lirik lagu dead prez - they schools

why haven’t you learned anything?

man that school sh-t is a joke
the same people who control the school system control
the prison system, and the whole social system
ever since slavery.
nawsayin?

i went to school with some redneck crackers
right around the time 3rd b-ss dropped the cactus alb-m
but i was readin malcolm i changed my name in ’89
cleaning parts of my brain like a baby nine
i took a history cl-ss serious
front row, every day of the week, 3rd period
f-ckin with the teachers head, 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 n-gg-s
in the hallways, the popo was always present
searchin through n-gg-s possessions, lookin for dope and weapons, get your lessons
that’s why my moms kept stressin
i tried to pay attention but they cl-sses weren’t interestin
they seemed to only glorify the europeans
claimin africans were only three-fifths o’ human beings

they schools can’t teach us sh-t
my people need freedom, we tryin to get all we can get
all my high school teachers can suck my d-ck
tellin me white man lies straight bullsh-t (echoes)

they schools aint teachin us,
what we need to know to survive (say what, say what)
they schools don’t educate,
all they teach the people is lies

you see dog, you see how quick these motherf-ckers be to like
be tellin n-gg-s get a diploma so you can get a job
knowwhatimsayin but they don’t never tell you how the job
gonna exploit you every time knowwhatimsayin that’s why i be like
f-ck they schools!

school is like a 12 step brainwash camp
they make you think if you drop out you aint 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 partic-p-tion, my favorite teachers
when they beat us in the head with them books, it don’t reach us
whether you breakdance or rock suede addidas
or be in the bathroom with your clique, smokin reefer
then you know they math cl-ss aint important ‘less you addin up cash
in multiples, unemployment aint rewardin
they may as well teach us extortion
you either get paid or locked up, the princ-p-l is like a warden
in a four year sentence, mad n-gg-s never finish
but that doesn’t mean i couldn’t be a doctor or a dentist

they schools can’t teach us sh-t
my people need freedom, we tryin to get all we can get
all my high school teachers can suck my d-ck
tellin me white man lies straight bullsh-t (echoes)

they schools aint teachin us,
what we need to know to survive (say what, say what)
they schools don’t educate,
all they teach the people is lies

cuz for real, a mind is a terrible thing to waste
and all y’all high cl-ss n-gg-s with y’all nose up
cuz we droppin this sh-t on this joint, f-ck y’all
we gon speak for ourselves
knowhatimsayin? cuz see the schools aint teachin us nothin
they aint teachin us nothin but how to be slaves and hardworkers
for white people to build up they sh-t
make they businesses successful while it’s exploitin us
knowhatimsayin? and they aint teachin us nothin related to
solvin our own problems, knowhatimsayin?
aint teachin us how to get crack out the ghetto
they aint teachin us how to stop the police from murdering us
and brutalizing us, they aint teachin us how to get our rent paid
knowhatimsayin? they aint teachin our families how to interact
better with each other, knowhatimsayin? they just teachin us
how to build they sh-t up, knowhatimsayin? that’s why my n-gg-s
got a problem with this sh-t, that’s why n-gg-s be droppin out that
sh-t cuz it don’t relate, you go to school the f-ckin police
searchin you you walkin in your sh-t like this a military compound
knowhatimsayin? so school don’t even relate to us
until we have some sh-t where we control the f-ckin school system
where we reflect how we gon solve our own problems
them n-gg-s aint gon relate to school, sh-t that just how it is
knowhatimsayin? and i love education, knowhatimsayin?
but if education aint elevatin me, then you knowhatimsayin it aint
takin me where i need to go on some bullsh-t, then f-ck education
knowhatimsayin? at least they sh-t, matter of fact my n-gg-
this whole school system can suck my d-ck, beeyotch!
