January 17, 2003 Thoughts

On the shoulders of yesterday
I stand tall
I tried to play ball
But figured I'd go to college
On a Scholarship for knowledge
The aim was to clock some dollars
While the brothers that bothered our balance
Followed the steady trail of jail and no bail
Did the system fail?
Or did we just flunk the fuq out?

Or did we learn the truth about the system and say "fuq it...I'll make it another way...one that isn't so enthrived on the perpetuation of institutional racism"

sometimes this school thing ain't always what it's hyped up to be

eh, what do i know...i'm only a student

and I know you have a lyric for every post but this entire song has made its way to my 25 most played playlist...Pac's Hold Ya Head...Ahh, breath of fresh air
