Lyrics
I went to school with some redneck crackers
Right around the time 3rd Bass dropped the cactus album
But I was readin Malcolm
I changed my name in '89 cleaning parts of my brain
Like a baby nine
I took a history class serious
Front row, every day of the week, 3rd period
Fuckin with the teachers had, callin em racist
I tried to show them crackers some light, they couldn't face it
I got my diploma from a school called Rickers
Full of, teenage mothers, and drug dealin niggas
In the hallways, the popo was always present
Searchin through niggas possessions
Lookin for, dope and weapons, get your lessons
That's why my moms kept stressin
I tried to pay attention but they classes wasn't interestin
They seemed to only glorify the Europeans
Claimin Africans were only three-fifths a human being
They schools can't teach us shit
My people need freedom
We tryin to get all we can get
All my high school teachers can suck my dick
Tellin me white man lies straight bullshit
They schools can't teach us shit
My people need freedom
We tryin to get all we can get
All my high school teachers can suck my dick
Tellin me white man lies straight bullshit
They schools ain't teachin us
What we need to know to survive
They schools don't educate
All they teach the people is lies
School is like a 12 step brainwash camp
They make you think if you drop out you ain't got a chance
To advance in life, they try to make you pull your pants up
Students fight the teachers and get took away in handcuffs
And if that wasn't enough, then they expel y'all
Your peoples understand it but to them, you a failure
Observation and participation, my favorite teachers
When they beat us in the head with them books, it don't reach us
Whether you breakdance or rock suede Adidas
Or be in the bathroom with your clique, smoking reefer
Then you know they math class ain't important 'less you adding up cash
In multiples, unemployment ain't rewardin'
They may as well teach us extortion
You either get paid or locked up, the principal is like a warden
In a four year sentence, mad niggas never finish
But that doesn't mean I couldn't be a doctor or a dentist
They schools can't teach us shit
My people need freedom
We tryin to get all we can get
All my high school teachers can suck my dick
Tellin me white man lies straight bullshit
They schools can't teach us shit
My people need freedom
We tryin to get all we can get
All my high school teachers can suck my dick
Cover lies straight bullshit
Straight bullshit!
Straight bullshit!
Straight bullshit!
Straight bullshit!
Straight bullshit!
They schools ain't teachin us
What we need to know to survive
They schools don't educate
All they teach the people is lies
They schools ain't teachin us
What we need to know to survive
They schools don't educate
All they teach the people is lies
They schools ain't teachin us
What we need to know to survive
They schools don't educate
All they teach the people is lies
They schools ain't teachin us
What we need to know to survive
They schools don't educate
All they teach the people is lies
