If they hunted by the blue free tuition to a state school

Lot of motherfuckers wanna wake up every day
Then they murder their own, but they know it's another way
Fuck all the violence and drugs

My people need to be re-educated into the importance of controlling the economy of our own community
I move through the grooves of time. I move cause

Many moves with hesitation so I lost the bids
Lady class past due, like I'm flunking out school 
Cus the moments that I made the cut
Went and fucked it

Throwing Cs and locking Bs
That went to school
But never long enough to get degrees
Whose stomachs
