1st verse Yo, lets save the children Cause theyre too young to be dying And in the city mothers are crying For kids that are taken away so young And its no fun to see the death of another one Another kids life ended Another funeral for a young child I attended So lets stop the killing, the premature deaths And the number of graves being filled in Back in the days outside we could play But you gotta keep the kids indoors nowadays Cause it aint safe to go play in a park Leave em unattended and thats when the killing start Kids dying in gun smoke And in the city we live the people gotta have some hope So in the 90s we gotta start building Yo,lets save the children 2nd verse Little kids being sodomized And in the city this year youre gonna hear a lot of cries Of young babies that are born addicted A girl dies from the wounds inflicted By her stepfather but no one heard her holla And if they did, the cowards didnt want to bother Another baby abandoned,just left on the street Cause the mother couldnt stand him My friends baby was stolen And he would give anything in the world just to hold him The baby was sold like a slave from the past Cause people do anything to make a little cash I see poor kids going hungry Cause their crackhead mom buys drugs with the money And many little children are homeless You see em roaming the streets looking like skin and bones Its a sad sight to see in your neighborhood Young girls sell their bodies cause the pay is good How many times have you seen on the news A child is killed and the cops dont have a clue One day it could be your own When you worry about something,your child is unknown So people,lets get it together But you gotta be willing to help save the children
