It Don't Start at Education

Education, education, education. Its funny how we fall below even primal nations.

My students are sufferig a lack of literacy and chance. Whilst my congressmen sit on their behinds and dance

My generation only thinks about drugs, money and sex.

The women enjoy spreading their legs.

The men love having the advantage only because our teachers didn't tell him how to be a real man.

Teachers don't start at education. They begin at birth.

Our children are tabula rasas made to be impressed and the impression is that our country doesn't give a shit.

Gang banging , drinking, and throat slitting. All because they emulated their teachers.

So I say this to the so called "ghetto folk"!

Give your children the education they deserve yo!

Not just about finance, math and english.

About how to get a job, be pleasant, be even!

Most of all give em some information about God!

You teachin' em how to go up and rob folks. You spit in tax collectors faces and run twenty paces.

Caught by the red and  blue. How can you explain this to your kids and spouses and family you leaving behind.

You don't give a f*ck. 

Self centered. Egotistic. 

Pride before the fall and now you'll fall the deepest.

There's a special place in the valley of death for those who ignore the request.

Feed your kids the Word. Give em a moral spine.

At least let them know the warmth of fingers intertwined.

Failure ain't an option.

To lose is death!!

I don't mean yourself, the one summoned for execution will be your birds' nest!!
