rav - educated ft. the lj lyrics
[sample]
yo man, you changed man
you change [?]
look at your clothes man, what’s up with that man
man, you a different person, man
i ain’t like it
[verse 1: rav]
generally, people look and they think
he must hate hip+hop, they know what them think
just ’cause i dress smart, just ’cause i look fresh
lookin’ intellectual don’t mean that i’m just
[?] hip+hop, ya’ll illiterate
that prejudice of yours is ignorant
don’t judge a book by it’s cover
don’t judge a brother just by his color
i’m yellow, sh+t, i don’t give a f+ck
grew up in the hood with the thugs
then, my family got rich so we moved sh+t up
i become educated and lookin’ up
to prosperous dreams, become an attorney
ya’ll sayin’ i’ve change, like, dope you’re a phony
if ya’ll think so, you don’t know me, homie
we all gotta aim for the top, yo, for sure b
but, alright i’ma let you hate it
i guess i’m just escalated
yeah, my mind has elevated
uh, i become educated
[verse 2: the lj]
when i was a kid i was ignorant, elevate at a slow speed
[?] when i moved, and i got smoked by weed
it’s a vicious circle
see, [?] vice grip
on my mind, my flow next to the bible, i’m nice
n+ggas don’t know, ’cause people just can’t recognize
that i’m fly, fresher than your momma’s best apple pie
to clean the scheme, but nothin’ less than the dream
believe that i’m appear in your hip+hop magazine, for real uh
these kind of beats make me reminisce
’bout times that i was in the place makin’ money, eloquence
bigger than elephant sh+t, n+gga
my [?] will never leave me hangin’ from the rope
n+gga that’s relevence
hangin’ on to the game from a tightrope
gettin’ sued by the fans ’cause i gave hip+hop a light grope
like, grow up you fools, just be thinkin’ ’bout your jewels
when we thinkin’ ’bout your crews and money like it was cool, nah
laid back, ya know? (yeah)
[outro: rav & the lj]
[rav]
just go to school man, study and do yo’ thing
don’t be another n0body
[the lj]
stay on your grind, man
[rav]
do something with your life, man f+ck
[the lj]
you n+ggas is smarter than that, you know
[rav]
rav+ill
[the lj]
just keep it real
