Lyrics (All written by Lauren Tate)
What About The Kids
Daddy I drew pictures in the sand, tell me they look pretty hold my hand
and did you see I drew them with my hands?
Daddy take my picture like I planned
Daddy watch me fly my aeroplane
go on say you like it once again
come on take my picture it can go so high
Daddy I was happy as a child
She stares at her reflection, she’s shaking
she had her chance she blew it
Daddy said I could be anything, I know I can if I can put my mind to it
I could be choking on blood on the floor, I could be holding my mother no more
I could be pulling the trigger or taking the blow most of the time it’s the kids you don’t know
So Daddy tell me what, tell me what would you do?
if the person with the trigger put a bullet in you?
you hear the kids don't wanna dream no more there too scared to choose
I think we gonna change the system now theres no time to loose
Daddy I can swim underwater now
watch me jump of the side for the hundredth time
and don’t for a minute look away or you’ll miss the splash
daddy when I'm older ill make you proud
it’s been 5 weeks since that day and everybody's hating each-other
they’re looking for reasons that she might have done it
they’re blaming her mother and accusing her father
they tried to pin blame on video games, pin blame on rock and rap
but maybe having a gun at your fingertips might make you react?
So Daddy tell me what, tell me what do I do when a kid can get a gun and bring it right into school?
And most the kids don’t wanna play no more there too scared to move!
I think the problems the gun Daddy I know you’ve got one too…
Daddy I’ve been shot with a real gun
not like in our games that we made for fun
and I saw that gun looked a lot like your one
the one you said would always protect us
What about the kids? What about the youth?
Daddy I’ve been shot with a real gun
not like in our games that we played for fun
that gun looked a lot like your one
the one you said would always protect us

I love you so much, Lauren. These lyrics hit harder than anything I've ever heard before, which means a lot because my music taste is wider than most.
awww man thank u
💘
Aside from the obvious without seeing her and only hearing: the unique, monstrous, beautifully enchanting, versatile, smooth, rough voice just to name a few that I love beyond expressing, but I also really want to KNOW this woman! Soo so so beautiful, sexy and cute. Each one of those are all a different category and she fits all 3 which is also very unique.!
I wish you all the success that you rightfully deserve. And I like your art! 🙂
I like this one
This one is really, really good!
Awesome! Cantas genial :)

Wow Lauren ! Your even a great rapper ! This was a beautiful song and video . Is there anything musical that you can’t do ? I knew you had mad skills when you were doing covers at 13 or 14 I think . I feel followed you since and have seen my opinion was spot on . You are todays times most talented artist in my opinion !
Relavint
I like to see a live version just a comment. Thanks
I tracked your evolution, solo or with your band, for a year. I think I have to say first: All my respect!
Lauren Tate your are so pretty
Awesome! How do you feel about solo work compared to being in a band?
You are way pretty. 😍
Is this on Spotify?!
guau! cantas hermoso y tu estas preciosa.
I love the message behind this and I love how much work you put into your art

This is so so good Lauren. The lyrics are amazing and deliver such a powerful and meaningful message. I can just imagine this as a music track to an emotionally charged segment on a TV show or film. You really are one of the most honest and creative young writers around.
I miss the raw and bloody footage of sprees that they used to show. The leak from exit wounds has an interesting flow compared to other critical wounds.
I first had to let the lyrics sink in before I could really watch your video.
You're a genius !
What about the kids indeed !.
💕
Lauren. I went and seen the Whole lot of love video. To say its not out of this world is an understatement the only solid criticism I would give so that you maintain treated a serious force is less of the theatrics with your cross eyes thing. Its funny and all but the theatrics used when you say I wanna be your back door man makes sense with what your saying into the mic. The other eye ball routines on such a sexual song counter balance the public being able to truly get lost inside your ability to make us travel with you. And that after all young lady is the definition us music.
;)
See: Lauren, I've been following you since your first covers. You and me know you are just like a bomb, and better than most of the artist out there.
However, if you want to accept an advice from a single amateur musician: Don't let be manipulated. You're not a rapper or a trapper. You don't have to hide your incredible voice. You don't have to hide overdriven guitars. I know in 2019 rock means nothing, but there's still people that love it as a cultural movement and a way of life.
You are an artist. A real artist. Just prove it. Choose only the influences that make you shine and don't let the tendences speak for you, because you're much higher from them. It doesn't matter if your audience is made of 30 or 30K listeners. The only thing that matters is you are one of the best performers I've ever heard, and I'm not 13 years old :)
If only I had had your incredible talent in my band...
Keep on rockin, girl!.
Víctor Manuel I second this. Cause u know what? Artists DO choose their audience, not the other way around. Don’t bend. Ascend.
WOW! Brilliant yet again lauren, well done. Such a meaningful song👍
Thanks so much dude!!! XX
I'm very impressed with your new songs. They have such a wonderful and deep meaning. Thank you for this, honestly 🖤
Thanks so much!
Superb lyrics presenting a huge message. And the switch in vocal style really hammers home the emotion. Love it Lauren. Best solo song yet for me.
Eminem side of Lauren 😍
For real. That rap caught me off guard. I usually hate white rappers too.
Love it .. Great message
Thanks so much Julia xx
Oh Damn, that should be the hymn for the "March for our lives" campaign... It's just breathtaking, honestly Lauren, how do you manage it to blow my mind everytime you release a new song?!
I checked your ten years evolution and wow your voice is amazing. Keep rockin' sister!
On my channel I have a track called "God is gone" that is in instrumental and another version where I tried my non-voice.
If you would sing something on the track I can send you the text :-)
