They just gave up on our entire generation So we were all pushed aside cause we didnt see the world through our teachers eyes When all we needed was a little bit of motivation But because we wore our pants baggy, yall labeled us gangstas, and said we wasnt worth the time There are so many things I never asked you There are so many things I still dont know (oooo ooo) There are so many things you never told me Still so many things that I will never know Why? cause I went to City High A school with more dropouts than sign-ups at registration And the pregnancy rate is at all time high (we all know why) Now you would think the classrooms the place for mental stimulation But its some brothas outside sellin that stuff that will really stimulate yo mind (talkin bout gettin high) There are so many things you never showed me There are too many things you let slip by How can I face a world that doesnt know me (doesnt know me) A world that doesnt care whether I live or die Why oh why? cause I go to City High We dont need your education We dont want no pasifier We are the leaders of your nation Were gonna make sure the world survives There is no justice theres just us What happened to the meaning of "In God We Trust"? As we grow older and our children grow up We aint gonna teach them wut yall showed us(mmhmm) Theres too many babies dyin before their born Too many ladies cryin with a daddy in hte house but not a father in the home( now yall I kno theres a difference) What about all our soldiers bein lead astraint (by this negative music) What happened to the Isac Hayes, and the Curtis Mayfield, and all the Marvin Gaye Man we really need em today There are so many things that need explainin What you said, it was too late for me to learn You were supposed ot be my shelter when it was rainin But instead you left me out here all alone So now I gotta make it on my own We dont need your education We dont want no pasifier We are the leaders of your nation Were gonna make sure the world survives There is no justice theres just us What happened to teh meaning of "In God We Trust"? So as we grow older and our children grow up We aint gonna teach them wut yall showed us(mmmhmm) (Talking) The people that did beleive What we could do to change our future You knew the world was in our hands Help build them strong so they be good at hand All the pressures, all the war, all the prejudice But the others were sure we could fight the stress in life Those of you who didnt beleive us Listen to my words for you Listen to your children sing to you We dont need your education We dont want no pasifier We are the leaders of your nation Were gonna make sure the world survives There is no justice theres just us What happened to teh meaning of "In God We Trust"? So as we grow older and our children grow up W e aint gonna teach them wut yall showed us(mmmhmm) (repeat 2x)
