Western Education is Forbidden

Lyrics for Western Education is Forbidden

My advice, don't stop rhymin', UPS not hirin' And this ain't the glory days, you can't get consignment It's Top Ramen, it's Boko Haram It's non-violence in Afrikaans That's three round burst firin' It's Miriam Mekeba openin' for Paul Simon Rufaro stadium, pull up in the blue Renault All the ministers have Mercedes, or the new Peugot That's when you kindly know, it's that kind of show They the type, hit this blunt, just let the run go I'd rather come through your front door (like so) "Shorty can't eat no book" what I told Ta-Nehesi Coates The room was thick with smoke Cd changer had a remote, remote battery low I laughed, 'cause sadly you think it's a joke Told my children Western education is forbidden Might as well sell what's left of your Ritalin No loose ends, took an acetalyne torch to the filaments Told my children Western education is forbidden Might as well sell what's left of your Ritalin No loose ends, took an acetalyne torch to the filaments Lines like Aikman in '95, whole team high Plot twist, told Leon, "Let me drive" Took my sweet time, the scenic route The leaf, kaffir lime Hit police with crisp hand signals, then the peace sign Wood burnin', we don't slice up this type of pie Gears turnin', certain e'rything I learned in community college was a lie Called him, the call's comin' from inside Farenheit was set in '99, but it wasn't fire this time The touch screen cold, glow, shine Couldn't read a book if I tried A failure of imagination, they say the treatment outpatient E'rything outdated the day it come out Hurtlin' down the ground racin' Release and stay Or I let you flex All these games are fruitless You can take me, you can take me But you'll never take my name You can take me, you can take me But you're just mining for my name Started light but they're Scarred and white Oh freedom, oh freedom The voice sleeps on the grave Oh freedom, oh freedom Who's watchin' anyway?
