George Carlin from “Life Is Worth Losing”:
“There’s a reason education sucks! And it’s the same reason that it will never be fixed. It’s never going to get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you’ve got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that.”

…back to school c’mon… back to school

- VERSE -

I keep on trying to advance and it seems like y’all just stay put/
you’re small time as fuck like an argument on facebook/
all these albums and these mixtapes really don’t mean shit/
without an educated mind from which you’re going to spit/
see and you don’t peep the lessons, busy watching a ball game/
shout out to all the small kids getting pushed around in the hallways/
a bully is a super-villan with only one power/
remember that you’re the hero - pay no mind to them dumb cowards/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

- VERSE -
It’s the information age and this is unacceptable/
like hate speech towards a person for being a homosexual/
people can change the world and I wonder what’s stopping them/
we don’t need politicians - we need food, water and oxygen/
education, information, truth and abundance/
and all without a price tag, tell me who doesn’t want this?/
don’t you think our children deserve the highest quality of life/
and if I die I died battling this darkness with some light/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)
…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

- VERSE -

See, I no longer blame the people for the fault in their ways/
because it’s selfish leadership that’s the biggest problem today/
they divide and conquer us and y’all submit willingly/
I don’t fit in at your social events - it’s not killing me/
these cops’ killing sprees prove we’re not really free/
why don’t you stop frisking me
like I’m some shoplifting teen/
a couple mixtapes, my phone - that’s what I got in my jeans/
have I committed a crime? what could it possibly be?/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

I do this for my son and daughter - feeding them knowledge/
your Poppa’s not a Rolling Stone with a lot of cheese in his pocket/
I ain’t seen Benjamin in a while, mostly receipts in my wallet/
a happy, sad, mad scientist, a beast and a monster/
who doesn’t give up on the mission, he’s far too stubborn/
when life hits you - hit back and be the stronger puncher/
like Little Mac
y’all my little champ
and I couldn’t be prouder/
enjoy your Daddy’s newest CD and turn it up louder/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

Simon says everybody run and tell a friend/
if you do nothing - nothing change and the shit never ends/
Hiphop in my brain, star stuff in my blood/
cock-punch your brain like a hard puff on a blunt/
purple haze, white widow, don’t give a “F” what it’s called/
it’s Mother Earth and Mother knows way better than y’all/
so you can keep your pharmaceuticals, I ain’t trying to die/
I’m in my muthafuckin’ prime and I’ve got my eye on the prize/
…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

Shout out to my godsons Nate, Jonnie and Josh/
don’t be getting crazy with girls
need to elevate yourself first/
your Father would tell you ‘you ain’t ready for that?’/
so at least be selective and remember your hat/
you got a lot of shit to learn so pay attention, I love you/
it’s one life and “game over” you don’t get to hit undo/
it’s not a muthafuckin’ game and them boys don’t know jack/
so read them books that I be sending y’all front to back/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

It’s been an honor and a privilege making these records/
I don’t be trying to piss you off, frustrate, or upset you/
because I got a big mouth and I stay reporting the news/
turn off the damn TV, it’s distorting your views/
shout out to WPFW 89.3/cuz CNN and FOX is not the kinda news I need/
and I never made it up to John Stewart’s Daily Show/
remember that nothing is forever and that’s the way it goes/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

If I could drown in the music all day every day/
it’d be Rick James bitchez and we’d straight celebrate/
and play music by the legends, the greats of the greats/
and you can crack open a blunt or break out the vapes/
but we gotta grind hard, we gotta stay independent/
support net neutrality - the greatest of weapons/
in the war on bullshit, we need participation/
cuz we are one, come together each and every nation/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)

- VERSE -

What more can I say man? it’s great to be alive/
and if you still believe in god and wanna pray for me that’s fine/
we got more important things that we can probably agree on/
like Black Lives Matter
in fact I’d have to/
guess you’d probably be ok ending the war on drugs/
but enough serious rap
yo - come here and get smacked/
I’ll smack you back and forth, smack you counter clockwise/
you’re not prepared to go twelve rounds with Popeye/

…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
(…yet)
…back to school c’mon… back to school
because class not through you haven’t mastered you
