End of the Summer

1997

The classrooms and the smart girls 
It's the end of the summer 
It's the end of the summer 
When you hang your flowers up to dry 

And I had a dream it blows

She held on to his sleeves

Black boy in the back of a classroom
Talking bout behind the cabinets
Teacher thought she could hold me, but she ain't know me
My mind's a atlas

Real talk now, who's the king of New York now
And boys got safes in the house I got a vault now

They call me corny but I'm

But since when have classroom snubs made it in to policy?
Even someone who right now is content with everything
Can see beyond today

Only think of us as entertainment 
And their text books removing our enslavement 
Read beyond the pages my physical is ageless 
Can't make a statement

got to write this
I already wrote it

Could you please respond
If you're out there

That's what they said to me

We agreed that tomorrow they would feel our wrath
