Education for me

July 14, 2013

Everyone talks about education

across nations

through television and radio stations

word of mouth

but nobody helps instead were stuck in space and

im up and down the hall pacing

i just want an education

while everyone else plays with their playstation

and stays stationed

talkin about crisises across the nation

people in power strip the rights of the public, naked

I wonder who will help

and who to tell

but only fools will hear my voice

mind stuck in a cell

is mine stuck in a cell?

constantly expanding

knowledge Im demanding

I just wanna hit these books like a kid whos found candy

In school to help my career

and this wisdom sincere

how can i lead the blind if i cant myself see clear?

nobody out here with the helping hand

while im walking on foreign lands

got a bit from uncle sam

nobody else gives a damn

but stilll i try

spending every night

chasing these dreams because the fire inside

so indeed i conclude

education is the key for those who dont have a clue

and even for those that do

no matter who you are

education is for you
