[00:00.00] Why haven't you learned anything?
[00:03.68] Man that school shit 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 '89 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] Fuckin 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 niggas
[00:48.73] In the hallways, the popo was always present
[00:51.09] Searchin through niggas possessions
[00:52.63] Lookin for, dope 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 shit
[01:06.42] My people need freedom, we tryin to get all we can get
[01:09.12] All my high school teachers can suck my dick
[01:11.68] Tellin me white man lies straight bullshit
[01:14.46] They schools aint teachin us, what we need to know to survive
[01:23.81] (say what, say what)
[01:24.92] They schools don't educate, all they teach the people is lies
[01:34.19] You see dog, you see how quick these motherfuckers be to like
[01:36.76] Be tellin niggas get a diploma so you can get a job
[01:39.63] Knowwhatimsayin but they don't never tell you how the job
[01:41.98] Gonna exploit you every time knowwhatimsayin that's why i be like
[01:44.82] Fuck they schools!
[01:45.75] School is like a 12 step brainwash camp
[01:47.90] They make you think if you drop out you aint got a chance
[01:50.58] To advance in life, they try to make you pull your pants up
[01:53.12] Students fight the teachers and get took away in handcuffs
[01:55.89] And if that wasn't enough, then they expel y'all
[01:58.39] Your peoples understand it but to them, you a failure
[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
[02:06.17] Whether you breakdance or rock suede addidas
[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 niggas never finish
[02:24.07] But that doesn't mean i couldn't be a doctor or a dentist
[02:26.77] They schools can't teach us shit
[02:28.97] My people need freedom, we tryin to get all we can get
[02:31.77] All my high school teachers can suck my dick
[02:34.34] Tellin me white man lies straight bullshit
[02:36.95] They schools can't teach us shit
[02:38.88] My people need freedom, we tryin to get all we can get
[02:42.04] All my high school teachers can suck my dick
[02:44.66] Tellin me white man lies straight bullshit
[02:47.22] They schools aint teachin us, what we need to know to survive
[02:56.41] (say what, say what)
[02:57.88] They schools don't educate, all they teach the people is lies
[03:09.00]
[03:40.21] Cuz for real, a mind is a terrible thing to waste
[03:43.67] And all y'all high class niggas with y'all nose up
[03:46.21] Cuz we droppin this shit on this joint, fuck y'all
[03:49.33] We gon speak for ourselves
[03:51.19] Knowhatimsayin? cuz see the schools aint teachin us nothin
[03:54.24] They aint teachin us nothin but how to be slaves and hardworkers
[03:57.67] For white people to build up they shit
[04:00.01] Make they businesses successful while it's exploitin us
[04:03.13] Knowhatimsayin? and they aint teachin us nothin related to
[04:06.23] Solvin our own problems, knowhatimsayin?
[04:08.69] Aint teachin us how to get crack out the ghetto
[04:10.39] They aint teachin us how to stop the police from murdering us
[04:13.97] And brutalizing us, they aint teachin us how to get our rent paid
[04:17.54] Knowhatimsayin? they aint teachin our families how to interact
[04:20.35] Better with each other, knowhatimsayin? they just teachin us
[04:23.71] How to build they shit up, knowhatimsayin? that's why my niggas
[04:26.34] Got a problem with this shit, that's why niggas be droppin out that
[04:29.36] Shit cuz it don't relate, you go to school the fuckin police
[04:32.02] Searchin you you walkin in your shit like this a military compound
[04:35.97] Knowhatimsayin? so school don't even relate to us
[04:38.66] Until we have some shit where we control the fuckin school system
[04:42.61] Where we reflect how we gon solve our own problems
[04:45.05] Them niggas aint gon relate to school, shit that just how it is
[04:49.34] Knowhatimsayin? and i love education, knowhatimsayin?
[04:52.33] But if education aint elevatin me, then you knowhatimsayin it aint
[04:56.05] Takin me where i need to go on some bullshit, then fuck education
[04:59.40] Knowhatimsayin? at least they shit, matter of fact my nigga
[05:02.46] This whole school system can suck my dick, beeyotch!!
