Truth

Aye, did I pass or fail?
Graduate or go to jail?
Who writes the test? Who define's success?
We all wanna win, play ball or rap
But when that don't happen, it ain't no goin' back
You drop out too young, now you just bustin' caps
Call it blue on red but it's really black on black
Cause the more we drop out, the more we go to jail
Like voluntary slaves, expected to fail
Listen up brother, you need to understand
Being truly educated ain't a part of their plan
We got tricked again and slicked again
Held back and not picked again
Short-changed and then chipped again, been slipped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want success, so do your best
If money's the only goal then we all gon fail
If greed is a crime then we'd all go to jail
If love is the answer why don't it pay the rent?
If patience is a virtue why's it all spent?
If religion is the way then why we all fightin'?
If mankind gon survive why we ain't united?
If the truth will set you free then we still lyin'?
Big criminals get up but the baby's still cryin'
If karma was real why don't we expect it?
If the earth is our mother then why neglect it?
We got tricked again and slicked again
Held back and not picked again
Short-changed and then chipped again, been slipped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want success, so do your best
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want success, so do your best
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want
Life's the test, keep the rest, we want success, so do your best
Did I pass or fail?
Graduate or go to jail?
Who writes the test who define success
We all wanna win, play ball or rap
But when that don't happen, it ain't no goin' back
You drop out too young, now you just bustin' caps
Call it blue on red but it's really black on black
Listen up brother, you need to understand
Being truly educated ain't a part of their plan
We got tricked again and slicked again
Held back and not picked again
The truth been flipped again and ripped again
