Teachers, Don't Teach Us Nonsense! Lyrics - Future Without A Past - Leaders Of The New School

{Good afternoon, Mr. Mangini, good afternoon 

Yeah, I've got, ahh, three problems in my class 

The first one is the Dinco D, yeah, right 

He's always zonin' out, spacin', put him in detention} 

Don't ring the bell, I'm not comin' to class 

Teachers bein' preachers, how the hell can I pass? 

First day of school an' I would go to the rear 

With a blind spot view an' a one leg chair 

I asked when, what, when, what, when class ends 

The teacher points at the door, Go be with your friends 

Yup, my rep was in effect to keep in step 

So I stopped to drop bombs for a check 

'Cause all I learned was when, where, why, what an' who 

An' then I asked, "Do you think this is true?" 

Out like a strike that's three an' a number 

Public education is makin' some dumber 

Further an' further away, doin' it out of sight 

In a year, the young teacher should teach right 

No class for a pupil without a pass but gun 

Back in to pass but now in '91 

B-ball wavin', pom-poms to cheers 

Screamin' for the team, who asks 

"Where do we go from here?" 

{Second problem is the C Brown, yeah, right? 

He's always playin' kazoos, makin' outrageous noises 

Right, ad-libs, what should I do with him? 

Yo, put him in detention too} 

Well, how now brown cow? 

Make the girls go, Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh 

School is shaky, sometimes flaky 

Plenty frustratin', cheesy an' cakey 

Why? Ahh, why? Ahh 

Why? I was never on time 

Always cuttin', goin' to the gym 

Stem an' then I hear it's him 

The one, the one, C Brown 

This extra curriculum is beatin' them down 

Ask the teachers to teach me somethin' 

I can use because they're teachin' me nothin' 

I tried to comply, his lie never dies 

Inside, so I replied 

"What about life? The real 

Uncut uncensored deal 

I must not go, Ahh in class 

I won't pass, at last for the blast 

Stop the brainwash, hang out to dry 

Nonsense, I'm convinced it's lies 

Truth to the youth is necessary 

Important? Damn, I'd say very 

March, hut, one, hut, two 

C'mon, march, hut, three, hut, four 

I'd say just educate yourself 

Don't depend on your school for help 

Read an' write 'cause it's evidence 

'Cause teachers, yo, they be teachin' us nonsense 

{The last but not least it's a Busta Rhymes 

Yeah, I know which one you're talkin' about 

He's always talkin' to the girls, talkin' in class 

Startin' trouble, throwin' spitballs 

Yeah, he's a hardcore problem, uhh, detention} 

Yo, wake up in the mornin' to a big fat wow 

Gotta get to school, on time anyhow 

In school, the brainwash epidemic 

Gotta hit 'em back with a rhyme calisthetic 

Got enough beef with the kids who be switchin' 

Now I'm in school an' yo, the teacher starts riffin' 

This an' that an' yo, it's all irrelevant 

As I get older, gotta build my own intelligence 

Teacher, what are you doin'? 

Is it my rhymes that you're really tryin' to ruin? 

Back of the class, then I come forth 

The borderline between us, it's time to cross 

Me bein' the younger, him the elder 

If we were in a war, he thinks I surrender 

Kids on the block just scramblin' 

'Cause the teacher's in class just babblin' 

They're teachin' nonsense, teachin' total nonsense 

Then they wonder why we so disobedience 

He tried to break my back 

I come like black on the attack 

'Young and the Restless', teacher don't test this 

If you try to front, you'll be sure to get this 

Pow, boom, bang, straight to the grill 

Teach the truth, yo, relax an' chill 

Pronunciation, vexed, I'm pissed 

Yo, my man, you better stop teachin' us that nonsense 

Rarhh, there it go like that 

{Alright, Mr. Mangini, ahh, what do you suggest 

That we do about Busta Rhymes, Charlie Brown an' Dinco D? 

Those three problems? They're never gonna amount 

To anything anyway, throw 'em all out, expel 'em} 

Hell, no, we won't go 

Hell, no, we won't go 

Hell, no, we won't go 

Word up, word up 

[Incomprehensible]
