Gary Clark Jr - What About The Children Feat Stevie Wonder Lyrics

What about the children
Playin' in the streets
Dreaming of that good life
No shoes on their feet?

Where is their mama, where is their daddy?
They need some badly
We all agree, yeah
We can all agree, yeah, huh

It doesn't matter when life is shattered
To honest people like you, yeah
Honest people like you, yeah
Mm, what about that good girl

Workin' on the street
Giving up that good, good
So her babies can eat?
Tell me, what would you do if you were in her shoes?

It wasn't her dream, we all agree
Yes, we all agree, yeah
Ah, it really doesn't matter when life is shattered
To honest people like you, yeah

Honest people like you, yeah
(You know what we're talkin' about)
What about the children?
Life ain't what it seems

What about the children?
All their broken dreams
Everyday's a struggle
Life just not a dream

No one gives a damn (come on)
Makes a mother scream, oh-oh, yeah, yeah-yeah
Make your woman scream
What about that good man

Locked up from the streets
Trying to make a dollar
To put shoes on his baby's feet, now?
Their mama's working from time to service

They need somebody, we all agree now, yeah
We can all agree, yeah, yeah
Well, it doesn't matter when life is shattered
To honest people like you
Honest people like you, yeah, oh

What about them babies?
What about the children?
What about the little, don't somebody care?
Why are you so heartless?
Why do you not care? (Why don't you've children?)

Don't you love the babies?
What about the babies?
What about the homeless?
What about the stabbing?
Why are you so heartless?
Why do you not care?
If you want the children

You have got to care
I can't take it no more, ooh
(What about the children?)
We not playin', y'all
