They School - Dead Prez

They School LRC歌词

[00:00.00]Why haven't you learned anything?

[00:03.68]Man that school s*it is a joke

[00:07.09]The same people who control the school system control

[00:10.37]The prison system, and the whole social system

[00:14.91]Ever since slavery, naw I'm sayin?

[00:23.23]I went to school with some redneck crackers

[00:25.73]Right around the time 3rd bass dropped the cactus album

[00:28.68]But i was readin malcolm

[00:29.75]I changed my name in '** cleaning parts of my brain

[00:32.42]Like a baby nine

[00:33.74]I took a history class serious

[00:35.72]Front row, every day of the week, 3rd period

[00:38.42]F****n with the teachers had, callin em racist

[00:41.05]I tried to show them crackers some light, they couldn't face it

[00:43.61]I got my diploma from a school called rickers

[00:46.15]Full of, teenage mothers, and drug dealin ******

[00:48.73]In the hallways, the popo was always present

[00:51.09]Searchin through ****** possessions

[00:52.63]Lookin for, **** and weapons, get your lessons

[00:54.79]That's why my moms kept stressin

[00:56.27]I tried to pay attention but they classes wasn't interestin

[00:59.30]They seemed to only glorify the europeans

[01:01.57]Claimin africans were only three-fifths a human being

[01:04.24]They schools can't teach us s*it

[01:06.42]My people need freedom, we tryin to get all we can get

[02:00.92]Observation and participation, my favorite teachers

[02:03.49]When they beat us in the head with them books, it don't reach us

[02:08.68]Or be in the bathroom with your clique, smokin reefer

[02:11.32]Then you know they math class aint important 'less you addin up cash

[02:13.92]In multiples, unemployment aint rewardin

[02:16.55]They may as well teach us extortion

[02:18.59]You either get paid or locked up, the pricipal is like a warden

[02:21.56]In a four year sentence, mad ****** never finish
