REMEDY - Education lyrics

rate me

(feat. Children of the World, RZA)

[children screaming]

[bell rings]

[Man over P.A. system]

I need your attention now kids

Due to the recent events that have occured

Effective immediately, all classes are suspended

Until further notice

[children cheering]

[Remedy]

Black and white notebooks and ball-point pens

The first day of school, might make some new friends

From the 103, dreams to me was a Benz

Or the 3 o'clock bell that sounds when school ends

Lunch room status, we used to roll dice

Bang beats on the tables to see who was nice

Swore we knew it all, didn't want no advice

How unfortunate, some paid the ultimate price

We used to cut class all day, roam around the hallways

With little wooden passes

I remember 6th grade, assembly, shirt with tie

The young little Remedy, wonderin why

I did what I was told to get to junior high

Cuz at that point in time I believed I could fly

Big blue binders, young designer finders

Livin in the world with no rules, high school

Language arts, I sat and wrote darts

My mind ran wild and free like +Young Hearts+

Mathematics, where I based my foundation

Fall to the nation on wack Education

[Chorus: Children of the World (Remedy)]

We don't need no Education

We don't need no thought control

(What we need?)

What we need is information

Teach us, leave those kids alone

[RZA]

Yo, yo, sit in the back of the class with my hand up

2 wild security guards just grabbed my man up (HEY!)

Threw him in detention for 5 days suspension

Cuz sunset, the teacher was lyin about the Indians

Tryin to tell much of the story of Columbus

Tryin to brain-numb us, when all you see, that came from us

They copy-carvin, I learned about Gods and

Taggin Wu logos on the corner in my book margin

Phat shoe laces and tri-colored sneakers

I stood up like a man then I questioned the teacher

"How did Europeans black out in dark ages?

And when it got light did they white-wash the pages?

Why is it average college kids stuck with low wages?

You wonder why these students walk around with 12 gauges?"

Intense like a New York riot, she stood quiet

And said, "Mr. Diggs, may I please speak to you in private?"

[Chorus]

[Remedy]

"Put away your things, pop quiz"

Yo who he thing he is though messin with them kids?

All he ever did in my 9 to 3 bid yo

We don't really need no, won't you let us live

Misinformation straight from the board of education

Percential government issue number 2 pencils

Scantron sheets, gettin mark incompletes

Yo, "Keep still", "Get up on the wall", "Fire drill"

Routine line-up, snitch how you do us

Try and fool us with the big yellow school bus

But nonsense, parent/teacher conference

The system's invincible, go see the principal

[Chorus]

[Remedy (Children of the World)]

Put a freeze on the nation, board of Education

(Hey teachers! Leave those kids alone!)

Try and fool us with the big yellow school bus

(All in all we're just another brick in the wall)

Diploma or not, got to use what you got

(All in all we're just another brick in the wall)

Even if you drop out, there is no cop out

(All in all we're just another brick in the wall)

Bunch of preachers, so-called teachers

[Chorus]

[Outro: Children of the World]

Hey teachers! Leave those kids alone!
