Freddie Gibbs - Education Lyrics
[Intro:]
Ooh Maisha T, aaj pehli baar tum ne kaam ki baat ki hai
Education
[Yasiin Bey:]
Peace preparatory school, emperors and conquerors
Pharaohs and followers
Goblins and monsterers
Stone heart jewels and gold for the fools
The bones of the innocent is buckles on they boots
The jail overcrowded, they emptied out the school
See the devil twitchin', ears itchin' from the truth
Strange fruit, cyanide, soufflé, and soup
It's tasty for a few and murder for the group
A dead-end street with a lemonade stand
That question is hard if you can't see the stars
I'm really not sure, ask me tomorrow
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
Or both, but nah, son, I couldn't just chill
Everybody gigglin', that kid was gettin' killed
And I knew when I stood they would turn on me
And I don't need no more trouble with my sleep
So I did what I did and that's what it is
Tell the sheriff and the deputy I don't give a fick
Tell my mama and my kin and all of y'all and them, it's like this
Get free and stay sick
And that's it
An education
[Black Thought:]
Peace parishioners, onlookers, and listeners
Visitors keepin' the consumption conspicuous
Kids graduatin' from public schools and prisoners
Underprivileged, aboriginal, indigenous
Sent images of that family that got adopted
The president of some nonprofits is out of pocket
I heard the world ending is trendin', I tried to watch it
I focused on sinnin' when winnin' was not an option
The system we compete against is farm to table hand
Pickin' them ingredients, civil disobedience
Encyclopedia, definition of greediness
Gluttony, please take heed of who you treaty with
Me, Freddie, Flaco, and Shot never forgot though
That Plymouth Rock landed on top of new Morocco
Couldn't see who was firin' shots, the shooter got low
And left a burnin' cross on the lawn just like a pothole
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
They sayin the six bands are higher for the flight
So I may be a hitman for hire for the night
If you're figurin' this man's maniacal, you're right
Bar codes on the wristband, it's not an oversight
They intentionally expand, probably to extradite
If you wanna play blind, just look straight into the light
The puppeteers playin' you for spite
And worldwide, what we're payin' is the price
And that's life
An education
[Freddie Gibbs:]
Wooden leather buck talk
China white with cut talk
Kane train, a ho could never put me in a Slut Walk
Education, trap-onomics, narcotic plug talk
My hands was right back in the birds soon as they took the 'cuffs off
Gotta feed your fuckin' wolves or they gon' feed on a nigga
It's quite ironic how all this ice'll keep the heat on a nigga
My cousin beat me for a pack and I put the beam on a nigga
And I don't gotta finesse the plug because I Deebo that nigga
Used to be peace and O's, drop am opp like pop's stinky load
Last Friday hit by the pos, too dope in the commode
Got off the stove and slowed my role, I'm in the mosque now
But I'll still serve you a baked potato Bobby Johnson style
You ain't lit, you litter like Trump Twitter feed
Black mobster shit, I'm more Melvin Willams than Genevieve's
Them fist fights had me swappin' blood with my enemies
You ain't from no set if you wasn't gangbangin' in Little League
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
A million fuckin' dollars a year just won't suffice
Got a factor in that more bad habits and the cost of life
Cost of life, uh
We stay so high, that's why we can't come up
My credit score is zero, I'm still pullin' Ranges up
Them cash counters is counteractive
The paper cuts gas by a pump like when Dominque used to lace some up
I changed it up, I pray the streets don't take what's left of me
Drugs for the free, soul sold separately
Education

