They end up in the penitatry, man. They end up --------
They end up do the system. That's what happens to 'em.
It was that, don't wanna go to school, wanna sell drugs.
That's where they end up, man. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
In the hood, in the ghetto.
The only thing stop you -----, the only thing stop you
from making it, is your own self.
- No one else stop you from doing it - I like that. I like that.
But that's it. The only thing to stop you is yourself. Anything you wanna name.
- You can't blame the system. - You can't blame anyone.
(both) You blame yourself.
I think most of the problems there in educational system,
are cultural, quite frankly.
And everyone is afraid to use the "C" word. Culture.
Because everyone says, "Oh that's racist."
The school is good. It's the kids. That's basically what make it look bad.
What do we give them to make them want to get up in the morning
and feel --------- 'cause I'm going to school?
What are we giving them?
In one city, you can have just garbage schools up in our neighborhood.
And then down there, amazing schools, and you can't tell me that's not race base
The finger is always being pointed. "Oh, it's the student's fault",
"Oh it's the parents' fault", "Oh it's the teacher's fault".
It's you. It's not you, you, you.
You can't blame the system, you can't blame the school.
It's if you go, and you wanna learn, you learn.
If my school had been better, then I believed that I wouldn't had been
on the streets today, talking to you, nice people.
They're not taking that serious, we would take it serious
we are the one who is going for it.
Everybody sure is to blame, from the parents, on to
the administrators of the school.
Well, it takes a village to rise and shall, so...
