Assata Taught Me (pg. 181) Lyrics by Skipp Coon

Miles Garvey

2014

[Verse]
I talk to God on the regular
In retro Jordans, a pistol and a cellular
Rock Ralph Lauren, make gospel for the secular
Sinners and heathens in my area, you a Judas Iscariot
Look I'm a Peter, I'm out here trying to be Paul
You a blood bank brother, I will make a withdrawal
When the war's on, I pray that I answer the call
I'd rather die fighting in it, not hiding with y'all
Get euthanized, you will die with your dogs
I'm on this corner like Boggs, brother I can get you applause
I'm Joe Clark, you just monitor halls
I'm working with my neighbors and brother you are hot on a blog
I'm in the streets with our people on the daily
In the classroom trying to educate our babies
Ain't no calvary, them white folks ain't coming to save we
And I am Toussaint if the southside Haiti
These deacons and dope boys raised me
Them clowns in your clique, who they with bruh? Barnum or Bailey
My weapons all registered, the coppers don't faze me
Look at the monster oppression has made me
A witness to street gangs, crack in the 80s
Cousins in the state, in the fed, in the navy
Sell 'caine, wear chains, drive a Mercedes
The weak go along and the strong go crazy
The weak go along and the strong go crazy
The weak go along and the strong go crazy
The weak go along and the strong go crazy
"The schools we go to are reflections of the society that created them. Nobody's gonna give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody's gonna teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that the knowledge will help set you free. Schools in America are interested in brainwashing people with Americanism, training them in the skills needed to fill the positions the capitalist system requires. As long as we expect America's schools to educate us, we will remain ignorant."
