You Must Learn (LP Version)

I believe that if you＇re teaching history

Filled with straight up facts no mystery

Teach the student what needs to be taught

＇cause black and white kids both take shorts

When one doesn＇t know about the other ones＇ culture

Ignorance swoops down like a vulture

＇cause you don＇t know that you ain＇t just a janitor

No one told you about benjamin banneker

A brilliant black man that invented the almanac

Can＇t you see where krs is coming at

With eli whitney haile selassie

Granville woods made the walkie-talkie

Lewis latimer improved on edison

Charles drew did a lot for medicine

Garrett morgan made the traffic lights

Harriet tubman freed the slaves at night

Madame cj walker made a straightenin comb

But you won＇t know this is you weren＇t shown

The point i＇m gettin＇ at it it might be harsh

＇cause we＇re just walkin＇ around brainwashed

So what i＇m sayin＇ is not to diss a man

We need the 89 school system

One that caters to a black return because

You must learn

Chorus