Freddie performing this on tiny desk was incredible.. this are work tho .. blowing up the city while u are hiding in the hills in Hollywood .. why not burn hollywood😒
black thought took this one🌐🌐🌐
This track is low-key the most classic track of 2019 🔥🔥🔥
This shit is pure heat who produced the beat!!!???maan its a breath ah fresh air having this with the Gods rhyming over it.🙏🙏
Madlib, the loop digga.
He produced this album on an iPad!
This track legit describes the sociopolitical panorama of the past decade within 4 minutes and 23 seconds. I will forever get chills from hearing this.
Whos beat is this? Cause Nas used this beat on his Bonjour song
Carter Peggy Madlib originally sampled this beat.
This is the origin of the sample tho >
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=94t1qMr-Pz4
@Vira Lata woahh thanks I guess
Thank you I guess? This person is doing the work of God answering all the questions lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥repeat
Same sample of 'Bonjour' by NAS
THE REAL HIP HOP IS OVER HERE!
Nas got a song to this beat..
Yeah, it was probably one of the beats that madlib sent to Kanye, and Kanye just flipped it a bit. Both dope tracks tho.
I love that shot at 21 savage and amber rose
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYn0aFNhBTo
🔥☠
This has to be one of the best sample flips I’ve ever heard
Arguably the best song on this project.
Fire spittin Kings.....please 🤨🔥🔥🔥🔥
Samplé par fuzati dans son cauchemar de la fin de l'espèce
That beat.... speechless....
Real hip hop!
booooyyyyy!! you know all those bars flew over my head!! I love songs like this that demands replays!
Just a stunning song.. some things cant be explained
Every verse left my spine tingling.
Mos Defs verse is the story of these last few years, such an amazing rapper.
They murdered this
2:15 love when the sun explodes
wait ive heard this instrumental on nasir im confused is this like an og beat?
Jason madlib is the OG of the beat. He did this back in 06
The Beat & the Melody 🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like how Madlib will sample something Ye did and Ye shit won’t be touching his
Larry Bostic Kanye sampled this from madlib
Jay electronica would so perfect on this track.
I needed some hip hop in my life....❤🖤✊🏿
Wow awesome track
The beat reminds me Bonjour from Nas
Same sample you ñema cara
holy moly where have i been, god bless my ears . its been a bit since ive had this feeling of discovering a new artists and listening to every song for the first time. xmas came early for me .
"Litter like Trump's twitter feed!"
4:03 make me wanna play cruisin USA
2nd verser
Not usually a fan of rap or hip hop, but damn, this album is amazing.
" Underprivileged, Aboriginal, Indigenous "
yall reaching like a mouthafucka stop that black muslim Israelite bullshit conspiracy that " bLaCk FoLkS ArE thE ReAl iNdIgEnOuS pEoPlEs Of ThE aMeRiCaS" we took in black runaway slaves in our tribes and protected them from the white man and reproduced with them hence the pictures of black people in Native american regalia from a long time ago you see,that these Israelite clowns use to make this claim yall worse then flat eathers
@james wood I think you should lighten up. You can literally read that same line backwards and it will make more sense; “indigenous aboriginals” talking about the “original” man coming from Africa (that man being black) who so happen to be “underprivileged” in various societies across the globe...😪
Man these bollywood samples are goin crazy LOL
best rappers alive 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
who made this artwork?
Mos def on a Madlib beat? Sounds formilier.
Lol the indian sample tho oooohh my shakti
Plymouth rock landed on top of new Morocco.... oh my🤔 think about that one fellas.
Too dope 😎✅🔥
Stay Woke... 🙏
Drop an opp like Pops stinky load. RIP John Witherspoon aka Pops
R.I.P. to pops stinky load
DATS ONE FOR THE AGES

They go in one way, they come out crazy
Peace preparatory school, emperors and conquerors

The bones of the innocent is buckles on they boots

See the devil twitchin', ears itchin' from the truth
Strange fruit, cyanide, soufflé, and soup
It's tasty for a few and murder for the group
A dead-end street with a lemonade stand
Where is the sky in upside down land?
That question is hard if you can't see the stars
I'm really not sure, ask me tomorrow
I may not be here
I'm feelin' like I might just leave before I start a fire or a fight
Or both, but nah, son, I couldn't just chill

Yasiin Bey is insane
excellent. mosdef.
Got Off The Stove, Slowed My Roll I’m In The Mosque Now,
But I Still Serve Yo Baked Potato Bobby Johnson Style 🔥🔥🔥🔥
GatDamn Freddie
"ain't from no set if you wasn't gang bangin in little league" freddie simply did not have to go that hard, but I am grateful he did
good vibes man
I’m literally frozen in my seat right now. Like I just witnessed the Sunrise. Just pure Dopeness.
Madlib is a God and Dilla was the the Universe
Who set the world on fire🔥💀😱😈
Black Thought 🔥🔥🔥✊
THIS GOES HARD
Black Thought hit me with one of the greatest verses I've ever heard.
🔥🌐🚀
field mice lolz
stone hard jewels= hard knock dummies
still identifying with first, next, and last friday
This was made on a Ipad
Just wow
My credit score was 0 I'm still pulling wages up lmbooo
One of the great rap tracks/events of our generation. The beat is an instant classic. And 3 of the greatest lyricists of our time doing what they do best. Need I say more. The result is a perfect piece of hip hop.
I love how Mos def keeps saying he is retired, but comes back continually and drops bombs like this.
Why did it take me 2 months to hear this for the first time? Music with a message isn't what they want us to hear so its important that you keep putting out AUDIO GOLD .
Plymouth Rock landed on New Morocco, OMG! 🤦🏾♂️
Madgibb is at it again
So that's what it is Gangsta Gibbs...
I heard the world endin is trendin... I'm trying to watch it.
You go in one way. You come out crazy. 🤔
That's what I was thinking like wait lool
Priceless art, i always appreciate the labor of love emcees give for true art. Its rare.
This ain't a song this is a masterpiece Audiobook 📖
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
RAP= whatever you make it. They made it poetry.
Mos def! I lose a lot of role models, but you remain one. Mos def! Thank you
Education > Bonjour
Gibbs slept on af, anyone who says otherwise is a hater.
"Plymouth rock landed on new Morocco" Black Thought spitting that knowledge
What's that mean exactly?
Bonjour
0:00 "Ooh, my Shakti, aaj pehli baar tum ne kaam ki baat ki hai"
This is Hindi for, “This is the first time you’ve said something useful.”
Thank you 👌
Best song on the album
