[Akira The Don, Bret Weinstein - Lessons to Rhyme lyrics]
Going to talk about Dr Suess
Beginning with a poem that you have written
Without further ado
Iwait, it appears to be, so I
Have not heard it yet
I'm looking forward to it
And it appears to be written
By one Dr Weinsteinium
Yes
Which is how I refer to you sometimes
When you call me on the phone
And we yell at each other
My sensе is that now they
Have gone far too far
Thе offenses they claim have
Grown just too bizarre
They say Dr Seuss wrote books that did harm
That we shouldn't be fooled
By his fanciful charm
But they must assume that
We're dumber than dumb
That we'll take their word and
Go numb and succumb
But I think they've guessed wrong
Or at least we can hope
That no one of sound mind could be such dope
Like everyone else, Dr Suess had his flaws
He made some missteps
He got dirt on his paws
But he owned his mistakes
Made amends and grew wise
Illustrated his growth as his
Heart grew in size
Suess was a model of how we should behave
In confronting our flaws
We should all be so brave
And if we are able, put lessons to rhyme
For a rhyme drives a point
With rhythm through time
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
For a rhyme drives a point
With rhythm through time
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
For a rhyme drives a point – rhyme
Drives a point – rhyme drives
Those with an urge to burn witches and books
We should face them with
Courage and Suessian looks
We should block them with baffles
That baffle them good
So, our descendants will know where
It is that we stood
Let them read Dr Suess, let them read it
I say let them read the whole catalog
Don't you take it away
It's not yours to take it belongs to us all
Your authority is fake and your
Bluff we now call
Straight to hell with this wokeness
Kids can handle the truth
Acquisition of nuance is the purpose of youth
If we shield them from
Slight, scrapes and bumps, they'll grow weak
They'll fear violence in innocent
Words that we speak
And who wants to live as a quivering wreck?
Minds like a siv hiding under the deck
Have them come up stand out tall and robust
Although history is full of
Events most unjust
That's not the whole story no, not by a lot
We've made progress of plenty in
Both fairness and thought
Though, we've miles yet to go and
We've no time to rest
The west is best suited to master this test
So, we must protect it, stand fast and defend
Values that must never be brought to an end
Equality is good, a most worthy objective
It must be defended from naive invective
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
For a rhyme drives a point
With rhythm through time
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
For a rhyme drives a point – rhyme
Drives a point – rhyme drives
We must keep on and continue to strive
To keep progress going and keep hope alive
Doesn't matter your color
Your sex or your creed
Opportunity is the thing all sneetches need
Irrespective of stars that they
Have or they don't
Regardless of things that they
Will or they won't we know how to fix this
It's in all those books
Lodged now deep in our minds
And the crannies and nooks
Have a look and you'll see
Suess is in there, i swear
So give him a good dusting off, if you dare
He taught us a lot that we now need to know
How is it he knew all the places we'd go?
I'll now leave you with
This one final thought
I'm aware of the hard place
In which we're now caught
Can we please cut it out
And not cancel and mock?
Can we team up together
To dislodge this rock? Cause we do need to
Exit this historical phase
Do you get it yet? Or must I rephrase?
We're all in it together
You can like that or not
Bound up as one, we will prosper or rot
We have one tiny earth It's all that we roam
That's what astronauts tell us
When returning home
And I'm sure that they're right
As I'm sure you're aware
So, treat this rock and each other
With the greatest of care
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
For a rhyme drives a point
With rhythm through time
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
If we are able, put lessons to rhyme
For a rhyme drives a point – rhyme
Drives a point – rhyme drives
Wonderful that's so good
Thank you
Wow that's truly remarkable
So, God, Suess did so
I don't mean to call him God Suess
It's all right
Okay, I'll call him God Suess god Suess
