Free Lyrics 2026

Just like i told you, you must learn

It's calm yet wild the style that i speak
Just filled with facts and you will never get weak in the heart
In fact you'll start to illuminate, knowledge to others in a song
Let me demonstrate the force of knowledge,
Knowledge reigned supreme
The ignorant is ripped to smithereens
What do you mean when you say i'm rebellious
'cause i don't accept everything that you're telling us
What are you selling us the creator dwellin' us
I sit in your unknown class while you're failing' us
I failed your class 'cause i ain't with your reasoning
You're tryin' make me you by seasoning
Up my mind with see jane run, see john walk in a hardcore new york
It doesn't exist no way, no how
It seems to me that in a school that's ebony
African history should be pumped up steadily, but it's not
And this has got to stop, see spot run, run get spot
Insulting to a black mentality, a black way of life
Or a jet black family, so i include with one concern, that
You must learn

Chorus: just like i told you, you must learn (twice)

I believe that if you're teaching history
Filled with straight up facts no mystery
Teach the student what needs to be taught
'cause black and white kids both take shorts
When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture
Ignorance swoops down like a vulture
'cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor
No one told you about benjamin banneker
A brilliant black man that invented the almanac
Can't you see where krs is coming at
With eli whitney, haile selassie
Granville woods made the walkie-talkie
Lewis latimer improved on edison
Charles drew did a lot for medicine
Garrett morgan made the traffic lights
Harriet tubman freed the slaves at night
Madame cj walker made a straightenin comb
But you won't know this is you weren't shown
The point i'm gettin' at it it might be harsh
'cause we're just walkin' around brainwashed
So what i'm sayin' is not to diss a man
We need the 89 school system
One that caters to a black return because
You must learn

Chorus
