  • I WANT THIS SONG TO BE PLAYED DURING MY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION!!!!!!

  • @thelittlepeople123 good luck with that...a teacher got suspended for just handing out the lyrics to his senior english class to analyze

  • @nickm34456 really?! wow, cuz at my high school were listening to these guys' music in border studies class. interpreting the messages about colonialism , socialism, civil rights, etc. And we analyze the lyrics on a hand out.

  • @thelittlepeople123 well your school is better then, just look up "teacher gets suspended for commencement day" in google and you'll see the story about it

  • BEST FUCKING SONG IVE EVER HEARD

  • You guys don't understand even what this video is about! Listen to the lyrics, it's about how screwed up the education system, "three out of four will drop out in two years, add it up and it equals some shit has gone wrong."

  • im graduating in 2012 i want this to play on my commencement day

  • fuck school man i hate this shit

  • Thank god for the running start program

  • @toppspin24 Not really. There are teachers who are passionate about what they do, those classes, those are worth it.

  • @toppspin24

    HIGH SCHOOL is a joke.

    School doesn't start until you make it to college.

    I remember having the carry bathroom passes once upon on time too.

  • Graduating Class of 2011. Commencement Day played at my graduation. ☮

  • Graduated this year, 2011. Time to make something of ourselves.

  • i will remember this song till class of 2012!

  • I graduated last night and will be going to UW in the fall. This song means so much more now

  • The anthem for today! My graduation. Class of 2011!!

  • We deserve better! Our generation will be responsible for reform or revolution!

    Some Blue Scholars and Immortal Technique. Fill the day with knowledge!

  • got in my car after graduation today and put this song on. i'm surprised people have heard of these guys in ohio lol

  • this song makes me sad because my MOM is underpaided as shit

  • this song makes me sad because my MOM is underpaid as shit

  • The senior class of 2011 of my school graduates this Friday.

    Thursday is the last day of school.

    I'm blasting this song, just for them.

    Congrats seniors.

  • I listen to this song in class...

  • their new shit doesn't compare to this. i miss the old Blue Scholars. i'm still a fan, just prefer their earlier shit way more... this, fucking classic. 1st album, fucking classic. Bayani, one of the best hip-hop album of all times

  • Haha this song is so true.

  • 4 people sit on the school board.

  • CLASS OF 2011!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO FINALLY

  • They feed us so much bullshit about terrorism and what not at school I just feel bad for the dumbasses who soak it up like this war is different somehow. Fuck the nwo, it's gotten to the schools now fuck the illuminati they're poisoning the minds of the youth. We need to end this shit!

  • Damn, I've been listening to Bayani for a minute now, but I just go hold of Long March. So fucking good <3

  • this song defines REAL music

  • why do people dislike this?

  • @averat23 They're probably school administrators.

  • i wanted this song for our last day at school before graduation in germany...but nobody except me wanted it

  • @diamondsfromus weil mann so etwas nicht leicht verstehen kann wenn es dir nicht gefaellt. Aber echt ein top jam!

  • People are far too dynamic to learn from an assembly line kind of schooling. Bureaucratic curriculum.. what a load of shit. We're not fucking machines!

  • When people ask me why i'm studying to be a teacher, i should just pull this song up and hit play.

  • I live in Idaho and now this asshole Tom Luna nis attempting to make online classes manditory. I think in the future everyone is going to be socially and academically retarded if we don't do something now. Kids need to actually learn in school.

  • @bookoodiggydow Why would online classes be mandatory? That makes no sense.

  • @Wolfsrain90 Because apparently teachers are a waste of money.. which they would spend on laptops for the online classes. Total bullshit.

    

  • @bookoodiggydow Wow. Education really is going down the shitter nowadays. Hard to believe that society's most important public work is being outsourced. To machines, no less.

  • THUMBS UP if you sat between the knuckle heads and the pet monkey

  • Just started listeneing to Blue Scholars. This is some real stuff, being a high schooler I can relate to how some kids really have no chance at school.

