ATARIS - Let It Burn
Knowledge is key.
You can never know too much.
Well I won't let them
Keep me from learning all I can.
Public schools just stand up.
The system feeds our minds.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that supported slavery?
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.
I won't let you
Play me for a fool
But I cant pray in school.
Make a decision for yourself
Don't bother with any trends
Open up a book
And share the knowledge with your friends.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that created slavery?
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.
