You Must Learn (remix)

Boogie Down Productions

My man D Nice D Nice is in the booth



Workin harder than ever



D Nice is rockin the sound set tonight



We're not through I wanna drop a new style

and this has got to stop



See Spot run, run get Spot



Insulting to a Black mentality

Are y'all having fun tonight?



I said are y'all having fun tonight?



Verse Two:

Deal with straight up facts no mystery



Teach the student what needs to be taught



Cause Black and White kids both take shorts



When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture



Ignorance swoops down like a vulture
