye!

[Verse]
I used to be a troubled child
School suspension, momma buggin' out
Ass whoopings 'cause I'm givin' her the run around
Now I run it up, until we never runnin' out
Some n***as chase a bag, some n***as run they mouth
Talk's cheap, the cost of living's gettin' high
I'm constantly in the kitchen, chasin' chicken, gettin' fried
Young Black Stars like Kweli, off the strength, just gettin' by
But we livin' in the blind, throw a ribbon in the sky
I, seen where life takes us
Where like makes us
Switch gears, dreams shattered by fear
Screens take up our time
Months turn into years
N***as stuck in the cycle, overlooked by they peers
N***as stuck in a race, the one that isn't real
But real is hard to face, it's something that's hard to deal with
It makes me think of the time we all was children
Before they took our innocence
Stuck in our ignorance
[Hook]
Back in the day
Shit, I remember when we all was (Children)
But now we isn't
Sometimes, it got me feelin' a way
'Cause I been stressin' tryna build for my (Children)
And make a difference, you know it
Through it all, know you got my heart
Even when we apart, can't forget how it started all from
Go-o-od, blessed are the children
