Just like I told you, you must learnIt's calm yet wild, the style that I speakJust filled with factsAnd you will never get weak in the heartIn fact you'll start to illuminateKnowledge to others in a songLet me demonstrate the force of knowledgeKnowledge reigned supremeThe ignorant is ripped to smithereensWhat do you mean when you say I'm rebellious'Cause I don't accept everything that you're telling usWhat are you selling us, the creator dwellin' usI sat in your unknown class while you're failin' usI failed your class 'cause I ain't worth your reasoningYou're trying to make me you by seasoningUp my mind with see Jane runSee John walk in a hardcore New YorkIt doesn't exist, no way, no howIt seems to me that in a school that's ebonyAfrican history should be pumped up steadilyBut it's not and this has got to stopSee Spot run, run get SpotInsulting to a black mentality, a black way of lifeOr a jet-black family, so I conclude with one concernThat you must learn(Chorus):Just like I told you, you must learnJust like I told you, you must learn[You Must Learn lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]I believe that if you're teaching historyFilled with straight-up facts, no mysteryTeach the student what needs to be taught'Cause black and white kids both take shotsWhen one doesn't know about the other one's cultureIgnorance swoops down like a vulture'Cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitorNo one told you about Benjamin BannekerA brilliant black man that invented the almanacCan't you see where KRS is coming atWith Eli Whitney, Haile SelassieGrand Bill Woods made the walkie-talkieLewis Latterman improved on EdisonCharles Drew did a lot for medicineGarrett Morgan made the traffic lightsHarriet Tubman freed the slaves at nightMadame CJ Walker made a straightenin' combBut you won't know this if you weren't shownThe point I'm gettin' at, it might be harsh'Cause we're just walkin' around brainwashedSo what I'm sayin' is not to diss a manWe need the 89 school systemOne that caters to a black returnBecause you must learn(Chorus)
