Текст (слова) песни: Unknown Prophets - 4 the Kids

 
[Big Jess talking] 
Yeah, this one right here...this for the kids...this is for all kids... 
city kids, suburban kids, rich kids, poor kids, messy kids, clean kids 
It don`t matter; man the kids is our future, people need to start waking up... 
And realize what`s really going on 
Cause everything ain`t all good, it`s really not 
So we just gonna do this for the kids right now 
And dedicate this to ya`ll - Unknown Prophets style baby 
 
[Mad Sun] 
To all the shorties who decided their favorite emcee`s rhymes 
And girls playin double doutch in the summer time 
I`m lookin at your childhood 
Reminicing on mine 
Yo it`s funny how things can change throughout time 
Now your online sendin out e-m`s to your friends 
Little Cats rockin today`s latest trends 
In the schoolyard, tradin your pokemon cards 
Everyone tryin to cop the ol` charizard 
Promos and holographics 
Dreamcast, videogames with the illest graphics 
Basketball practice 
Your Allison`s the future Jordan`s 
Saturday`s wakin up to catch cartoons in the mornings 
Yo I know it`s boring, sometimes your sittin in class 
Other days your straight clowin makin everyone laugh 
Passin notes to that girl that`s got a crush on you 
Your like, "Yo girl, I like ya too." 
For all the kids in the Burbs 
And all the kids in the City 
Hangin with your crew 
Actin mad silly 
Chase all your dreams till you make them reality 
Respect yourself, your peers and your family 
For all the kids strugglin` 
Keep your head up 
Brighter days are ahead 
The rain will soon let up 
And when your fed up, ready to call it quits 
Remember we all go through rough times 
Even the Prophets 
So this if for them kids at New Vision School, Bottnem Park yo in Harlem too 
To all the little rascals across the Map 
Peace from the Prophets 
No matter where you at 
 
[Chorus] 
This is for them kids who lact respect 
And this is for them kids with the well paid checks 
This if for them kids who get good grades 
And this if for them kids just tryin to get paid 
This if for them kids who stay in school 
And this is for them kids who wanna "act da fool" 
This is for all kids, whether good or bad, big or small, we still got love 
for ya`ll. 
 
[Big Jess] 
I see some of the kids on my bus 
They probed to cuss 
It`s like they headed straight to jail to be thrown in cuffs 
Parents dont take the time to monitor their kids music 
When most of the lyircs are, explicitly abusive 
Your Son`s got dirty clothes 
Why you sittin on low pros 
Sendin him to school with ragidy hair 
That`s a no-no 
They need to be playin with yo-yo`s instead of bullets 
Cause kids these days ain`t got enough sense not to pull it 
They hear it on cd`s, they see it on TV 
In doesn`t go in one year and out the other believe me 
You need to read to your kids and be with your kids, you need to listen to 
your kids and feed your kids 
You need to love your kids and provide for your kids 
You need to make them know you would die for your kids 
Yo, I feel that kids look up to us as role-models 
So we gotta give them somethin positive to follow 
So this is for the kids runnin in the streets at night 
And for those skippin class when they know it ain`t right 
There`s too much bad hype bout black and white 
And kids gotta go through life with negative stereotypes 
All white kids ain`t devils 
All black kids ain`t thugs 
All white kids aren`t in the colt 
All black kids don`t sell drugs 
Some do but that`s just the way things are 
But you can make a difference wheter near or far 
From Tuttle to Marseat 
From Sheridan to Kenwood 
From the kids on Lowry, all the way down to Glenwood 
From my hood, to your hood, to people everywhere 
The Prophets here to show you we care 
Ya heard me 
 
[Chorus]
