"Knowhatimsayin? And they aint teachin us nothin
related to Solvin our own problems,
knowhatimsayin? Aint teachin us how to get crack
out the ghetto They aint teachin us how to stop
the police from murdering us And brutalizing us,
they aint teachin us how to get our rent paid
Knowhatimsayin? They aint teachin our families
how to interact Better with each other,
knowhatimsayin? They just teachin us
How to build they shit up, knowhatimsayin? "

I agree with most of their statements in "they
schools", but I think that the parents need to
be scrutinized more than the schools, espically
in this part here. Is it really the schools
responibility to get crack out the ghetto, or to
teach our families to interact better with each
other? No it's the parents and community
leaders...

under hues deepest blues hereafter
we touch souls and the moment glows
