HEAR THE CRIES OF THE CHILDREN
Clean the wax out your dirty ears and listen/
To the screams that cut the air on a Mission/
To hit the hearts of the immature ones/
Every child needs love so give us some/
Alleviate our hunger and our terror vision/
Annihilate the greed that cause our mission/
How can you sleep and leave us without ambition/
Then captivate us for wrong decisions/
Why must you riff when we represent the hood/?
You are the one that lead us to no good/
Left the corner to be our home and playgrounds/
This is where we meet our family that comes around/
It's not our deeds that are dangerous to society/
It’s your method of teaching and the setup/
Why don't you enter their secret world of deceit/?
For every lost child in poverty, you'll find a receipt/

This is the way of survival/
Cause there is no living/
The shadows are our demons/
Grabbin minds, drilling lies and terror/
You say good, we’ll leave the streets alone/
You lead us hear, by ignoring responsibilities at home/
The abuse, the pain you freely gave/
Is the result of you denying you’re still a slave/?
If you love us, you'll face it and set us free/
Emancipated slaves they say, so they strum our misery/
They want our last breath and silent testimonies/
So we go and hide underneath society/
Our revolt became the catalyst of their misery/
Our protectors from evil shadows is mommy and daddy/
But you turned to help them make us the villains/
Freely give us to dss, have you lost your feelings/

Hear the cries of the children
Black, white, Latino, Asian, whatever child/
Suffer from the same syndrome/
Parents being slave to the economic system/
Won't take time to stand anymore/
Just to say we are the foundation of the future/
You exploit us, hold us when it suites ya/
Then wonder what went wrong when you child shoots ya/
To gain love you must give unconditionally/
Even from your womb, you must earn it/
Protect the minds of babes. Let us learn it/
Only then will we see the land of opportunities/
Everything now is nonexistent, except for depression/
Stop saying get over it, and come see these hurdle/
So you can give us true wisdom, and we can over come/
When we cry, stop calling us babies, nurture us/
Insensitivity drives us crazy and you provide prozac/

HEAR THE CRIES OF THE CHILDREN
While I'm a child and helpless protect me/
When you grow older and helpless I protect you/
If you don't teach me love, how do I love you/
If you don't teach me strength, how do I protect you/?
There's nothing complex about the basics/
Love conquers all; you lost it along the way/
Look within us and you'll find it/
Cause we are innocent until you ruin us/
I am you and you is I/
These are your tears that I cry/
My vessel is your vessel, that my soul resides in/
Help mold me to be that miracle being you see/
