| [00:01.88] | Don’t Be A Dropout - James Brown |
| [00:06.45] | |
| [00:09.33] | Now a good friend of mine |
| [00:12.99] | Sat with me and he cried |
| [00:14.91] | He told me a story |
| [00:16.92] | I know he ain't lying |
| [00:18.58] | Said he went for a job |
| [00:21.33] | And Mr Man said |
| [00:22.90] | Without an education |
| [00:24.35] | |
| [00:25.08] | You might as well be dead |
| [00:27.21] | Now don't get me wrong |
| [00:29.12] | He said it's not who you are |
| [00:31.25] | But people come to me |
| [00:33.44] | From near and far |
| [00:35.25] | But I do just what |
| [00:37.71] | And I follow the rules |
| [00:39.87] | I didn't have an education |
| [00:41.92] | So I had to go back to school |
| [00:43.93] | Tell me one more time people now |
| [00:46.31] | What do you say |
| [00:48.02] | Without an education |
| [00:49.46] | |
| [00:49.99] | You might as well be dead |
| [00:52.43] | One more time |
| [00:55.05] | What do you say |
| [00:56.84] | Without an education |
| [00:58.46] | You might as well be dead |
| [01:00.59] | My friends told all his buddies |
| [01:03.65] | That he loved so well |
| [01:05.06] | And of their personal troubles |
| [01:07.26] | I will not tell |
| [01:08.88] | Now those guys didn't seem good |
| [01:11.54] | And they didn't seem bad |
| [01:13.36] | They didn't seem so happy |
| [01:15.54] | And I know they weren't sad |
| [01:17.33] | But the point isn't |
| [01:19.33] | That they follow the rules |
| [01:21.48] | They got an education |
| [01:23.61] | And they all been in school |
| [01:25.58] | Now underneath his tears |
| [01:28.14] | I could see the true fact |
| [01:30.07] | When he dropped out of school |
| [01:32.56] | He never never went back |
| [01:34.04] | Tell me one more time people |
| [01:36.16] | What do you say |

| [01:47.13] | Without an education |
| [01:48.78] | Might as well be dead |
| [01:50.97] | So one day he got tired |
| [01:53.76] | Of his little spending change |
| [01:55.29] | So he looked up his friends |
| [01:57.53] | To check their pay range |
| [01:59.13] | When he got there the crib |
| [02:01.87] | He found that he was a drag |
| [02:03.79] | 'Cause man they were clean |
| [02:06.07] | And his clothes were like rags |
| [02:07.99] | One was a business man |
| [02:10.75] | With the plenty of dough |
| [02:12.49] | He had his thing so set up |
| [02:14.43] | You know he couldn't blow |
| [02:16.43] | |
| [02:17.14] | The other had his job so uptight |
