Education

{*children screaming*} {*bell rings*} [Man over P.A. system] I need your attention now kids Due to the recent events that have occurred 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 classes 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 [Hook: 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, sat 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 son said, the teacher was lyin about the Indians Tryin to dumb us with the story of Columbus And brain-numb us, when all you see, that came from us They copy-carbon, I learned about Gods and Taggin Wu logos on the corner of my book margin Fat shoe laces and tri-colored sneakers I stood up like a man then I questioned the teacher "Why did Europeans black out in dark ages? And when it got light did they whitewash the pages? Why is the average college kid 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?" [Hook] [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 [Hook] [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 [Hook] [Outro: Children of the World] Hey teachers! Leave those kids alone!
