they just gave up on our entire generation so we were all just pushed to the side cuz we didn't see the world trough our teachers eyes and all we needed was a little bit of motivation but because we wore our pants saggin y'all labeld us gangstas and said we wasn't worth ya time
and there are so many thing i'd never asked you and there are so many thing i still don't know and there are so many things u never told me and still so many things that i will never know and why? cuz i went to city high
a school with more drop outs then sign up at registration and the pregnacey rate is at an all time hight(we all know why) and you would think the class room is a place for mental stimulation.. but there's some brothers outside selling that stuff that really simulates ur minds(talkin bout getting high)
and there are so many things you never showed me and there are to many things you let slip by how can i face a world that doesn't know me a world that doesn't care wether i live or die and why? cuz i went to city high
CHORUS:
we don't need your education
we don't want no pass advice
we are the leaders of your nation were gunna make sure the world survives there ain't no justice theres just us what happend to the meaning of in "God we trust" so as we get older and our children grow up we aint gunna teach them what ya'll told us
there are too many babies dying before they're born to many young ladies crying with a daddy in the house but not a father in the home(ya'll know there's a differance) what about our young soilders being lead stray by this negitive music what happend to the isac heays and the marvin gaeys man we really need them today
and there are so mant things that need explaining what you said was to late we need to learn you were supposed to be my shelter when it was raining but instead you left me out here all alone so i gotta make it on my own
CHORUS
for the people who did belive what we could change our future u knew the world was in out hands help build them strong so they can with stant all the preasures all the war all the prejiduce but the other were sure we couldn't fight the stress in life and for those who didn't belive listen to my words for you listen to your kids sing to you
CHORUSx2
