Times A Wastin' ft. K.O. & Jacobi Ryan Lyrics

View!

Sunshine and blue skies

Walk with my head high

Lord knows the true prize

End of the day I gotta

Speak for a nation

Can't be complacent

No times a wastin'

No times a yeah

Move with a purpose my granny told me I'm worth it

Got me the hooked on phonics and made me learn it

Told me that knowledge is power you gotta earn it

Told me the world is mine and I deserve it

I'm just the child who was left behind I'm blessed to shine

All the flowers I'll give you yours I ain't get mine

Grew up with crooks got stories that probably leave you shook

Ran off to college found out I couldn't afford the books

Still had to chase it I wanted more for the younger world

I gotta be the inspiration for the boys and girls

Hello we educated but we out the ghetto

We came from nothing so we gotta get Mo

All that we know is that we gotta get dough

Send out a signal if you see the po-po

Giving love cause we ain't get enough

Imma an author from the bottom like Bettina Love yeah

Sunshine and blue skies

Walk with my head high

Lord knows the true prize

End of the day I gotta

Speak for a nation

Can't be complacent

No times a wastin'

No times a yeah

Sunshine and blue skies

Walk with my head high

Lord knows the true prize

End of the day I gotta

Speak for a nation

Can't be complacent

No times a wastin'

No times a yeah

Punished for dreaming

But I need a better reason

Ironic to me when

Y'all the ones who sleeping

All this corporate welfare but what about the ones who teaching

No child left behind but still so much our children needing look

We came too far to quit now as the hill steepens

We raising the bar and we still reaching look

They bombed the church and that man was still preaching

Student loans for some clothes just to feel decent look

Shout out the teachers who know it was what it was

And don't see the truth as a grudge, just because

Reagan claimed the war on drugs yet Reagan was the plug

How he call call us the thugs

Who made Reagan the judge

They gave us black banks but never gave us our land

Black Wall Street whenever we made a plan

I quit watching the news it's kids shooting up schools

And books teaching em truth is all that they wanna ban

Test standards ain't right they left handed

The good thing

The truth gon' always come to light, like it's red handed

CRT was only taught in law school

Wasn't even in high schools

Y'all don't even like truth

A teacher told his students USA made us slaves

White parents complain now he suspended five days

Red state blue state white history core curricula

They don't want the truth they want stories they benefitting from

Sunshine and blue skies

Walk with my head high

Lord knows the true prize

End of the day I gotta

Speak for a nation

Can't be complacent

No times a wastin'

No times a yeah

Sunshine and blue skies

Walk with my head high

Lord knows the true prize

End of the day I gotta

Speak for a nation

Can't be complacent

No times a wastin'

No times a yeah
