For the Children (feat. Stephen Voyce)
How many children need to cry?
Before we give a damn
How many children need to die?
Before we give a damn
Before we give a damn
It's not what they think, it's not they know
The kids are in trouble just letting you know
It's hurting to see the eyes look at me
The tears run dry and I'm losing belief
I tell 'em stay strong, made them a song
So they can sleep and forget what is wrong
When they wake up, they hope that I'm gone
I'll be right here, where is your mom?
Losing your fam', the struggle is real
The world is so bad and we're living in fear
Children are hungry, the photos not clear
The life that we're living, forget what I feel
Taking advantage, people are dying
It's harder to manage, to live in this world and I'm hating this planet
Asking myself, "Why are you savage, why are you savage?"
She says she's hungry
She hasn't had a thing to eat in days (oh, no)
And then the tears fell, it broke my heart in pieces
How many children need to cry? (How many children need to cry?)
Before we give a damn
How many children need to die? (How many children need to die?)
Before we give a damn
Before we give a damn
I look at the youth as the future
Tryna make a change in the hip-hop culture
Look at the sculpture, the stories I'm feeling
The kids that are bleeding, this world I believe in
Is letting me down, that's what it is when I'm holding it down
Nothing is right and I'm lost in a town
Bullets are flying, I'm hearing the sound
Hearing the sounds, crack at the noise
The guns and the missiles they using like toys
Fed up of this and I'm making a choice
Made a decision and I'm making a point
Open those eyes, look what you see
I think we can change and I'm here to believe
All these lives dead and deceived, before I pass it back and get the deceived
She says she's hungry
She hasn't had a thing to eat in days (oh, no)
And then the tears fell, it broke my heart in pieces
How many children need to cry? (How many children need to cry?)
Before we give a damn
How many children need to die? (How many children need to die?)
Before we give a damn
Before we give a damn
Don't you hear the pain inside the voice of a little boy
Before we give a damn?
Can't you see the fear inside the heart of a little boy?
She says she's hungry
She hasn't had a thing to eat in days (oh, no)
And then the tears fell, it broke my heart in pieces
How many children need to cry? (How many children need to cry?)
Before we give a damn
How many children need to die? (How many children need to die?)
Before we give a damn
Before we give a damn
Before we give a damn
How many children need to die?
Before we give a damn
Before we give a damn
It's not what they think, it's not they know
The kids are in trouble just letting you know
It's hurting to see the eyes look at me
The tears run dry and I'm losing belief
I tell 'em stay strong, made them a song
So they can sleep and forget what is wrong

I'll be right here, where is your mom?

Before we give a damn
