what are you doin?
oh. you have nothin better to do/
you bring yr penz n paper into our schoolz n our hoodz/
look n take note
look n take note
do you not have anythin better to do?
well listen...
i don't wish to study you/
n when i tell you where to go
yr thots that i'm savage will show/
you teach yrs - i will teach mine
how to survh/e n how to shine/
i will get yr ^education* n pass mine d
w
cause i'm tired of bein thot of as a clown/
n no/ i'm not angry/
just enlightened and informed
n i know you do not like that
cause you look at me with scorn/
so study onl
study us all you pleeeezze/
for after all the jim crow n niggah beatins we've been through
we are still whole and still have a soul/
n that thing you so desperately desire n search for in us
is somethin that is missin in u/

of my current beau’s arms
were left behind.
