(Pick it up flip it open x2)
2
[Verse 1: Bambu]
3
A by-product of that LAUSD education, miseducated
4
While my peers graduated I's waitin' on my arraignment
5
In a day room I'm shiftin through torn books in a room
6
Ironically in better condition than at my school, now
7
I couldn't quite finish a whole book
8
And until I discovered my notebook
9
I found that I wasn't accustomed to processing nothing I read in a school book
10
Then I started building, dialoging with all my elders
11
Sharing shit that these authors would piece together with letters and
12
Now as an adult I see the error in my schooling
13
And why the shit in syllabus readings made me feel stupid
14
Cause the relevance to me
15
Was irrelevant in my teens
16
The fuck did half this shit have to do with me being me huh?
17
And later as I grew up
18
I found more connection in a book than in the hood I grew up
19
Girls I used to fuck with used to bug
20
When I request that we skip the DVDs and grab Assata off the shelf
21
Let's try and flip through every page
22
Your voice reciting wisdom that's gonn' get your ass laid
23
Then we use that book to break bud
24
Break it down chop it up
25
Break it down let's chop it up
26
Break it down chop it up
27
Break it down let's chop it up
28
And grab another book (smoke!)
29
Grab another book
30
[Hook]
31
Yeah I know it sound corny but
32
(We should read some books x3)
33
If I'm lying then I'm dying, straight up
34
(We should read some books x3)
35
Yeah I know it sound corny baby
36
(We should read some books x3)
37
If I'm lying, then I'm dying, straight up
38
(Pick it up flip it open x2)

[Verse 2: Prometheus Brown]
40
I was light weight college educated but I never graduated
41
Professors on that bullshit, I ain't have the patience
42
Find myself sleeping through academic proceedings
43
Staying up most evenings, writing, fucking or reading
44
Seeing lectures while weeded
45
And staring at some cleavage
46
Learning big words having very little meaning
47
Jesus even in the meetings I was seeking
48
A reason to explain this game without the twenty page thesis
49
A view without class that's a class without a teacher
50
Or a struggle rapper takes but without the thousand features
51
Scholar not collegiate but intelectually seasoned
52
Having drunk conversations over very sober readings
53
Maybe sober contemplations over very loaded readings
54
Where bookmarks mark where we (Oof!) and we (Ah!)
55
Here we are, 2012, they're like "What the fuck's a book?"
56
I'm like "Look, It's the quickest way to get up out your hood!"
57
Not from knowledge but the knowledge with practical application
58
Not reading for escaping, but knowing where you came from
59
Burning through those papers when I'm burning through the pages now
60
Break it down, chop it up
61
Break it down and smoke it up
62
Break it down, smoke it up
63
Break it, then chop it up
64
Grab another book, grab another book
65
[Hook]
66
(Pick it up flip it open x2)
67
[Outro: x2]
68
Paper back, hardcovers
69
Langston Hughes, ask your mama
70
Show love to them bookworm brothers
71
Mind buff, language tough
72
I like a dude that knows what's up
