The Knowledge

Insight to what's going onInformation keeps us strongWhat you don't know can hurt you badTake it from me you'll be walkin' around sadCryin' for a better dayUntil you educate for a better waySo if you wanna be in controlYa gotta get yourself in the knowChorus:Get the knowledgeThat you really wantThe knowledgeDo you really wantIt's the knowledgeWhat you really wantThe knowledgeThat you really wantSpreading vise don't believe the hypeYou don't find the knowledge in a pipeToo many lives go up in smokeIt's nice to laugh but don't be the jokeTo get over get betterTry to be the possessorOf the one thing we all need in lifeTo succeed take my adviceRepeat ChorusPrejudice No!Ignorance No!Bigotry No!Illiteracy No!Listen it's up to everyoneIf we're gonna change the way the world is runThe way to start is to rid the children ofPrejudice & ignoranceWe've gotta teach our kids to read & writeThat's the only way to win this fight for lifeEducation is the goal soIf you wanna be in the knowget the knowledgeIt's the one thing we all need in life