  • @bookoodiggydow They do have a chance, hat they don't get their shit together.

  • @ployter94 Some of us don't think one directionally like they want us to. The school system oppresses creativity. Some of us can't sit still, we need to MOVE to think. I personally have a hard time thinking while sitting down, I start fidgeting and looking around. Some people are lazy, yes. But the material they teach isn't based on real life. It doesn't seem relavant to them, and they're right. They teach things that are for business and not life. That's capitalism for you.

  • @rwcwetback Even so, personally I have started realizing how crucial the material in school is and well I am starting to make connections. We do live in a capitalistic country, world etc., but that doesn't mean we have to be oppressed and submit to such ideas. We just have to strive once we realize how crucial it is for our survival.

  • 4 people did not pass the commencement day.

  • if only people wheren't so simple theyd appreciate good music

  • @Deceitfulrenki the complicated never get congragulated

  • I am a senior and this song speaks to me.

  • we shouldnt care what has more views that something else. this is an amazing song, and an extra million views isnt going to change it. the good part of having little views is that their audience is only people who have to dig to find them, and those people like them. that way, theres no haters. i mean, 177 likes, 4 dislikes? thats some serious shit.

  • Magic.

  • i luv this song and the vitamin c graduation song !!!

  • its sad that this song only has 36k+ views while justin biebers shit has almost 400 million

  • @JordanMiller7 well said

  • @JordanMiller7 id rather this stay non mainstream

  • @JordanMiller7

    The reality is that Industry doesn't care for Independent artists. All they care about is making up profits and marketing them to the younger generations who no clue what's going on. This kind of music brings out social messages that's going on in the communities, if only people pay attention to decode the lyrics.

  • @JordanMiller7 i am adamant that vevo froze the dislike counter but not the view counter. there is no way the stats are right with all the groups spamming his vid

  • @JordanMiller7 Why is it sad? I dont wana be like them

  • @FLYBYNIYT because most of those people will never hear this song, or any other music with messages like this

  • @jordanm7 most people wouldn't get the messages anyways.  we are a gifted society....

  • UW Alumn... They (blue scholars) have really created a sub-culture of hip-hop at UW that is actually something tangible. It makes the campus a great place to be. People actually question the Profs. and we all benefit from it. Thanks, Guys.

  • Maybe if they’d play this over the loudspeakers at school, kids would stay in schoool

  • A school teacher got put on leave for playing this to his english class... Goes to show, the school system is fucking bullshit.

  • Aight, who ever disliked this, show yourself

  • A dislike? What the hell!?

  • TRUE TRUE TRUE!!!GANDA NG LYRICS!

  • A teacher in Spokane, WA was put on paid leave because he passed out lyrics of this song to his seniors on the first day of class.

  • to the graduating class of 2000 whatever

  • a teacher at my school got suspended for passing out the lyrics to this song to is SENIORS! 17-18 year olds! we hear worse shit than that every fuckin day in the hallways!! its fuckin ridiculous!!

  • @dudeononewheel i heard. thats dumb as fuck! and when your 17 years old you can go to a rated R movie? WTF? hell you can buy the album by yourself at that age!

  • @eXpLiiiSiT im pretty sure you could buy this album if your like 10. idk if it has an explicit sticker or not

  • @dudeononewheel heard about that, the district's excuse was "it had swears in it" fuck'n bullshit

  • @Zachdudeio2 in the newspaper it said that the song had sexual refrences and innuendos in it. but he was aloso in trouble for some stuff that happened last year also, but still. all because ONE kid complained..... so dumb

  • if there were seeds planted in highschool then breh im the thick stalk thats growing from that seed. lol this song is dope i question everything i hear about

  • An American high school diploma indicates that the bearer is as educated as most other countries' ninth graders.. Community college is their way of making you pay for the education they promised you for free. Work harder than they want you to and you might just accidentally wind up with an ACTUAL education. Do only what they want you to and you wind up with the education of a slave.

