BrittanE - Higher Learning Lyrics

*Verse 1*

Pass the torch

Ms Education was an abbreviation

A prelude to the creation of an institution for the nation

Where tools for education don't depend on what yo mama making

Free registration for the kids of the ghetto

For the girl In the stilettos

Feeling flattered cuz the niggas try to holla when she wears those

Only attract niggas cuz she barely ever wears clothes

The biggest niggas got the smallest minds cuz they see low

For all the niggas who don't even know that they don't have to be those

I know a lot of niggas who are not black people

You got ya white nigga real quick to pull trigger

If he sees a black nigga with his sista

Kinfolk

Black ain't always ignorant

Ignorance isn't limited to darker shaded pigments or hip hop clothes

I done met some blue collard niggas hence popo's

Its a lot of real nigga stories left untold


So let the truth unfold

And if you don't wanna hear it I suggest that you keep your ears closed

I don't really smoke but I swear we bout to get


*Hook*

High

We High on life

High

We getting high all night

High


We bout to get

We bout to get


*Verse 2*

Down to the bottom of why we at the bottom

Separation reparations why we race then call it racism

Trying to get ahead instead of help a brother make it we

Blaming Uncle Sam for our failures really thinking he

Owe us cuz poor us

We can't afford to pay attention right

We live blind cuz we deaf and can't see the sign

And its a shame cuz we watch em every single night

I guess its safe to say the revolution is televised

New age slaves rocking

New age chains buying

New age whips wanting

New age change

Sounds a little strange huh

But thats how we came up

Working hard to save up to spend it on that lame stuff

We killing for that lame stuff

Sometimes I'm ashamed

When I see how much we hurt our own then post the ish online

Then we wanna holla crime when a cop gets outta line

They're just doing what we're doing to each other all the time


So let the truth unwind

And if you don't wanna believe you still can't say I'm lying

I don't really smoke but I swear we bout to get

*Hook*

Hiigh

We High on life

High

We getting high all night

High
