Tongue - Bad Education lyrics

rate me

Live on the air like we own the station

Let me get this house banging like a home invasion

If you listen to the lyrics I'll expose the nation

Cos I got the same hunger that a stoners facing

Now it's time for some truth and I know your waiting

To look over my shoulder at the notes I've taken

Fans sue me after shows for their bones they're breaking

Don't they know my music is an ode to Satin? (No... No...)

They ain't had a bad education

They underqualified in a bad situation

I got to rock a mic so the magic I'm making

Will keep your eyes blazed like a happy Jamaican

You wanna talk heat? Tongue broke thermometers

You rappers don't count like votes in Florida

My home town knows now, Sydney don't slow down

Show how we got the hottest freaks in the showground

If you ain't hype enough to freestyle on the mic

When your live on the night then your

Not like me

Don't drink at the show?

Not like me

Don't think when you vote?

Not like me

If your letting them beat you down

Letting them teach you how to think

Then your already defeated now

And your not like me

Might think your hot but your not like me

I love this generation and the way that we kick it

They said "go to war" we said "hey you can stick it"

They said rap was wrong because they hated the lyrics

But never for a second were they breaking our spirit, no

New school, new style, new rules

You'll get chewed up you fools

By the best man writing

Rappers ought to do what they say like a deaf man signing

And politicians don't want this conscience emcee

Who stays higher and flyer than Qantas

To deliver on the words that he promised

With one verse they scatter like birds when I burn in their forests

You got to see it from the trees

Seperate the front page photos for what you wanna see

Huh, now what you gonna be?

Afraid of the future or make it on your own like me?

Making it hot for a reason

Don't try, ask why

Just don't understand what they facing

Watch sparks fly

We don't need know bad education

We don't need know mind control

Hey teachers, leave us kids alone
