What Happened To The Kids Lyrics - Tory Lanez

[Verse 1] 

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 Jehova 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

[Verse 2] 

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
