Dedicated to a real American Hero Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is the rap, that will end all the crap

It's just meant to be, a new start for our history

And I want you to know, that we don't call our girls HO!

And I want you to see, what we all can be

Martin Luther King, the greatest man of all time

Gave his life, to satisfy an evil man's crime

But he left a legacy, for all of us to see

To get an equal education, for you and me

Now if you don't know the game, let me explain

Because you are living here, in the United States of pain

You have to go to school, and study very hard

So when you grow older, you can afford a house and a yard

Now the only thing that matters, is to get the best of grades

So you can go to college, and introduce the whites to the shades

That's the way it is today, so don't try and fight it

Just learn the game, and one day we can right it

Because life is not easy, that's what we know

It can be a tough road, a tough road to hoe

Your gonna grow up fast, do you hear what I'm saying

Study hard now, and later you could be playing

Because it’s really up to you, to be the best that you can

So tighten up, lighten up, and become a successful friend

And don't get hyped, when friends say your trying to be white

Just look around your hood, and you will see an awful sight

You'll know right there, what you really have to do

You must study very hard, to make all your dreams will come true

It will all seem so simple, later on in your life

When you can sit down, and talk about it with your wife

But the bottom line is, that you made it through school

And now you’re the best you can be, because you are nobody's fool

Because without an education, you won't be going far

You'll end up drunk, hanging out in a sleazy bar

So you'll really make Martin proud, if you can go on to be

A Doctor, a lawyer, or a teacher of history.

Now remember these words, and keep'em close to your heart

Play the game right, and you'll be off to a great start

You'll be able to own a house, with a big back yard

Life will be great, and nothing will be hard.

Everything will come so easy, that's what I'm saying

So learn to read, learn to write, and you'll really be playing...the game of life!
