And I?m gonna have to take you back and move your forward
Frederick Douglass beat the system (abolitionist)
Education was the key

Education was the key
Check out your mind
Check out your mind

Alright my brother

Alright my brother

Education can open doors
Beat the System
Education is the key
Education can open doors
Education is the key
Education can open doors
Education was the key
Beat the system
Beat the system
And I?m gonna have to take you back and move your forward
