Taajudeen - Bless the Educator

Mr. Davis is the name
Education is the game
I'm a high school teacher
Making my own lane
And when I teach the youth
Give nothing less than the truth
Like Black is beautiful
More than steal and shoot
More than picking cotton
Most textbooks are rotten
Leave black stars forgotten
The gems Du Bois was droppin'
The songs of Miss Simone
This nation we made a home
We laid the crucial stones
But redlined in zones
The White House we built
Yet our blood is spilt
The frame has to tilt
To see the whole picture
Shine a light on the struggle
Excellence it needs a fixture
Black Wall Street
We were really rocking witcha
When were hearing these stories
It's nice to put em in rhyme
So much more than a Prezi
Or Powerpoints all the time
My students put em in verses
No expletives or no curses
The only rule in my class
Just don't stop wearing that mask
God bless my educators
The movers and the shakers
The daily innovators
The mindful liberators
We need ya
We need ya
God bless my educators
The movers and the shakers
The daily innovators
The mindful liberators
We need ya
We need ya
No child behind
But no doubt you gone find
They sold out the youthful mind
So grown folk is going blind
To the evils of society
RIP sobriety
We need a way to find the key
To break up out the minor league
It's time to build a dynasty
Of POC and honestly
We got the brains and got degrees
Need leadership not eulogies
More agency and salary
Or I'll go catch a battery
I'm simply saying what we need
How could you be so mad at me
Just think of all the minds we feed
It takes some major strategy
All life just starts out with a seed
But not all grow so tragically
End up dying in the dirt
Or in the penitentiary
So put this education first
And that's just elementary
God bless my educators
The movers and the shakers
The daily innovators
The mindful liberators
We need ya
We need ya
God bless my educators
The movers and the shakers
The daily innovators
The mindful liberators
We need ya
We need ya
