Verse 1
G
D
Em
They just gave up on our entire generation
D
Am
So we were all pushed to the side
C
D
'cause we didn't see the world through
Am
G
our teacher's eyes
When all we needed was a
D
Em
little bit of motivation
D
Am
But because we wore our pants
saggin'
y'all labelled us gangsters
D
Am
And said we wasn't worth the time
Verse 2
Am
There are so many things
G
Bm

I never asked you

There are so many things
Bm
G
you never told me
C
And still so many things
that I will never know
D
And why
Verse 3
'cause I went to City High
G
A school with more drop outs than
D
Em
D
sign- ups at registration
Am
And the pregnancy rate
D
is at an all- time high
G
We all know why
D
Now you would think the classroom's the place
Em
for mental stimulation
D
Am
But there's some brothers outside
Sellin' that stuff
D
That'll really stimulate your mind
Am
(Talk about gettin' high)
Verse 4
Am
There are so many things
Bm
you never showed me
G
C
There are too many things you

let slip by
Em
(You let slip right on by)
Am
How can I face a world
G
Bm
that doesn't know me
C
A world that doesn't care
whether I live or die
D
And why
'cause I went to City High
G
So

(Lord ain't that the truth)
Too many young ladies cryin'

with a daddy in the house
G
But not a father in the home
(Now y'all know there's a difference)
D
And what about all our young soldiers
Em
be ing led astray
(By this negative music)
D
Am
What happened to the Isaac Hayes
And the Curtis Mayfield's

and all the Marvin Gayes?
Am
Man we really need 'em today

And there were so many things that needed ex
plaining

You were sup pose to be my shelter
