Dr. Chicago - Higher Edukation lyrics
[Verse 1] Born in the city of a broken womb Closed minds and an open wound Don't speak unless spoken to Closed mouths wanting golden spoons Black and his English it broke in two Olde English toking dreams of blue Used to wanna tote guns for dollars But quoted books from scholars And now I'm graduating college (true) They'll never take away my soul They Already took control Took away the gold You ain't even know You just living life ignorance is bliss Stories never told voices never heard You just keep it down (word) You don't lean on me, we just lean on lean Meaning sipping that (syrup) You tryna live behind the eyelids System got you blinded My eyes is still up on the prizes rising They said the sky's the limit lying I'm aiming for the target, f** that I'm aiming way beyond it Finding the findless, you'll never find it if you place that limit upon it Chronic education Take one, light one, let's enlighten the nations Put that love in a crack pipe act like you wanna get high on vacation Gotta get away Like birds they got us in a cage You ever wonder what they sang Well you gon' learn today And don't you don't you [Hook] And don't you ever let them hold you down You'll break free and you'll escape the world And don't you be afraid to leave the ground Get lifted, come on let's get higher Higher education, let's get higher education (Let's get higher) Higher education, let's get higher education (Let's get higher) Higher education, let's get higher education (Get lifted, come on let's get higher) Higher education, let's get higher education [Verse 2] I used to think cause the way that I thought I prolly wouldn't graduate Even though I'm from the chi (thank I'm god alive) sh** I ain't tryna be like 'Ye I stare in the mirror and I'm still self conscious Tryna fight these monsters, demons, in my closet Haunts me from back in the day even when I was semen Mama gives life to the boy then raise him Pops lived life on a day to day basis Love my parents with all of my heart But it breaks my heart to know that they aging I got family in cell blocks Hoping Jesus saves 'em Ain't put a letter in your mailbox But just know that I am praying For you It's f**ing with my conscience Went away to college They erased away my knowledge Replaced it when they washed it My brain my pain has been adopted Nah nah I ain't really have an option They was k**ing they was mobbing (Pop pop pop) Lord I would've been mindless Im having flashbacks and visions Of the day when I thought my life was almost ended (f** opps) The Police they didn't tend it And I had cla** to be attended So I had to get away Please lord I just wanna be saved If don't make it to tomorrow I'm gon ask you today And he said [Hook]
