World’s Teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
Had to say it five times so it gets in your mind.
If you can’t see that by now you must be blind, but that’s no problem of mine.
Could you withstand the grind? 24/7 365 of being black?
I know you can’t. I figure your favorite part bout being black is knowing how to rap and saying “nigga” with impunity.
But would you take the opportunity to teach non-blacks why they can’t say it back?
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
It is not our job to be the world’s teacher.
Said that five more times to put it in your mind,
WHY DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU WE DON’T LUST FOR CRIME?
Time after time you believed we are inherently dangerous.
SO IT’S UP TO ME TO REMOVE STIGMAS YOUR PEOPLE PLACED ON US?
We’re inherently black. Front to back. Inside and out. Something we might shout.
Don’t count us out cause we bounce back nine times a feline lives.
Then we leave our mark Like Maya,
“Still I Rise.”
Coming up with fly lines,
“Teach these devils.”
But we will no longer stoop down to your level.
