It used to be called common sense. It's possible that it's
not so common any more.
Attendance is key. Not showing up for class is by far the
biggest reason for failure at VHS.
from "Making Progress" by Blackalicious
Everybody gotta struggle, that's the way of the world
Can't develop biceps if you don't do curls
Can't achieve a a garden if you never water your crops
If you never paid your dues, then you don't get props

Couldn't eat a proper meal without cookin it first
Can't receive a paycheck if you don't do work
When you face adversities, dark clouds won't last
If it wasn't for the rain, then the trees won't grow
If you never study, how do you expect to pass?
When the spring came around, what a sight to bestow
The grasshoppers laid around while the ants did chores
See the cycle keeps moving like a big machine
When the winter came around, he was left outdoors
Evolution of the mind, soul body and being
Sometimes you even gotta learn from OTHER people's mistakes
God'll never put upon you more than you can take
So head on black people got to meet the task
Educate, keep learnin, gotta question, ask!
And let your light keep shinin and remember the past
By any means necessary, we'll be free at last