  • @MHPSpokane Probably the best wisdom I have heard/read today thank you.. the only thing better was this song

  • @Chemlover123 You clearly don't understand the song... or the state of the public educational system today, it's not because it's hard, it's because you can be a straight "A" student and ride the short bus and wear a helmet. Excelling at shitting doesn't prepare you for success, like how we're made to shit out 5 paragraph essays that require mild knowledge of sentence structure to get high marks on.

  • @AfuzzAmro I think that extends even more to college. Here we are in a "bad economy" and the credit card biz has been screwing the hell out of everybody for years, funding cut to schools and tuition going up and they are trying to convince young people a crippling college loan is the way to start life.

  • @BigBrokenPants College loans aren't necessarily crippling...

  • @GeometryInStatic ya if u want to go to college for a year and no longer

  • @Chemlover123 You're a fucking idiot. Geo (rapper) GRADUATED COLLEGE. If you're going to attempt to diss Blue Scholars atleast know your facts,

  • @Chemlover123 no u have it all wrong this is what real music is uv just been brainwashed ..

    go listen to lil wayne or some other fake mainstream shit.

  • @Chemlover123 You don't have the right to look down at people. If you don't like it then don't click the link. I would love to have an actual argument over the content if you want but if your just gonna throw around open insults then shut the fuck up.

  • This song is pretty much the story of my life... literally.

  • "why we write songs like this man no ones gunna chnage?....i ouno man maybe someone out there will" hahaha

  • Bad thing, teacher got suspended/maybe laid off? hope not. Good thing, there ARE teachers out there who know good inspiring, conscious music and try help broaden their student's minds.

  • Yay i go to shadle... I still dont know what teacher got laid off for this stuff. Fuck the district for not accepting... All they did was print the lyrics for this song not like they rapped it in class. But hey life sucks. I think this teacher is going to have alot of people backing him/her up... Plus the lyrics arent even bad... Ohhh they said "Fuck" Omg they said " Shit". To all of the parents out there that think this is lame fuck you cause You have never walked through our halls during day.

  • @cj5jeep1 And if you have your really oblivious :)

  • @cj5jeep1 Oh and one more comment... This reminds me of eminem. :) And i like hard rock not c(rap) But i do like eminem if anyone cares :)

  • Comment removed

  • YA YA YA GO SPOKANE! WE NEED MORE TEACH'S THAT ENJOY REAL MUSIC!

  • WOW good thing theres nothing wrong with this song at all... It most likely scared some retared parent with the truth... SPOKANE I LOVE U!

  • Comment removed

  • @st1ksh1ft Hey man Im from Spokane too. I love Blue Scholars and I also think the suspension is outrageous. But what are you making it a political argument for? The liberal america? Its not a liberal position to stifle artist? Go watch Glen Beck or Bill Orielly an see what they think about Hip Hop, they dont have a favorable opinion. Anyway much love to another Spokane Hip Hop head. Peace

  • @zfortyounce

    Washington state for the fucking win

  • @st1ksh1ft ummmmmmmm? liberal america? ahha you mean conservative america right?

  • I am sick that a teacher found a way to connect with the students and got punished for it. This has such a great message!

  • IF I WAS A TEACHER I WOULD PLAY THIS FOR MY STUDENTS......KEEP IT GANGSTA SPKANE! HAHAHA

  • Comment removed

  • Stuff is right. This needs to be heard and then explained as a learning experience. I hope this wont turn into a black power movement, call it an insult, or call it a understanding miseducated youth alum. Hillyard Spokane

  • the opening voice sampe, the "hey pete" thing, where's it from?

  • A Shadle Park High School teacher just got suspended for providing the lyrics of this song to the students

  • @BigBrokenPants YEAH! shit damnit fuck i hate the schools in washington, they aint doin much. The teacher tried something new. A teacher one time said "music can be more influential than teachers themselves", so they fear the music and censor it.

