[REMEDY, RZA, Children of the World - Education lyrics]

I need your attention now kids
Due to the recent events that have occurred
Effective immediately
All classes are suspended
Until further notice

Black and white notebooks and ball-point pens
The first day of school
Might make some new friends
From the 103, dreams to me was a Benz
Or the 3 o'clock bell that
Sounds when school ends
Lunch room status, we used to roll dice
Bang beats on the tables to see who was nice
Swore we knew it all, didn't want no advice
How unfortunate, some paid the ultimate price
We used to cut classes all day
Roam around the hallways
With little wooden passes
I remember 6th grade, assembly
Shirt with tie


The young little Remedy, wonderin why
I did what I was told to get to junior high
Cuz at that point in time
I believed I could fly
Big blue binders, young designer finders
Livin in the world with no rules, high school
Language arts, I sat and wrote darts
My mind ran wild and free like +Young Hearts+
Mathematics, where I based my foundation
Fall to the nation on wack Education

We don't need no Education
We don't need no thought control
(What we need?) what we need is information
Teach us, leave those kids alone

Yo, yo
Sat in the back of the class with my hand up
2 wild security guards just grabbed my man up
(HEY)
Threw him in detention for 5 days suspension
Cuz son said
The teacher was lyin about the Indians
Tryin to dumb us with the story of Columbus
And brain-numb us, when all you see
That came from us
They copy-carbon, I learned about Gods and
Taggin Wu logos on the corner
Of my book margin
Fat shoe laces and tri-colored sneakers
I stood up like a man
Then I questioned the teacher
"Why did Europeans black out in dark ages?
And when it got light did
They whitewash the pages?
Why is the average college kid
Stuck with low wages?
You wonder why these students walk
Around with 12 gauges?"
Intense like a New York riot, she stood quiet
And said, "Mr diggs
May I please speak to you in private?"

"Put away your things, pop quiz"
Yo who he thing he is
Though messin with them kids?
All he ever did in my 9 to 3 bid yo
We don't really need no
Won't you let us live
Misinformation straight from the
Board of education
Percential government issue number 2 pencils
Scantron sheets, gettin mark incompletes
Yo, "Keep still", "Get up on the wall"
"Fire drill"
Routine line-up, snitch how you do us
Try and fool us with the
Big yellow school bus but nonsense, parent
Teacher conference
The system's invincible, go see the principal

Put a freeze on the nation
Board of Education
(Hey teachers! Leave those kids alone)
Try and fool us with the
Big yellow school bus
(All in all we're just another
Brick in the wall)
Diploma or not, got to use what you got
(All in all we're just another
Brick in the wall)
Even if you drop out, there is no cop out
(All in all we're just another
Brick in the wall)
Bunch of preachers, so-called teachers

Hey teachers! Leave those kids alone!
