People won’t you listen

People won’t you listen
When I say this I’m simply not dissin
Education, know that you need it
You need it, believe it, conceive it

I know ’cause I’ve been there
So let me share these few words with you
And let it be understood
Keep your mind fixed in ’96
Education is the key
Stay behind me Satan not in front of me
Times are hard for the brother man
Start now prepare for you a better man
Keep your head in those books
You just don’t know what it took
The blood stains remain from the innocent
Can you see why I recommend it?

Bridge:
(Come on believe, come on believe, come on believe, come on beleive)
(Come on believe, come on believe, come on believe, come on believe)
(Come on believe, come on believe, come on believe, come on believe)
(Come on believe, come on believe, come on believe, come on believe)

Repeat Chorus

Deep South, Underground Railroad
The Holocaust you know, in Nazi Germany
Bloody path to opportunity
Here is a window open it up so you can see now
Don’t let their work be in vain
The pain, the shame, some went insane
When they took of their own seed
Crushed against a stone
Ooh dirty wrong, oh so dirty wrong
Sold for a penny and a dime and a nickel
Thought we were simple I beg to differ
And now we’ve got to strive for the right
Stand up for the right, stand up for the right

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus

Won’t you listen…
Repeat Bridge (with stepouts)

Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)

Repeat Chorus and Bridge (together)
