Insight to what's going on
  Information keeps us strong
  What you don't know can hurt you bad
  Take it from me you'll be walkin around sad
  Cryin for a better day
  Until you educate for a better way
  So if you wanna be in control
  Ya gotta get yourself in the know
    Get the knowledge
  That you really want
  The knowledge
  Do you really want
  It's the knowledge
  What you really want
  The knowledge
  That you really want
    Spreading vise don't believe the hype
  You don't find the knowledge in a pipe
  Too many lives go up in smoke
  It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke
  To get over get better
  Try to be the possessor
  Of the one thing we all need in life
  To succeed take my advice
    Get the knowledge
  That you really want
  The knowledge
  Do you really want
  It's the knowledge
  What you really want
  The knowledge
  That you really want
    Prejudice No!
  Ignorance No!
  Bigotry No!
  Illiteracy No!
    Listen it's up to everyone
  If we're gonna change the way the world is run
  The way to start is to rid the children of
  Prejudice & ignorance
  We've gotta teach our kids to read and write
  That's the only way to win this fight for life
  Education is the goal so
  If you wanna be in the know
  Get the knowledge
  It's the one thing we all need in life
