The Education Gap

Where you went to class in the past determines your future social class The education gap is like a trap for deprived kids over the map Lack of education is an indication of supposed indignation Kids can’t achieve their dreams because they lack esteem They want to be scholarly but suffer from poverty They long for college but believe they don’t have the knowledge A zip code is an obstacle that prevents success Nevertheless, if your effort is excess then you will progress Even though the rich oppress the poor by saying “McDonald’s food won’t serve itself” They think we’re just “the help” Ding! Your order’s here They think we can’t get real careers Even though we had to work for all we got The best education should not have to be bought Imagine this: Everyone living in bliss While they reminisce growing up with a good education Men in fancy suits lookin’ like John McCain sippin’ on champagne Chasing after the American dream But we can’t all be on the same team Snap! Back to reality The monstrosity of poverty will swallow you whole And then you feel as if you can’t reach your goals They say “Climb back into that rabbit hole of which you call home” But they don’t have all control even if they try to console They say they ruined our goals but It’s us they should start to extol Because on them, I’m takin’ a toll
