Boogie Down Productions ~ You Must Learn


Just like i told you, you must learn It's calm yet wild the style that i speak Just filled with facts and you will never get weak in the heart In fact you'll start to illuminate, knowledge to others in a song Let me demonstrate the force of knowledge, Knowledge reigned supreme The ignorant is ripped to smithereens What do you mean when you say i'm rebellious 'cause i don't accept everything that you're telling us What are you selling us the creator dwellin' us I sit in your unknown class while you're failing' us I failed your class 'cause i ain't with your reasoning You're tryin' make me you by seasoning Up my mind with see jane run, see john walk in a hardcore new york It doesn't exist no way, no how It seems to me that in a school that's ebony African history should be pumped up steadily, but it's not And this has got to stop, see spot run, run get spot Insulting to a black mentality, a black way of life Or a jet black family, so i include with one concern, that You must learn Chorus: just like i told you, you must learn (twice) I believe that if you're teaching history Filled with straight up facts no mystery Teach the student what needs to be taught 'cause black and white kids both take shorts When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture Ignorance swoops down like a vulture 'cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor No one told you about benjamin banneker A brilliant black man that invented the almanac Can't you see where krs is coming at With eli whitney, haile selassie Granville woods made the walkie-talkie Lewis latimer improved on edison Charles drew did a lot for medicine Garrett morgan made the traffic lights Harriet tubman freed the slaves at night Madame cj walker made a straightenin comb But you won't know this is you weren't shown The point i'm gettin' at it it might be harsh 'cause we're just walkin' around brainwashed So what i'm sayin' is not to diss a man We need the 89 school system One that caters to a black return because You must learn Chorus more free lyrics

Just like i told you, you must learn

It's calm yet wild the style that i speak
Just filled with facts and you will never get weak in the heart
In fact you'll start to illuminate, knowledge to others in a song
Let me demonstrate the force of knowledge,
Knowledge reigned supreme
The ignorant is ripped to smithereens
What do you mean when you say i'm rebellious
'cause i don't accept everything that you're telling us
What are you selling us the creator dwellin' us
I sit in your unknown class while you're failing' us
I failed your class 'cause i ain't with your reasoning
You're tryin' make me you by seasoning
Up my mind with see jane run, see john walk in a hardcore new york
It doesn't exist no way, no how
It seems to me that in a school that's ebony
African history should be pumped up steadily, but it's not
And this has got to stop, see spot run, run get spot
Insulting to a black mentality, a black way of life
Or a jet black family, so i include with one concern, that
You must learn

Chorus: just like i told you, you must learn (twice)

I believe that if you're teaching history
Filled with straight up facts no mystery
Teach the student what needs to be taught
'cause black and white kids both take shorts
When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture
Ignorance swoops down like a vulture
'cause you don't know that you ain't just a janitor
No one told you about benjamin banneker
A brilliant black man that invented the almanac
Can't you see where krs is coming at
With eli whitney, haile selassie
Granville woods made the walkie-talkie
Lewis latimer improved on edison
Charles drew did a lot for medicine
Garrett morgan made the traffic lights
Harriet tubman freed the slaves at night
Madame cj walker made a straightenin comb
But you won't know this is you weren't shown
The point i'm gettin' at it it might be harsh
'cause we're just walkin' around brainwashed
So what i'm sayin' is not to diss a man
We need the 89 school system
One that caters to a black return because
You must learn

Chorus

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
