gradient - children lyrics

drich:

aight, kids, they’re
laughin’ and callin’, slippin’ and fallin’, got that
devil-may-care laid-back kind of air
runnin back to momma at the end of the day
shirt and hands, they’re brown, but her hair, that’s grey

kids, they so relaxed, take things easy like a burglar
mom cutting the gr-ss, call that nature vs. nurture
outside, a paradise, nightime, catchin’ fireflies
inside, bakin cookies and makin memories

mom asks ‘who took the cookies’? my palms get sweaty
said ‘um, daddy did it’ but i was lyin’ like serengeti
at school: columbus discovered america
white van with candy? h-ll yeah, sign me up

when i grow up, be whatever i want to be
firefighter, astronaut, soldier across the sea
die for my country, make everybody proud of me
can’t wait till i see what they see, i lived free

rayjay:

but while they on the street playin’; they should be prayin’
cuz they need to eat somethin’, and the sky don’t rain bread;
even when the sun shines, it feels like it’s pouring
doubt and fear falling down from the sky like it’s storming

triads in chinatown, famine in jamestown
corruption in capetown, ebola in yo town
peaceful protests muted, good men persecuted
all yo friends jumpsuited, freedom executed

it’s an inconvenient truth that sea levels are rising
media makin bank by sensationalizing
i’m a riot in the sheets like there’s riots in middle east
hey, kid, you want peace? stay off the streets

mom’s dead covered in red, no one home dad has fled;
aids has ruined grandma, grandpa gets called a pill head
tied down by suffering and paralyzed by fear
can’t wake up from a nightmare when you’re already here

apot:

so the world’s not great, with that i’ll agree
but you can’t just wait, can’t just sit and concede
cause at any rate, it’s not just fate
don’t lie in wait, you must dictate
how life goes, how life is lived
don’t give up, if you’re just a kid

problems have solutions
just need resolution
there’s no perfect operation
but the worst thing’s resignation
be your inspiration
keep that dedication
don’t quit your aspirations
be the hope of your generation

when you look and see an issue, gotta get up and fight it
you gotta change the world, not just the climate
put an end to global warming, man just tear it apart
because the only warm thing should be the warmth in your heart
not the fire of your hatred, keep a happy att-tude
you should never say never, only the sith use absolutes
so sit up and smile, there’s no need to be glum
when you believe in yourself, you can always overcome
