City High - City High Anthem lyrics
They just gave up on our entire generation So we were all pushed to the side Cuz we didn't see the world through our teacher's eyes When all we needed was alittle bit of motivation But because we wore our pants saggin We were labeled as gangsta's and said we wasn't worth the time There are so many things I never asked you There are so many things I still don't know, oh, oh, There are so many things you never told me, And so many things that I will never know And why, cuz I went to City High A school with more drop outs than sign ups at registration (mmm, yeah) And the pregnacy rate is at an all time high (we all know why) And you would think the classroom's the place for mental stimulation (mmm) But there's some brother's outside sellin that stuff that'll really stimulate your mind (I'm talkin bout gettin high) There are so many things you never showed me There are too many things you let slip by (let em slip on by) How can I face a world that doesn't know me? (don't even know me) A world that doesn't care whether I live or die and why, cuz I go to City High Chorus SO we don't need your education We don't want no pacifier We are the leaders of your nation We gonna make sure the world survives There ain't no justice, there's just us What happened to the meaning of in God we trust? As we get older and our children grow up We ain'tgonna teach them what ya'll showed us, mmm There's too many babies dyin before they're born (lord ain't that the truth) And too many young ladies cryin with a daddy in the house and not a father in the home (now ya'll know there's a difference) Now what about all these young soldiers being led astray What happened to the Issac Hayes, the Curtis Mayfields and all the Marvin Gayes Man we really need em today And there are so many things that need explaining but you said it was too late for me to learn Was supposed to be my shelter when it was raining But instead you left me out here all alone And I gotta make it on my own Chorus 1x The people who did believe What we could do to change our future You knew the world was in our hands Help build them stronger so they could withstand All the pressures, all the war, all the prejudice When the others were sure we couldn't figt the stress in life But those who didn't believe us Listen to my words for you Listen to your children sing to you Chorus 2x |
