Griot B - SchoolYard Rap

I use to wake up and to go to work as assistant principal
Daydreaming about doing this then go to sleep and dream some more
I made a plan, stacked my money quit my job 5 years ago
Half a decade grinding now I get to hear people go
I've been to a thousand schools in 20 states, Looked at every book, turned every page
And I only see a Black face in one place, About slaves -
Only time we teach about Latinos is the Alamo, Chinese its the railroads, Betsy Ross or Eleanor
Are the only women we ever know thats why each and every show
I let everyone of you know that your so asombroso
School Yard Rap, School Yard Rap, School Yard Rap, School Yard Rap
When I quit my job I gave up 6 figures to chase 8 and
I'm Looking at my bank account like mama I made it
I have a covenant with God not a deal with the devil -
He said work hard and give me credit you'll reach any level-
Black Owned business at your neck like the blade in a Bevel
I can say this with my chest greatest children's artist ever

I am him I do this, look around at students
Not one frown can be found, They love the sound of my music
Cuz it makes em proud, and prudent My masters thesis proved it
They learn they history while every beat Go dumb dumb dump stupid
While their IQ rising high too Then they find my iTunes
They feel pride - more Powerful than Escanor high noon
I told you I'm that guy your favorite teachers
Teacher Teaching every piece of history Some people make illegal
Play them trumpets cus im regal imma beat 'em im triumphant
They regurgitate this crt make this griot vomit
The youth need the truth, the youth need the truthz
They shouldn't have to wait till college to learn their history too
Primero teach about us and all that Black made
If we never learn nada how will we know that there're great
They found it first They crossed the waves,
Say Thank you then - Say their names
What you see when you put in work - is that you belong in hall of fame
I broke the mold, I wrote the code
I made the rules you follow them
Number one, is fun yup,
School should be fun
Imma break the cycle great like Micheal I even made disciples

Chose wisely like KOD I respawn. Like COD
I got different artist at your schools, spitting my rhymes they reppng me
They repping school yard rap on the school yard they rap
We just getting started spitting history facts
Matter fact DreDamost bring that track back

I'm shining like a diamond screaming SYR
They're saying I'm a star I'm like, Yes I Are
I mean Yes I am, I'm Blessed not Ham
Can you teach about white people? Well Yes I Can
I have love for all of y'all, No hate in me at all,
When I tell a Kid of color he can do more than ball
I got a third graders feeling like they eight foot tall

Confidence so high they belive they can dunk all on Lebron ,

That's why School Yard Rap rap like that
We put in work and trap like that
We need to know that the hood has never been our natural habitat
You need to know that you're intelligent
I promise you you are powerful
I told you that you're amazing
Believe that your beautiful

I use to wake up and to go to work as assistant principal

Daydreaming about doing this then go to sleep and dream some more
I made a plan, stacked my money quit my job 5 years ago
I promise to keep on grinding so that I can hear people go
Imma say this

School should be fun
