lesson one (tablo's word)

Singer:epik high

people um

i walk through the streets

everybody wanna change

you gotta do certain things

you know?

straight up

yeah

people

attention

education

knowledge

huh

yeah

i got something to say to my teachers

genius is not the answer to all questions

it's the question to all answers

brothers and sisters

yo. c'mon listen

do we learn math to add the dead sums?

subtract the weak ones

count cash for great ones?

yo

we multiply but divide the nation

break down like fractions

send our sons away to die

do we learn science in defiance of faith?

to make alliance with fakes for an appliance's sake?

we ask for the real to make artificial intelligence

to make smarter kills of others' presidents

why do we learn history? to fix stories for the guilty?

make angels look filthy and the devils look milky?

if the victor writes the books then what have we won?

are we battleships of authorship a rich man's guns?

do we learn to read to receive the lies

to deceive the eyes from seeing between the lines?

yo

we use words to bring forth sticks and stones

to sing songs of hate that fill the streets with bones

unseen or heard"
