These kids trapped in a struggle and 
No where to head at night,
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting 
And nobody knows the suffering they go through 
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you 

Trapped in a struggle and 
No where to head at night,
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting 
And nobody knows the suffering they go through 
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you 

So many songs, so many times 
The world had to hear so many rhymes 
About our life is for strugglers 
Minority groups, kids with single mothers 
Young homies turn hustlers, killing for money 
It's kinda funny how the crime rate is so high 
In suburbs where family ties are low, 'n suicides on the rise 

Oh why, so many die coz in their eyes 
The mistake they made, cant be erased the only way out is to take their life 
And if they dont do it sudden then they'll do it slowly 
Polluting themselves with drugs, because they on this world lonely 
So we as a nation just class 'em as a waste of space 
And if they don't help the economy they strip 'em naked 
Put 'em on the streets 'n make sure the police hate 'em 
And feed the public phony information on the evening news 

Youths may bomb police stations, to get at the boys in blue 
This song goes out to the whole justice system 
Instead of listening to the kids with the problems 
They just tick them off more 
Until the kids in prison or hes dead before his twenty four 

These kids trapped in a struggle and 
No where to head at night,
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting 
And nobody knows the suffering they go through 
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you 

Trapped in a struggle and
No where to head at night,
head full of trouble is, all that they're gettin'
and nobody knows the sufferin' they go through
and you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you.

You probably heard the news about the 14 year old kid 
Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit 
What you'll expect in, the situation that he was facing 
With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted 
But the mistake he made was fatal 
What about my mate who put a rope around his neck 
But he choked to death instead coz the fall never broke his neck 
See both of them, were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend 
The younger was in need of weed, the other had problems with his head 
Now they're both dead, and the same thing happens time 'n time again 
Kids dying all the time 'n leave us asking why my friend 
And then there is those who run away from home 
Live on the streets 'n chrome 
Can't deal with tha pain of the world so they get stoned 
Sit in a zone, become known as the local drones 
With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans 
And nobody knows they came from broken homes 
Plus to us they're just emotionless clones 
And the pain plagues their brains they can't maintain healthy lives 
Change is all but easy, a life of crime is all but nice 
Plus life isnt worth living unless ya given the chance to fight 
Drugs might not be the answer, but who knows wrong from right 
When ya parents drinks whole bottles 
Of wine, 'n puts the hose in the coke bottle, 
A lot of the time, kids dont know any different 
It's like they losing their minds, cant get a hold of their visions 
Think they're doing just fine, but they still in the struggle 
Yeah the kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble 
If you in trouble, jump over that puddle 
Some where out there someone really loves you 
Loves you like you never been loved, yeah 
Loves you like you've never been loved 

trapped in a struggle and 
No where to head at night, 
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting 
And nobody knows  
nobody knows.

These kids trapped in a struggle and 
No where to head at night, 
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting 
And nobody knows the suffering they go through 
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you.

trapped in a struggle and 
No where to head at night, 
A head full of trouble is all that they're getting 
And nobody knows the suffering they go through 
And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you.
