They just gave up on our entire generation
So we were all pushed to the side cuz we didn't see the world through our
teachers eyes
When all we needed was a little bit of motivation
But because we wore our pants saggin' y'all labelled us gangstas
And said we wasn't worth the time
There are so many things i never asked you,
There are so many things i still dont know,
There are so many things you never told me,
and still so many things that will never know,
And why, cuz i went to city high
A school with more dropouts than signups and registrations,
Mmmm yea, and the pregnancy rate is at an all time high(we all know why)
Now you would think the classrooms the place for mental stimulation,
But theres some brothas outside sellin that stuff that will really stimulate
your mind(talkin bout gettin high)
There are so many things you never showed me,
There are too many things you let slip by,
How can I face a world that doesn't know me
A world that doesn't care whether I live or die,
And why, cuz I go to City High
So, We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders of your nation
We're gonna make sure the world survives
There ain't no justice there's just us
What happened to the meaning of in God we trust
So as we get older and our children grow up
We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us
There's too many babies dyin' before they're born (Lord ain't that the truth)
Too many young ladies cryin' with a daddy in the house but not a father in the
home (now y'all know there's a difference)
And what about all our young soldiers being led astray (by this negative music)
What happened to the Isaac Hayes, and the Curtis Mayfield's and all the Marvin
Gayes?
Man we really need 'em today
And there were so many things that needed explaining
But you said it was too late for me to learn
You were suppose to be my shelter when it was rainin'
But instead you left me out here all alone, so I gotta make it on my own
We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders of your nation
We're gonna make sure the world survives
There ain't no justice there's just us
What happened to the meaning of in God we trust
So as we get older and our children grow up
We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us
For people who did believe, what we could do to change our future, you knew the
world was in our hands, help build them strong so they can withstand, all the
pressures, all the war, all the prejudice, and the others who were sure we
couldn't fight the stress in life, for those of you who didn't believe us,
listen to my words for you, listen to your children sing to you
We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders of your nation
We're gonna make sure the world survives
There ain't no justice there's just us
What happened to the meaning of in God we trust
So as we get older and our children grow up
We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
