Bless the Educator

Mr. Davis is the name Education is the game I'm a high school teacher Making my own lane And when I teach the youth Give nothing less than the truth Like Black is beautiful More than steal and shoot More than picking cotton Most textbooks are rotten Leave black stars forgotten The gems Du Bois was droppin' The songs of Miss Simone This nation we made a home We laid the crucial stones But redlined in zones The White House we built Yet our blood is spilt The frame has to tilt To see the whole picture Shine a light on the struggle Excellence it needs a fixture Black Wall Street We were really rocking witcha When were hearing these stories It's nice to put em in rhyme So much more than a Prezi Or Powerpoints all the time My students put em in verses No expletives or no curses The only rule in my class Just don't stop wearing that mask God bless my educators The movers and the shakers The daily innovators The mindful liberators We need ya We need ya God bless my educators The movers and the shakers The daily innovators The mindful liberators We need ya We need ya No child behind But no doubt you gone find They sold out the youthful mind So grown folk is going blind To the evils of society RIP sobriety We need a way to find the key To break up out the minor league It's time to build a dynasty Of POC and honestly We got the brains and got degrees Need leadership not eulogies More agency and salary Or I'll go catch a battery I'm simply saying what we need How could you be so mad at me Just think of all the minds we feed It takes some major strategy All life just starts out with a seed But not all grow so tragically End up dying in the dirt Or in the penitentiary So put this education first And that's just elementary God bless my educators The movers and the shakers The daily innovators The mindful liberators We need ya We need ya God bless my educators The movers and the shakers The daily innovators The mindful liberators We need ya We need ya
