When he rises in the early morning Clears his yawning and feels the need to exercise Has to get out and do something If nothing, but running, with or without his guys Before he hits the door, he hits the kitchen He’s trippin because the food pickins are so poor He eats sugary filled milk surrounding processed Filth but needs fresh fruit surmounting his health But, daddy’s still gone, momma still young And grandma’s singing that same ‘ol song like something’s wrong Yeah, they’re all around him, but when he does wrong No one grounds him and when he strives, no one grounds him He’s By himself reminded by his shelf Filled with cookies and snacks that he has shotty health He laces his kicks up, grabs his bag Swallows the morning air and gags, it’s such a drag Walks to school surpasses play grounds That are shut down so he can’t even play now We need that campaign played out Cause kids need hope and change now But it’s not just up to politicians or up to kids It’s up to all of us to give kids a love to live They want it; I see it in their eyes They want it; but it is so hard to thrive How hard can it be, dog, it’s that hard When no one around you seems to be trying at all Drama so close can’t even play in my back yard In this game of life I always get these bad calls But adults are like refs calling the shots Let’s give kids what they need: a ball and a plot Of land that’s clean with slides and swings Police nearby so when hoodlums let shots ring Justice gets served, land gets returned To the peacemakers, kids who love to take turns Let us take turns cleaning up Playgrounds are in need of some tweaking, weeding up Through the cracks the grass grows high reach up, cut glass falls from the sky Idle hands only deprive, enough we this, we that, its time that We Thrive.
