City High anthem

by City High

Album: City high [#13]

They just gave up on our entire generation
So we were all pushed to the side
Cause we didn't see the world through our teachers eyes
When all we needed was a little bit of motivation
But because we wore our pants saggin'
Y'all labeled us gansters and you wasn't worth the time

There are so many things I never asked you
There are so many things you still don't know
There are so many things that I will never know
And still so many things that I will never know
And why? Cause I went to CITY HIGH

A school with more drop-outs than sign-ups at registration
And the pregnancy rate is at an all time high (we all know why)
Now you would think the classrooms' the place for mental stimulation
But there's some brothers' outside sellin' that stuff that will really stimulate your mind
(Talking about getting high)

There are so many things you never showed me
There are too many things you let slip by (let em' slip right on by)
How can I face the world that doesn't know me (don't even know me)
World that doesn't care whether I live or die
And why? Cause I go to CITY HIGH

We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaderes of your nation
We're gonna make sure the world survives
There ain't no justice, there's just us
What happened to the meaning of IN GOD WE TRUST?
So as we get older and our children grow up
We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us

There's too many babies dying before their born(LORD ain't that the truth)
Too many young ladies crying with a Daddy in the house
Not a father in the home (Now y'all know there's a difference)
What about all our young soliders being led astray (what about this negative music)
What happened to the Issac Hayes and the Curtis Mayfields
And all the Marvin Gayes
