Protect the Child ft. FVNTVNV Lyrics

A message that mommies and daddies can adore

We nominees hoping for Academy Awards

Stay calm and collected through all the daily

Theatrics

Sticking to my script, updated my tactics

Talking back, you don't know the half of my origins

Need Abrahams, my Benjamins, my Jacksons, and my Georges

Snapshot of a Midwest sunset, oh so gorgeous

Transfixed by mixes, orange, purple, and pinkish

Twinkle in my eye when I'm blinkin', I'm tryna keep it

Self-made, been gettin' paid, but that really ain't no secret

Flashback to roaming with my homies that I linked with

Outsiders lookin' in, be quick to think we delinquents

Out of our control, grow and learn to relinquish

That's a beautiful sequence

Prep for the times coming

Do you want it more than bad, or just sorta kinda want it?

What if the edge of a cliff decide to fly a plummet

Some say stray from your goal, couldn't obey what they told us

I'd rather play with Crayolas

October, baby, brought in the middle of autumn

Soberly sharing his thoughts, plenty of things that it's taught em

Self-image distorted, words all out of assortment

Toy with your life and destroy it, sounds like borderline torture

What if the world's your oyster? Sailing on an ocean boat

See it through for lil' me, that's a non-negotiable

Lil' ones, play the deck they handed

If allowed, tell em' what you bout now

Protect the child, tryna make ya

This one's courtesy of Fvntvnv

Lil' ones, play the deck they handed

If allowed, tell em' what you bout now

Protect the child, tryna make ya proud
