They just gave up on our entire generation
So we were all pushed to the side cuz 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 saggin yall labelled 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
There are so many things you 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 than sign-ups at registration
And the pregnancy rate is at an all-time high, we all know why
Now you would think the classrooms the place for mental stimulation
But its some brothers outside sellin that stuff, thatll really stimulate your mind, (talk about 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
A world that doesnt care whether I live or die,
And why, cuz I go to City High
So, We dont need your education
We dont want no pacifier
We are the leaders of your nation
Were gonna make sure the world survives
There aint no justice theres just us
What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust"
So as we get older and our children grow up
We aint gonna teach them what yall showed us
Theres too many babies dyin before theyre born (Lord aint that the truth)
Too many young ladies cryin with a daddy in the house but not a father in the home (now yall know theres a difference)
And what about all our young soldiers being led astray (by this negative music)
What happened to the Isaac Hayes, and the Curtis Mayfields and all the Marvin Gayes?
