Educate Me

Educate me people Can you hear me from the steopel? How can you learn from the streets? I know hip-hop can teach you different beats Music can teach you a lot I'm sure Reggae, hip-hop, r&b, and etc. are so pure How can you learn from a friend? Someone who always sin Do drugs and steal cars And is put behind bars How can a camp teach you better? Learn how to love and write your enemy a nice letter Do push-ups and climb a wall Climb to high and you might just fall Educate me people I said do you here me from the steopel? There's more to be learned than taught Do you know about Dr. King and Malcolm X and how they both fought Come on people put the little kids in school Doing the right thing might be cool Learning can actually rule I know don't no body want to be a fool Looking at the wall can't teach you nothing At least turn on t.v or do something Television probably can do some good Learn something new, I think you should Give me your knowledge So I can learn and go to college 'Cause if no one wants to listen Then I'll pay attention
