City High Anthem
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 labeled us gangster

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 dropouts than sign ups and registrations

Mmm yeah, 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 brothas outside sellin' that stuff

That will really stimulate

Your mind talkin' bout 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 May field'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

The 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

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
