Help The Children Lyrics - Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'em - Mc Hammer

(Help them. Help our children. Help them. Help our children) 

Will you let them be? (Help the children) 

Will you help the children live to see... (Help the children) 

A generation's trying (bombs and crack) 

Oh, how we're dying 

(Dance, help them) 

Will you let them be? (Help the children) 

Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) 

A better day is coming (we need love) 

To keep our lives going 

Life is here and then it's gone 

And what seems right can be oh-so wrong 

Let's protect, and not molest, a young girl 

And help them live to see, this world 

Clearly, as it is 

And pray for the mother with kids (kids) 

Who's lost control, but not her soul 

Many kids will die before they're 20 years old 

Will you let them be? (Help our children) 

Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) 

A generation's trying (bombs and crack) 

Oh, how we're dying 

(Dance, help them) 

Will you let them be? (Help the children) 

Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) 

A better day is coming (we need love) 

To keep our lives going 

Pops (pops) where in the world have you gone 

I see Momma (momma) by the telephone 

Waiting (waiting) but you don't call 

Tears on her face and I see them fall 

It hurts (hurts) but will go on 

You're just another brother who's left his home 

And family (family), yeah we cry, 

Momma says she love you and I don't even know why (why why why) 

Will you let them be? (Why? Help them. Help our children) 

Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) 

A generation's trying (bombs and crack) 

Oh, how we're dying 

(Dance, help them) 

Will you let them be? (Help the children) 

Will you help the children live to see,(Help the children) 

A better day is coming (we need love) 

To keep our lives going 

Money and death, the lie, the truth 

A dime bag of crack, the end of you 

Black and white, a constant fight 

Years and years, and day and night 

There was a right, I've got to stand 

To make a better way for a young black man 

In a land (a land) where the people smile 

Been holding me back for such a long while (while, while, wow, while) 

Will you let them be? (Help our children) 

Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) 

A generation's trying (bombs and crack) 

Oh, how we're dying 

(Dance, help them) 

Will you let them be? (Help the children) 

Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) 

A better day is coming (we need love) 

To keep our lives going 

Help them, will you let them be? 

Children (children) don't be fooled 

And learn about the way that man was ruled 

This country (country) where we live 

And read about the sixties and what they did 

So that we (we) won't forget 

And love one another and give respect 

When I see (see) a man who's old 

A woman who's grey, it touches my soul 

Because I know (know) they paved the way 

So we could be here and live this way 

There was a time (time) not long ago 

When in the-front-of-the-bus into the back I had to go 

It appears (it appears) that things have changed 

Maybe it's in the method but it's still the same game (game, game, game, game, game, game) 

Will you let them be? (Help our children) 

Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) 

A generation's trying (bombs and crack) 

Oh, how we're dying 

(Dance, help them) 

Will you let them be!
