City High Anthem City High

[Verse 1]
They just gave up on our entire generation
So we were all pushed to the side
'Cause we didn't see the world through our teacher's eyes
When all we needed was a little bit of motivation
But because we wore our pants saggin'
Y'all labeled us gangstas and said we wasn't worth the time
There are so many things I never asked you
There are so many things I still don't know, ooh-ooh
There are so many things you never told me
And still so many things that I will never know
And why? 'Cause I went to City High

[Verse 2]
A school with more dropouts than sign-ups at registration, mmm, yeah
And the pregnancy rate is at an all-time high (And we all know why, yeah)
Now, you would think the classroom's the place for mental stimulation, mmm
But it's some brothers outside sellin' that stuff
That'll really stimulate your mind (I'm talkin' 'bout gettin' high)
There are so many things you never showed me
There are too many things you let slip by
(Let 'em slip on, right on by)
How can I face a world that doesn't know me?
(Don't even know me)
A world that doesn't care whether I live or die
And why? 'Cause I go to City High
So...
