The Supreme Court
has ruled on public school choice
Black folks kids in failing schools
sing hallelujah
It's time to rejoice
You are no longer forced
to endure sub-standard education
Send your kids to another school
a better school
have them mix with the progressive population
But if you go
be prepared to learn
the system must provide transportation
that should not be an excuse
the least of your concerns
Now is the time to take control
Parents of black children
have a most important role
It's in your home the spirit of education begins
outside of the classroom our children have much to learn
so they can get what they want from life
be part of America's greatness
without losing a turn
But if we do things the same old way
sacrificing education for play
making education a low family priority
in all the things you have to do
it won't matter where your kids go to school
your kids will fail there too
