GREAT APES LYRICS

"Class(war) Room"

state the facts
it's an economic achievement gap
there's no equality in abject poverty
first things first
they were left behind at birth
taught to fail
while we prevail
it's not a school
it's a prison system
it's class in a room
and they can't bloom
in this darkroom
at home it's hell
no support
no way to quell
and the anguish swells
while we exhale
it's a viscous life
the stem of youth and the knife
12 grades of strife
while we bloom under warm light
it's not a school
it's a prison system
it's class in a room
and they can't bloom
in this darkroom
we pledge allegiance to greed
to the haves having everything they need
with odds like this the nots won't succeed
the irony of the milk and honey creed
equal opportunity will remain the talk of fools
until every kid in the ghetto has a five star school
