PROTECT THE YOUTH Chara (remix) | Official Music

[Verse 1]:
They’re barely learnin’ who they are, still trippin’ over dreams,
Still ridin’ bikes on sidewalks, still believin’ they can be anything.
But the streets got open arms and poison in their hands,
Tryna sell ‘em fake love, tell ‘em “this’ll make you a man.”
Bottles on the counter, needles in the dark,
Colors turn to coffins when you push ‘em into gangs from the start.
They don’t need your shortcuts, don’t need numb in their veins,
They need a future, not a cell, not a grave with a name.

[Pre-Chorus]:
They’re listenin’, even when they don’t say a word,
Watchin’ every move, yeah, they’re learnin’ what they heard.
If we fail ‘em now, that blood is on our hands,
So stand up, say it loud—this ends where we stand.

[Chorus]:
Hands off our kids, keep the poison away,
They don’t need drugs just to deal with the pain.
Hands off our kids, no bottles, no chains,
No gangs, no violence, no scars from your games.
Protect the youth, let ‘em grow, let ‘em live,
They deserve more than the hell that you give.
Hands off our kids—this world better listen,
We’re drawin’ the line, yeah, this is the mission.

[Verse 2]:
They shouldn’t have to fear walkin’ home at night,
Or worry ‘bout their body not bein’ theirs by right.
Silence kills louder than a loaded gun,
When victims feel ashamed and the guilty get to run.
They need safe homes, safe schools, safe streets,
Not trauma they carry every time they try to sleep.
Every child matters, every voice is real,
Protect ‘em like they’re yours—‘cause they feel what they feel.

[Pre-Chorus]:
They’re stronger than we think, but they shouldn’t fight alone,
It’s our job to shield ‘em, not just say “be strong.”
If we turn our backs, history repeats,
So break the cycle now—this is bigger than me.

[Chorus]:
Hands off our kids, keep the poison away,
They don’t need drugs just to deal with the pain.
Hands off our kids, no bottles, no chains,
No gangs, no violence, no scars from your games.
Protect the youth, let ‘em grow, let ‘em live,
They deserve more than the hell that you give.
Hands off our kids—this world better listen,
We’re drawin’ the line, yeah, this is the mission.

[Bridge]:
Be the voice they don’t have yet,
Be the wall when the danger gets close.
If we don’t protect the next generation,
Then tell me—what future do we really hold?

[Final Chorus / Outro]:
Hands off our kids, let ‘em laugh, let ‘em dream,
Let ‘em live a life that ain’t haunted by the things we’ve seen.
Hands off our kids, this ain’t up for debate,
Their lives are not your profit, your thrill, or your hate.
Protect the youth—yeah, that’s the truth,
A better world starts with how we treat the youth.
