So many thoughts man, I can't even type fast
They all say I wanna put Columbus on blast
He killed the Indians. Excuse me, the Nat. Ams
The OGs that were here before tomatoes and yams
Let me exchange a few facts for ya
Another nod that white supremacy is bad for ya
Yeah, but my people say it's bad for ya
Even though he sorta paved the way for passports
And pretty much everything else you see
A drive-by for my thoughts, they be chopping me
Are you willing to make a killing over one word
'Cause if you do, I think you're just as bad as they were
Wait. Imma take a step back
You ain't gotta agree with me, it's as simple as that
If you wanna form a stance on the words I say
Then listen close; I'm bout to strip away the wordplay
Change how Columbus Day is taught in the clasroom
It's like the world has put the day up in a glass room
Rethink how they teach about Columbus
Well, my opinion comes directly from the humblest
Glorify you not, but don't switch the alignment
Just give the facts and let the students decide it
Yeah. I wrote this on Columbus Day
The same day that they compound them fair days
And bear days, take a breath of fresh air days
They got the gall to make this day a waiver day
Dang
They cracking down on my life now
How long have they been doing me wrong now
2 or 3 years, now this new schedule
That goes back to STAAR because it's educational
No
All schools should be educational
That is what they're made for, not for making life a bore
And we the people... No, I take that back, "WE THE SENIORS!"
Decree that we deserve a better plan if you dig deeper
We've been working since calculators were nothing but beepers
And we never said that we would be your sleepers
We're the AP Testers, we're the overachievers
And in just a few months, we will all be seen as the leavers
I'm saying we're are the better ones, we are the conquerors
So if you don't mind, switch it back 'fore I go bonker-ers
The Conscious Rap Master is on sabbatical
He's back
Man
I'm starting to sound like Columbus
Take over other people's stuff like I own it
See what I mean about taking figurative pants
Give em the facts, so they can take up on their own stance
Change how Columbus Day is taught in the clasroom
It's like the world has put the day up in a glass room
Rethink how they teach about Columbus
Well, my opinion comes directly from the humblest
Glorify you not, but don't switch the alignment
Just give the facts and let the students decide it
Glorify you not, but don't switch the alignment
Just give the facts and let the students decide it
Glorify you not, but don't switch the alignment
Just give the facts and let the students decide it
Glorify you not, but don't switch the alignment
Just give the facts and let the students decide it
Yeah
Glorify you not, but don't switch the alignment
Just give the facts and let the students decide it
Done
