What Happened To The Kids lyrics - Tory Lanez

 What happened to the kids?

A bunch of fucked up shit that happened where we lived (Uh)

Niggas braggin' and pro backing it at the crib, yeah

I was throwin' blows, toe taggin' it at the crib, yeah

Fightin' niggas older than me

My older brother said he won't defend me

I'm like, "Fuck it, nigga, don't defend me"

I know the Lord sent me

I sense Jehovah in me every time my soul is empty

I know the devil on my shoulder heavy

But the Lord'll always have some soldiers ready

I've exposed how deadly this war can get already

Mind, body, flesh, and my flesh

I know the heavens and the hells

Is both fightin' for my soul when I rest

I got these tightened up holes in my chest

They feel cold in my vest

And still, I pray my son'll grow in my steps

So he can get that same feelin' at night

And know his life got a purpose

And he ain't gotta pop a pill in his life

Ain't gotta hit them corners, chillin' wit' them killers at night

Like I did, and make mistakes that I did, tryna provide for my kid

I can't let him just rumble through all of the fumble that I did

'Cause I slid, so many times on all of these niggas I just can't (Uh)

Let his life fall into shambles, know this, life is all a gamble

But we bettin' from this angle, nigga

I'm tryna teach my brothers 'bout the dangers, nigga

Cold world, I'm tryna make some fuckin' changes, nigga

Give us somethin' that's gon' change us, nigga

Positive conversations when niggas angry, nigga

Instead of throwin' us in cages, nigga

Section 8, they got us livin' by these wages, nigga

Stop treatin' us like we dangerous, nigga

And maybe we'll stop bein' so dangerous, nigga

A lot of niggas out here stainin' niggas

If he your color, he your brother, you can't hate this nigga


Self-hatred what they taught us (Uh)

And look at all the shit it brought us

Mothers, daughters, sons, and sisters all in coffins

And what we got to show? Somebody that's recordin', nigga

Mental illness at an all-time high

We so caught up in the 'Gram, tryna be all-time fly

So much, you can't even show up in the same clothes

Somebody always lurkin', they clockin' your same pose

Callin' all women hoes, you know how the sayin' goes

Everywhere I go, I see the same hoes

But that's the same shit I'm sayin' don't save souls

Am I a hypocrite for sayin' them same roles?

I'm tryna change life, change mines, and change yours

But bitch, I'm only human, I fall in the same toes sometimes
