Uneducate Me

So you taught me to fly You taught me to buy Using cash you call money The exchange we did in trade You said its old by time it'll fade You taught me your language So by you we can engage On your level of understanding My taung a savage talk My stories you called them folk. You taught me to dress Title deed my land with address Giving me a small portion And you made me to pay Then made laws for me to obey. You taught me to teach others I tried to teach my mothers But they smiled in ignorance Saying our sons are teachers Educated to uneducate our cultures.
