Heal yourself you got to heal yourself
3
(Kid Capri talks)
4
(Big Daddy Kane)
5
Mama said don't do crack and smoke you know
6
'Cause it will make your nose grow like Pinnochio
7
Since I was only 15 I had to listen
8
To what was said for my parent was a christian
9
I went to school and saw all my friends do it
10
But I said no 'cause I don't want my nose to grow
11
They started tripping on me, busting and flipping on me
12
So I had to front and say yo, true, stick it on me
13
I started smoking to prove I'm an adult
14
Now it's a habt but is it all my fault
15
I wished my mother would have told me the truth
16
'Cause now I'm all based out, ma dukes
17
(Kid Capri)
18
Oh man I like the way that's going down
19
Now why won't you do is kick a little Freddie Foxx
20
(Freddie Foxxx)
21
Everybody rise as I present to a jet black crowd
22
What it's like to be black and proud
23
In a world where white is right but not tonight
24
This is a black man's might
25
I heard a sister say she don't like darker shades of black
26
On a man 'cause that's wack
27
But to my light skin sister can't you tell
28
You're just the surface of a dark deep well
29
And how can you prefer to be wit those
30
That sprayed you wit gun and hoses
31
And never put roses on the graves
32
Of the slaves that they treated like dirt
33
After all that hard work
34
(Kid Capri)
35
Clap your hands to the beat, C'mon, just clap your hands to the beat
36
Freak it now
37
(LL Cool J)
38
One of the biggest lies you hear from no one else
39
Is when a girl tries to say she don't do it to herself
40
Always fantasizing but steadily denying
41
Last night she had to stop 'cause her baby was crying
42
She do it on the phone all alone wit a smile
43
Run the water, grab the shower cap and get buckwhyled
44
Soap suds on the floor, oh Al B Sure
45
Give it to me, give it to me, give me a little more
46
I'm fiending, creaming, screaming, dreaming (what else)
47
The girl's possess by the basehead demon
48
Chorus
49
(MC Lyte)
50
In Elementary, Lyte had the Jordache look
51
Like me and any other kid who cared about books
52
But then I got wise and I begin to listen
53
To the wack teachers and the wick-wack system
54
My mother put me in ?
55
Which means black school in Swahili
56
And there is where I learned black history
57
And how to be the best that I can be
58
I went back and now the school is closed
59
There is nowhere for black youth to go
60
To be taught by brothers and sisters who knows what it means
61
To be a black child or a white teen
62
In the end the youth is being mistreated
63
Which means the world is being cheated
64
(Queen Latifah)
65
Dane was never taught her life was worth something
66
But when people don't try to improve it makes me want to hurt something
67
You want to be somebody and be a standout
68
But got your handout, oh you're broke, I guess it's off to your man's house
69
Why is sister's giving up the ball
70
Today it seems not to father you too hard
71
They call us squeezers and you prove it to the worst
72
You have to earn the right to say it's ladies first
73
(Kid Capri)
74
Oh man this is Human Education Against Lies
75
You better know the flavor kid
76
(KRS-One)
77
Human Education Against Lies tries
78
To open the eyes of humanity before it dies
79
Black and white ain't the real fight
80
That's the only thing the media hypes
81
The real fight are these major corporations
82
Holding back on real education
83
Before you're a color, first you're human
84
Teaching humanity is what we're doing
85
(Kid Capri)
86
And just when you thought you knew everything there was to know
87
You didn't know anything about this, tell 'em Melodie
88
(Ms Melodie)
89
Daddy's home everyday since he lost his job
90
His new line of work is now beating up mom
91
Mom is scared, she doesn't know what to do
92
Her beautiful skin is now black and blue
93
She used to cry, now she's back in the pen
94
A human war between women and men
95
(Kid Capri)
96
Melodie, Kid Capri
97
(Jam Master Jay and DMC)
98
Jam jay on the way, yo

Human Education Against Lies
100
To all the girls and to all the guys
101
Get paid, get it made
102
Get a good grade, live to a very old age
103
Checking out jet, no disrespect
104
To each and every member of the opposite sexes
105
Is yes, listen to the messages and I send some
106
We never knew where the poison came from
107
Yo, we're rapping on H.E.A.L. so we thought we like to mention
108
Acquired Immune Defiency Syndrome
109
AIDS, we're here to make you get wise
110
Human Education Against Lies
