dead prez - they school lyrics

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 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 cl-ss serious
front row, every day of the week, 3rd period
f-ckin’ 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’ n-ggas
in the hallways, the popo was always present
searchin’ through n-ggas 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 wasn’t interestin’
they seemed to only glorify the europeans
claimin’ africans were only three fifth’s a human being
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
they schools ain’t 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-ggas get a diploma so you can get a job
know what i’m sayin’ but they don’t never tell you how the job
gonna exploit you every time know what i’m sayin’ 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 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 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 ain’t important ‘less you addin’ up cash
in multiples, unemployment ain’t 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-ggas 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
they schools ain’t 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
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
they schools ain’t 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-ggas with y’all nose up
‘cuz we droppin’ this sh-t on this joint, f-ck y’all
we gon’ speak for ourselves
know what i’m sayin’? ‘cuz see the schools ain’t teachin’ us nothin’
they ain’t 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
know what i’m sayin’? and they ain’t teachin’ us nothin’ related to
solvin’ our own problems, know what i’m sayin’?
ain’t teachin’ us how to get crack out the ghetto
they ain’t teachin’ us how to stop the police from murdering us
and brutalizing us, they ain’t teachin’ us how to get our rent paid
know what i’m sayin’? they ain’t teachin’ our families how to interact
better with each other, know what i’m sayin’? they just teachin’ us
how to build they sh-t up, know what i’m sayin’? that’s why my n-ggas
got a problem with this sh-t, that’s why n-ggas 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
know what i’m sayin’? 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-ggas ain’t gon’ relate to school, sh-t that just how it is
know what i’m sayin’? and i love education, know what i’m sayin’?
but if education ain’t elevatin’ me, then you know what i’m sayin’ it ain’t
takin’ me where i need to go on some bullsh-t, then f-ck education
know what i’m sayin’? at least they sh-t, matter of fact my n-gga
this whole school system can suck my d-ck, beeyotch
