The Tongue - Bad Education lyrics
[Verse 1] Live on the air like we own the station Let me get this house banging like a home invasion If you listen to the lyrics I'll expose the nation Cos I got the same hunger that a stoners facing Now its time for some truth and I know your waiting To look over my shoulder at the notes I've taken Fans sue me after shows for their bones they're breaking Don't they know my music is an ode to Satin? (No... No...) They ain't had a bad education They underqualified in a bad situation I got to rock a mic so the magic I'm making Will keep your eyes blazed like a happy Jamaican You wanna talk heat? Tongue broke thermometers You rappers don't count like votes in Florida My home town knows now, Sydney don't slow down Show how we got the hottest freaks in the showground [Chorus] If you ain't hype enough to freestyle on the mic When your live on the night then your Not like me Don't drink at the show? Not like me Don't think when you vote? Not like me If your letting them beat you down Letting them teach you how to think Then your already defeated now And your not like me Might think your hot but your not like me [Verse 2] I love this generation and the way that we kick it They said "go to war" we said "hey you can stick it" They said rap was wrong because they hated the lyrics But never for a second were they breaking our spirit, no New school, new style, new rules You'll get chewed up you fools By the best man writing Rappers ought to do what they say like a deaf man signing And politicians don't want this conscience emcee Who stays higher and flyer than Qantas To deliver on the words that he promised With one verse they scatter like birds when I burn in their forests You got to see it from the trees Seperate the front page photos for what you wanna see Huh, now what you gonna be? Afraid of the future or make it on your own like me? [Chorus] [Hook] Making it hot for a reason Don't try, ask why Just don't understand what they facing Watch sparks fly [Bridge] We don't need know bad education We don't need know mind control Hey teachers, leave us kids alone
