Verse 1:

The present curriculum, I put my fist in 'em  
Eurocentric, every last one of 'em  
See right through the red, white, and blue disguise  
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies  
Installed in our minds and attempting to hold us back  
We’ve got to take it back  
Holes in our spirit causing tears and fears  
One-sided stories for years and years and years  
I’m inferior? Who’s inferior?  
Yeah, we need to check the interior  
Of the system who cares about only one culture  
And that, is why we gotta take the power back
