[Chorus: Pharoahe Monch]
Some days and night I thank God I don't have no (Children)✦
Struggling✦ hard and it's a hassle (Children)✦
Gotta✦ teach them how to survive✦ and win (Children)✦
The whole future✦ of the world depends✦ on (Children)✦
So I talk wise and speak clearly✦ (Children)✦
But still sometimes✦ they don't hear me (Children)✦
When I open✦ my heart I catch a feeling✦ (Children)✦
Cause the kids need hope, they need healing✦
The children✦
[Verse 2: Styles P]
In the burbs, play video✦ games✦ (games)✦
Imitate wack rappers and the video✦ themes✦ (brainwashed)
Playstation, Xbox, Laptops, Desktops (damn)
I be asking✦ myself when will this mess stop (when will it stop)
Snotty✦ little niggas is too rude (too rude)
All I know is Google and YouTube is making✦ it easy✦ (shit's easy)✦
With nothing✦ realistic you can see on the TV (nothing)✦
But they call this reality show (yeah)
Something, make them gradually grow (stunting their growth)
Make them lazy,✦ it's so crazy✦ (so crazy)✦
Me I stay hazy,✦ always✦ keep a dutch steamed
Cause they ain't even✦ make it no bunge, the shit is touch screen (damn)
And they don't talk they text (huh)
LOL, WTF
And I be like damn what the fuck is next
Cause Mr. Illuminati seem to cut them checks (yeah)
[Chorus: Pharoahe Monch]
Some days and night I thank God I don't have no (Children)✦
Struggling✦ hard and it's a hassle (Children)✦
Gotta✦ teach them how to survive✦ and win (Children)✦
The whole future✦ of the world depends✦ on (Children)✦
So I talk wise and speak clearly✦ (Children)✦
But still sometimes✦ they don't hear me (Children)✦
When I open✦ my heart I catch a feeling✦ (Children)✦
Cause the kids need hope, they need healing✦
The children✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"make them gradually grow (stunting their growth)"

① The literal observation of children maturing physically over time.② The critique that digital consumption is arresting their emotional and intellectual development.

"they ain't even make it no bunge, the shit is touch screen"

① A phonetic play on 'bung' (a stopper) implying a lack of manual interaction or 'work'.② A dismissal of digital interfaces as superficial and lacking the tactile reality of physical labor.

Consistent rhythmic flow and rhyme density

Effective use of ad-libs to create a dialogue

Clear, focused thematic narrative

Occasional reliance on 'old man yelling at cloud' tropes

Limited variation in vocal intensity throughout the verse

Lack of deep metaphorical subtext beyond surface-level observations
