As the world turns/
money decreases as money burns/
and it takes billz to learn/
so High School might be the final destination/
for a descent education/
no diploma, equals no occupation/
cant afford gas permanent seat at the bus station/
niggaz are wastin time/
all it takes is a lil concentrarion to rhyme/
use yo mind, instead niggaz wanna go out and commit crimes/
fuckin wit chickens when we can snatch dimes/
even the blind see yall headed the wrong way/
a black male dies every 12 mins each day/
and u cant outrun death/
so whose the next black suspect/
wanted for shootin another black male in the neck/
killin each other over colors/
when many years ago our ancestors were prolly brothers/
so we all related in the eyes of others/
Time to make a change/
put down the guns and quit lettin bullets fly like rain/
pick up a book and expand ya brain/
