Kevin Gates – Protect Children Lyrics

Protect Children Lyrics

Every parent’s worse fear to hear something happen to what they love dear
Product of your surroundings make you feel like ain’t no love here
Every parent’s worse fear to hear something happen to what they love dear
Product of your surroundings make you feel like ain’t no love here

I treat your kids like my kids, like my birth children
When we was little they used to say we was the worst children
We all been through things, it’s not our fault, you got to work with them
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children
We all been through things, it’s not our fault, you got to work with them
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children

Asking uptown bees, “You ever thought we would be killers when we was young?”
Fighting over crumbs and slums develop infatuation for guns
Secret safe with me ’cause you was present when it got done
Inhaling cancer causing product wrappers in my lungs
Volatile environment, lot of violence, we got numb
Willing to put you on a t-shirt just for asking where I’m from
We still outside playing, although the street light just came on
Posted in the trenches while I exercise my phone

I treat your kids like my kids, like my birth children
When we was little they used to say we was the worst children
We all been through things, it’s not our fault, you got to work with them
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children
We all been through things, it’s not our fault, you got to work with them
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children

Every parent’s worse fear to hear something happen to what they love dear
Product of your surroundings make you feel like ain’t no love here
Who I trust still, swear of God I miss my grandmother
Got to touch M’s move my fam keep my hand covered
In the pandemic I ain’t panic kept the set coming
Provider for some households I prefer not to mention
What’s the use of some expense when who you love can’t see you winning?
Think about how much I miss you every time I crank the engine

I treat your kids like my kids, like my birth children
When we was little they used to say we was the worst children
We all been through things, it’s not our fault, you got to work with them
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children
For real
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children
We all been through things, it’s not our fault, you got to work with them
Protect children, you not supposed to hurt children
