作词 : KRS One | |
Just like i told you, you must learn | |
It's calm yet wild the style that i speak | |
Just filled with facts and you will never get weak in the heart | |
In fact you'll start to illuminate, knowledge to others in a song | |
Let me demonstrate the force of knowledge, | |
Knowledge reigned supreme | |
The ignorant is ripped to smithereens | |
What do you mean when you say i'm rebellious | |
'cause i don't accept everything that you're telling us | |
What are you selling us the creator dwellin' us | |
I sit in your unknown class while you're failing' us | |
I failed your class 'cause i ain't with your reasoning | |
You're tryin' make me you by seasoning | |
Up my mind with see jane run, see john walk in a hardcore new york | |
It doesn't exist no way, no how | |
It seems to me that in a school that's ebony | |
African history should be pumped up steadily, but it's not | |
And this has got to stop, see spot run, run get spot | |
Insulting to a black mentality, a black way of life | |
Or a jet black family, so i include with one concern, that | |
You must learn | |
Chorus: just like i told you, you must learn (twice) | |
I believe that if you're teaching history | |
Filled 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 | |
'cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor | |
No one told you about benjamin banneker | |
A brilliant black man that invented the almanac | |
Can't you see where krs is coming at | |
With eli whitney, haile selassie | |
Granville woods made the walkie-talkie | |
Lewis latimer improved on edison | |
Charles drew did a lot for medicine | |
Garrett morgan made the traffic lights | |
Harriet tubman freed the slaves at night | |
Madame cj walker made a straightenin comb | |
But you won't know this is you weren't shown | |
The point i'm gettin' at it it might be harsh | |
'cause we're just walkin' around brainwashed | |
So what i'm sayin' is not to diss a man | |
We need the 89 school system | |
One that caters to a black return because | |
You must learn | |
Chorus |
