City High - City High Anthem Lyrics
They just gave up on our entire generationSo we were all pushed to the side cuz we didnt see the world through our teachers eyesWhen all we needed was a little bit of motivationBut because we wore our pants saggin yall labelled us gangstasAnd said we wasnt worth the timeThere are so many things I never asked youThere are so many things I still dont knowThere are so many things you never told meAnd still so many things that I will never knowAnd why, cuz I went to city highA school with more drop outs than sign-ups at registrationAnd the pregnancy rate is at an all-time high, we all know whyNow you would think the classrooms the place for mental stimulationBut its some brothers outside sellin that stuff, thatll really stimulate your mind, (talk about gettin high)There are so many things you never showed me,There are too many things you let slip by,How can I face a world that doesnt know meA world that doesnt care whether I live or die,And why, cuz I go to city highSo, we dont need your educationWe dont want no pacifierWe are the leaders of your nationWere gonna make sure the world survivesThere aint no justice theres just usWhat happened to the meaning of in God we trustSo as we get older and our children grow upWe aint gonna teach them what yall showed usTheres too many babies dyin before theyre born (lord aint that the truth)Too many young ladies cryin with a daddy in the house but not a father in the home (now yall know theres a difference)And what about all our young soldiers being led astray (by this negative music)What happened to the isaac hayes, and the curtis mayfields and all the marvin gayes?Man we really need em todayAnd there were so many things that needed explainingBut you said it was too late for me to learnYou were suppose to be my shelter when it was raininBut instead you left me out here all alone, so I gotta make it on my ownWe dont need your educationWe dont want no pacifierWe are the leaders of your nationWere gonna make sure the world survivesThere aint no justice theres just usWhat happened to the meaning of in God we trustSo as we get older and our children grow upWe aint gonna teach them what yall showed usFor people who did believe, what we could do to change our future, you knew the world was in our hands, help build them strong so they can withstand, all the pressures, all the war, all the prej, and the others who were sure we couldnt fight the stress in life, for those of you who didnt believe us, listen to my words for you, listen to your children sing to youWe dont need your educationWe dont want no pacifierWe are the leaders of your nationWere gonna make sure the world survivesThere aint no justice theres just usWhat happened to the meaning of in God we trustSo as we get older and our children grow upWe aint gonna teach them what yall showed us(repeat x1)
