qubik - in the street lyrics

[intro: qubik]

kids are dyin. in the street. but they’re tryin. to retreat. yeah. d+mn. look

[chorus: qubik]

kids are dyin
in the street
but they’re tryin
to retreat
cause they’re tired
of deceit
and this thin ice
that we’ve placed beneath their feet

[verse 1: qubik]

we live in a society
that’s known to cause anxiety
and you can’t maintain sobriety
oh no
now tell me
would you survive?
if your problems only multiplied
so you start to rob
till your 82
and you’re diane
like a poltergeist
i’m a firm believer in individuals
having control over their lives
but how do you expect us to persevere
when the world is run by them guys
who know nothing?
but say they know
but we tell em no
and they never get the point
so let’s let em know
they can’t tell us no
after listening to this joint
it’s explicit
so my thesis you cannot miss it
i’m on a mission
for the children
gonna make their mind start switchin
on both sides
so hold tight
it’s a cold night at home
and this kid is all alone
when suddenly the door opens
it’s an intruder he is not hoping
cause he’s coping
with past occurances
he just needs reassurance is all

[chorus: qubik]

kids are dyin
in the street
but they’re tryin
to retreat
cause they’re tired
of deceit
and this thin ice
that we’ve placed beneath their feet

[verse 2: qubik]

to continue the story
he found his mom like dory
intoxicated
as if she was inaugurated in the alcohol of fame
and if he tries to speak up
there will be bruises all across his d+mn face
so he goes to school
tryna act so cool
cause if not
he’s gonna get shot
by a person like him
that doesn’t like him
cause he has guts
cause he has brains
to not be the same
so he conforms
so he feels like he’s safe
and he’s gettin bad grades
but he doesn’t care
he is running away from his problems
he thinks he cannot solve em
but he can
he just needs to try harder
but he can’t think rationally
when bein taught by people
who think they’re smarter, than him
if he knew back then what he knows right now
he’d be better than he’s ever been
but he can’t let the devil in
he better settle in
cause it ain’t gonna change
people like to stay the same
he doesn’t realise
that he is a part
of their little game

[chorus: qubik]

kids are dyin
in the street
but they’re tryin
to retreat
cause they’re tired
of deceit
and this thin ice
that we’ve placed beneath their feet

[verse 3: qubik]

you see now?
what these children need now?
people now?
the world now?
i see thousands of these people cryin
but not a whole lot tryin
just a lotta defyin;
of logic and reason
just higher ups
that need appeas+m+nt
man the whole system’s egregious
but we have an opportunity for transformation
so without further hesitation;
let’s go and seize it!

[verse 4: qubik]

i put the revolution in motion
gonna execute the notion
that institutions help the hopeless
and few substitutes ever acknowledge or even try
and that’s why they do not know this
gotta fix the system
if we don’t;
there’s gonna be more children shooting at each other
and you know that they won’t miss em
got the gift of gab
you don’t have to get the gat
but since these children mad
they really think they have to
but they really don’t
they ain’t need no coke
they don’t need to prove that they tough
but that’s what they do not know
that’s why they need some parents that actually care
and teachers that actually teach
otherwise
we won’t get anywhere
now lemme break it down
we need to be taught with competent teachers
that can really relate to what the children say
and what the children need
and they need parents
that won’t dip on their massive responsibility
it’s a full circle of a lack thought process
and look at how much this lapse has caused us
the amount of people that have died
has become monstrous
overall
just take the time
to teach young minds
because if not
you better hear me right;
to learn the lesson
so many children will need to die
