Lyrics:

Yeah, this song right here is for all the kids out in Haiti that lost everything. They still got hope though. I know that, kid. But they ain't going to take them. They're going to be there. They're going to grow. And I'm going to be there right with them.

Verse 1
I first got word from the front page of the newspaper
Dust covered his face, looked like doomsday
Then I felt torn, so I soon prayed
Asked the Lord to keep His hands on them past Tuesday
Hearts torn, buildings are worn
They never were warned, but had to weather the storm
Family was right there, next day they were gone
But God's love is close, and His healing is warm
Buried beneath buildings, men, women, and children
Been sending them millions to help them with their healing
I can't even imagine just how they're feeling
They need a helping hand from everyone that's willing
Even though their buildings was weak, I know their hearts strong
And their marts gone, but they march on
The hurting will end soon even though the start's long
Stay united as a whole even though some parts gone

Chorus
I hold hands with them, so they can know I feel them
You got the heart to heal them, and you will stand with them
A small voice whispers, I know it's hope I'm hearing
The finish seems far, but the start is nearing
They can't take them from us, they can't take them from us
They can't take them from us, they can't take them from us
They can't take them from us, they can't take them from us
They can't take my children

Verse 2
They scoop them up in a bunch, or might just put them in the trunk
Or just trick them, and say they got food for lunch
But they are fools for much because jewels will rust
Sold their soul and broke every tool of trust
Then they ship them out the country and all because of money
And all because they want the cars, clothes, and the honeys
It got my eyes watered, and my nose runny
I'm going to do all I can to make sure they don't take them from me
Holding their hurt inside because momma and pops had died
They sitting and thinking why? and wonder when they're going to rise
Because these are telling times, and I ain't telling lies
They just bury their friends, and then they tell them bye
No forced work, no metal chains
I hear freedom speak, kid let it ring
And if your eyes is dry, kid let it rain
Until I know all the children safe I ain't settling

Chorus
I hold hands with them, so they can know I feel them
You got the heart to heal them, and you will stand with them
A small voice whispers, I know it's hope I'm hearing
The finish seems far, but the start is nearing
They can't take them from us, they can't take them from us
They can't take them from us, they can't take them from us
They can't take them from us, they can't take them from us
They can't take my children

Verse 3
So they just bury their own graves, enslaved in their own trade
Trusting, until one of their own trade them
And I pray that kids don't have a lone fate
And I'm going to sing this song until the day there are no slaves
I am not a perfect man, but I'm here to take a stand
And I'm here to take their hand far away from hating land
Because this is Haitian land, spirits high, patience staying
And we should lead all their kids to grace's hand
Kids should be in school and not working for man
And not working but playing, and not hurting their hands
Their bosses should let them free is what I'm praying
Is a child's soul worth a couple grand?
When I'm broken it feels like all my feelings sit funny
My motto is 'save the kids,' it ain't 'get money'
I know God sees everything you hid from me
I love them, so they can't take the kids from me

this song is so sick and ilike the beat its tight

[bitmp44]

sound at the beginning is real cool, but the bell sound throughout the song takes away from the song. I like your lyrics, but I would like to hear different beats.

Very haunting.

[combustible420]

Good looks on the invite, life's w/out a friend list, and I do the same, not to hate, just lost. Efriends just don't do it for this one. Keep rapping though my dude, liking what I'm hearing. Reality knows most can't rap forever, so they leave it to the birds. 03:30 and they ready to get it chirping. Copy a dictionary if you really seeking to up the word bank. The amount of noise one can amass is astounding and at times confounding. The hardest lesson will be that life should've been a science...

[combustible420]

yet we allowed gov't to turn it to science fiction. Money is time, so I'm just trying to stack a good time. If you are looking for any sort of unION, one should look to ambidexterity for the door to one's inner being. To draw, is to perceive. Perception was never a skill, it's been a necessity since day one. Big ups to the cavemen/women who got the ball on the roll. Before one dies, epitomize through reiteration the contours and delineations of the thing they taught one to believe as a face. !?$

I'm hella feelin this beat
