M.A.M - Schoolhouse Rock

Ooooh, I like that
For all my 90s kids, put a lil smile on ya face
We got work to do

Schoolhouse rock, way back when I was little, taught me zeroes could turn into heroes
How to skate figure 8s through the hate, how to deal with the love and the pain
That 3 is a magical number, and how to live on 7.50 a week
Back then, thought it was cheap- Kinda funny how cartoons, become reality
Once you feel the gravity, it's hard to stand
Once you find supply you become demand
Cornered by the lies, we're just secondhand, stupid breeds stupid, I'll say it again
Damn stupid breeds stupid, I despise those
Setting bars low-mine's in the sky
Feeling interplanetary call me Janet
I'll keep it simple so y'all can understand
Two plus two is four all work no play is hard
But if you check the score, blacks ain't on the board
Families starving, less we hit them lucky sevens
Not to mention that we're dealing twelve got

Struggles that you'll never know, shoulders carry heavy weight, so we just run in place
Scared like Mr. Morton, laziness it wasn't working
I was worthless, I'll admit
Till I found some purpose, writing verses
Bout to make the whole world jump, so hard
I make the school house rock

Until the bullshit stops
Until there's no more kings
Until I save me until I save us
Man we're way too important to lose
To the wars to the drugs and the booze
Number 9 I had to put em on the spot
It's insane man, I'm double agent
Cause nigga I'm twisting plot
Been broke for a min or two, in my boat then talking to you
Failure ain't an option ain't no off switch
On this body machine
There's more to life then counting the green
And getting hoes like tax man max
Sick and tired of alternative facts, the shit's whack all I know is
Two plus two is four, all work no play is hard
But if you check the score, blacks ain't on the board
Families starving, less we hit them lucky sevens
Not to mention that we're dealing twelve got

Struggles that you'll never know, shoulders carry heavy weight, so we just run in place
Scared like Mr. Morton, laziness it wasn't working
I was worthless, I'll admit
Till I found some purpose, writing verses
Bout to make the whole world jump