  • @zarenj21 Cursing dosent really make you sound smart. Its kinda helping there side... Haha Anyways it must be on the DL cause not alot of people are talking about

  • @cj5jeep1 Sorry for the swearing! Oh well if you really know me, i don't curse much (Pete Rock, Heavy D Q-Tip Rakim - Don't Curs!), but I just can't believe a teacher got suspended just for that. I would gladly pay more attention in classes such as English if they would pop lyrics time to time to study instead of Shakespeare. Poetry over Beats.

  • @zarenj21 I like them both. xD

  • @zarenj21 The schools in Washington are totally scary. You think its hard on the kids try being the parent that deals with these morons? You have to take these awesome people you brought into the world and meant the best for - I mean you'd lay down you life for your kids right? -and then turn them over to a system so glutted with the clueless, inept, or indifferent that even the teachers who really care & try to make a difference are forced to drink the koolaid. Sucjk city.

  • so a school in my town has a teacher suspended for playing this song to their students...haha fucking assholes

  • Yeah I can't believe that teacher got suspended for playing this song! It aint nothin but the truth, but guess I people don't eveer wanna hear the truth cuz they don't kno how to fix it one someone criticizes or tries to construct them, they just creep around it ignorantly. sad stuff =( Hopefully Blue Scholars will gain from this. Their message will be loud and clear if people make a big deal out of it.

  • spokane washington highschool teacher got suspened for handing out these lyrics to students

  • a high school teacher in spokane just got suspended for giving his students the lyrics to this song

  • schooling is NOT education

  • I recognize the truth and the blue scholars are the trend setters in a movement in progress. Underated and unknown by the majority of the public these two men have created a status of their own with their unique talents. Geo supplies influencial and deep lyrics mixed with political and social problems of today. While Sabzi is a master at producing and creating insane beats for the group. I credit the Blue Scholars as the best rap group around in this decade.

  • Great graduation song, haha. Blue Scholars deliver again with something real. It's a shame local NW Hip Hop stations don't play poetry like this.

  • They should play this instead of that "Vitamin C" bullshit at graduation.

  • @theDolphino1123 I agree so fucking much, I can't even put it in words. This is my(and every following) graduation class' song.

  • @theDolphino1123 For Dropouts :D. let the graduated get there lame Vitamins :p

  • just graduated and first song that came to my mind was this... congratulations to all 2010 grads!!! "Class is out of session at last! "

  • Why does the volume keep going up and down on this? Haha.

  • thank god D is a passing

  • @MelBreeeezy

    thats not good that show you they are trying to keep people stupid.

  • graduated yesterday :) perfect song

  • blue scholars is classic no matter what, fuck the hate.

  • I remember bumpin' this track all through out HS. Due to the fact that it speaks the truth.

  • @SoulDriven28 i'm doin that right now, just put this on whenever i question my teachers

  • 1 for the student for the student that refuses to submit 2 for the teachers that get underpaid and shit and 3 for the strikes giving young bloods life and for years you spent cycle to die?-- anyway i LOVE that bit!

  • @liamman13 *spent stifled inside*

  • @limosince2007 lol- thanks

  • @liamman13 stiffled inside not cycle to die but you got the rest right

  • @liamman13 its 4 years for the years you spent stiffled inside not cycle to die

  • Comment removed

  • "to the graduating class of 2000 whatever congratulations past due you deserve better"

  • It goes one for the student who refuses to submit and two for the teacher who is under-paid as shit, and three for the strikes who give young bloods life and four for the years you spent stifled inside.

    (;

  • if anyone has friends that just graduated from high school and don't know blue scholars you should tell them to listen to this song and the lyrics. spread the word about blue scholars, too much mainstream hip hop/rap sucks.

  • I wholeheartedly agree.

  • But if you tell everyone it might become mainstream and then it wont be underground and it'll be all over the radio.

  • @demonsoul2 i wouldn't mind that. some real music on the radio for once

  • @demonsoul2 You just described exactly what I wanted.

  • @BMANZZS Why would you want that?

  • this is honestly my favorite song by them

    it relates to me so much im in 11th grade and this is exactly how i feel

  • You say Screew the pledge of aleigance?

