City High Anthem Lyric City High CITY HIGH

They just gave up on our entire generation
So we were all pushed to the side
cuz 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
labelled us gangstas
And said we wasn't worth the time

There are so
many things I never asked you
There are so many things I still don't
know
There are so many things you never told me
And still so many things
that I will never know
and why, cuz 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 classroom's the place
for mental stimulation
But it's some brothers outside sellin' that stuff,
that'll 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 doesn't know me
A world that doesn't care
whether I live or die,
And why, cuz I go to City High

So, We don't
need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders 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 dyin' before they're born (Lord ain't
that the truth)
Too many young ladies cryin' with a daddy in the house but
not a father in the home (now y'all know there's 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 Mayfield's and all the Marvin
Gayes?
Man we really need 'em today

And there were so many things that
needed explaining
But you said it was too late for me to learn
You were
suppose to be my shelter when it was rainin'
But instead you left me out here
all alone, so I gotta make it on my own

We don't need your
education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders 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

For 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 prejudice, and the others who
were sure we couldn't fight the stress in life, for those of you who didn't
believe us, listen to my words for you, listen to your children sing to
you

We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are
the leaders 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

[Repeat x1]
