[Big Jess talking]

Yeah, this one right here...this for the kids...this is for all kids...

city kids, suburban kids, rich kids, poor kids, messy kids, clean kids

It don't matter; man the kids is our future, people need to start waking up...

And realize what's really going on

Cause everything ain't all good, it's really not

So we just gonna do this for the kids right now

And dedicate this to ya'll - Unknown Prophets style baby



[Mad Sun]

To all the shorties who decided their favorite emcee's rhymes

And girls playin double doutch in the summer time

I'm lookin at your childhood

Reminicing on mine

Yo it's funny how things can change throughout time

Now your online sendin out e-m's to your friends

Little Cats rockin today's latest trends

In the schoolyard, tradin your pokemon cards

Everyone tryin to cop the ol' charizard

Promos and holographics

Dreamcast, videogames with the illest graphics

Basketball practice

Your Allison's the future Jordan's

Saturday's wakin up to catch cartoons in the mornings

Yo I know it's boring, sometimes your sittin in class

Other days your straight clowin makin everyone laugh

Passin notes to that girl that's got a crush on you

Your like, "Yo girl, I like ya too."

For all the kids in the Burbs

And all the kids in the City

Hangin with your crew

Actin mad silly

Chase all your dreams till you make them reality

Respect yourself, your peers and your family

For all the kids strugglin'

Keep your head up

Brighter days are ahead

The rain will soon let up

And when your fed up, ready to call it quits

Remember we all go through rough times

Even the Prophets

So this if for them kids at New Vision School, Bottnem Park yo in Harlem too

To all the little rascals across the Map

Peace from the Prophets

No matter where you at



[Chorus]

This is for them kids who lact respect

And this is for them kids with the well paid checks

This if for them kids who get good grades

And this if for them kids just tryin to get paid

This if for them kids who stay in school

And this is for them kids who wanna "act da fool"

This is for all kids, whether good or bad, big or small, we still got love

for ya'll.



[Big Jess]

I see some of the kids on my bus

They probed to cuss

It's like they headed straight to jail to be thrown in cuffs

Parents dont take the time to monitor their kids music

When most of the lyircs are, explicitly abusive

Your Son's got dirty clothes

Why you sittin on low pros

Sendin him to school with ragidy hair

That's a no-no

They need to be playin with yo-yo's instead of bullets

Cause kids these days ain't got enough sense not to pull it

They hear it on cd's, they see it on TV

In doesn't go in one year and out the other believe me

You need to read to your kids and be with your kids, you need to listen to

your kids and feed your kids

You need to love your kids and provide for your kids

You need to make them know you would die for your kids

Yo, I feel that kids look up to us as role-models

So we gotta give them somethin positive to follow

So this is for the kids runnin in the streets at night

And for those skippin class when they know it ain't right

There's too much bad hype bout black and white

And kids gotta go through life with negative stereotypes

All white kids ain't devils

All black kids ain't thugs

All white kids aren't in the colt

All black kids don't sell drugs

Some do but that's just the way things are

But you can make a difference wheter near or far

From Tuttle to Marseat

From Sheridan to Kenwood

From the kids on Lowry, all the way down to Glenwood

From my hood, to your hood, to people everywhere

The Prophets here to show you we care

Ya heard me



[Chorus]