    You sir,stand on the other side of my line ,

    I Truth in hand Hold that line! Your Side is the , Opposition to my'n. I say none shal pass. Hold the line.

  • thank u geo and sabzi for givin us music that gives us hope

  • i had 2 or 3 teachers in my life but one that truly affected me was my 8th grade teacher mr iepson he was actually rich owning a business selling sport memorabilia that was successful and working as a prison guard one point in his life i never got why he teach in south philly when he was rich owning two houses in New Jersey i found out he teached cause he cared about us and teaching even though he gave me a hard time i respected him he didn't do it for the money he did it for us

  • has anyoe heard commen market. them and blue scholars are alot alike. both are awsome with lyrics

  • Seattle Music in general or atleast rap, is somewhat alike, best stuff out there,

    Dyme Deff, Blue Scholars, RA Scion, Common Market, and Gabriel Teodros. good stuff.

  • Nice abusing your " , " button.

    It's called a "period".

  • Wow you're really cool aren't you?

  • Not, really, man, just, commenting, sorry, bro, if, you, felt,/,got, offended, sorry.

  • You are so awesome.

  • @ElChinkachu Thank, you,sir, you,',re, too.

  • i, love, you, so, much, for, that, <,3

  • Half of those groups are the same. Both have save DJ. The difference is Geo vs RA Scion.

  • Sabzi is part of Both

  • fuck schooollll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Blue Scholars are always so truthful in their rhymes.

    Just an A+ album.

  • haha this is very similar to distortion to static by the rooooots.

  • or we'll be there by puts

  • im lookin for waldo , and or a bag of skitttles»» anybodee ?..

  • different places, different situations... i remember back in High School, my History teacher started his class by sayin that what he teaches is only based on what is written and that if were really into the subject then we should look further and rediscover the topics for better understanding because teachers can only tell you the general idea...

  • I'm an 8th grade English teacher, and I actually agree with a lot of the lyrics in this song. However, not all teachers suck. I happen to utilize the students' experiences and interests in my class. Check out my videos of some stuff my kids did and then tell me that all teachers suck.

  • yeah but the song doesn't say all teachers suck...just most

  • @bordumking4 No they don't. Our education system does. The text books they get are from conservative morons in Texas trying to influence kids. All the things teachers can't do are because of the people above them. I do think there are terrible teacher believe me I have had a few, but I don't think its fair to say all of them are. Hell the one guy gave his kids these lyrics, thats a damn good teacher in my opinion.

  • ive now decided the scholars are amazing...loved em before i heard this...now my all time favorite

  • I just don't understand why we can't have knowledge without the education, knawmean? Like, learn our stuff through our own experiences, instead of forcing us into repetitive activities that really limit what we can find out. A couple days back, the local high school told my Spanish teacher that shes teaching TOO much. How stupid is that? The faster you learn in life, the better, right? Well, I'll just keep fuccing around in school, listening to my iPod in class, and still pull of A's on tests.

  • @FreshOfftheBoat Word.

  • well shit man, despite all that knowledge shit you trying to back, it looks like you got some fucked up spelling and grammar. work on it son

  • Comment removed

  • @FreshOfftheBoat because ;ife is a hard b!tch for a reason, if it were easy it would give no lesson, education is what teaches us early that you gotta find your own lessons in whats given to you

  • @FreshOfftheBoat

    If you waste the time you spend in class you are only cheating yourself - you DEMAND an education not blow it off - its all only tools but the ones with the tools will roll you over if you don't get them for yourself - thats the point. Problem is a lot of the teachers were the same kids that were f-ing off in class when they were your age and they don't have a clue either.

  • @FreshOfftheBoat You don't make any sense. Why waste the already established knowledge? Learn from it then transcend that knowledge!

  • @FreshOfftheBoat are you from seattle man?

  • @razorg5 Nah, Cali. oh and i posted that halfway through 8th grade, things have changed, haha.stay up y'all.

  • The world is at my fingertips

    My grip slips then the world falls through

    the abyss. leaders inflict harm on current conflicts

    the clenched fist around my throat tightens like vice grips.
