[Lyric] Educated (Ethos The Rapper)

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, a couple years ago, yeah my progression was stagnant, couldn't even call it slow
And my esteem was low, no sense of worth, and growin' up in this life was somethin' I seemed to actively forgo
Now I'm pickin' up pace, flaws are somethin' I currently embrace, yeah, no longer do I feel so out of place
Done savin' face, or tryin' to erase the memories chasin' me in my thought, yeah now they're gone without a trace
Now I'm gonna get my education, no connotation, and in summation I want the evolution of a new nation
Do you want to get to a higher level with me? It'll cause dishevel heavy, but we're gonna go from invisible to a bevy

[Chorus]
Educated spirit, now I've acclimated, and the higher plan got me calibrated
Yeah, the educated got the upper hand, the universe is handin' out a quantum strand
Exactly like it planned, always expandin' gland, and teachin' you to stand up right with a fervent demand

[Verse 2]
Educated myself to stand on my two feet, yeah, people like me are the hardest ones to beat
Accomplishin' the feat requires your pride to take a seat, yeah, you can't topple someone who's smart in both book and street
Felt my life slippin' and my ambition trippin' over the rope, 'twas my ego bitin' me like a tiny dog nippin'
But now the scales are tippin' my education heavily weighin' down the waters around me, soaked, and now I'm drippin'
The knowledge I'm stockin', current sea I'm rockin', lock in the words I say cause here soon they'll be angrily flappin' and flockin'
I do both talkin' and walkin', that's why they're light on the mockin' cause I'm always consistent so they all just stuff the sock in
And I'm gonna get 'em when they least expect it, and every single dot I connect it, nothin' in the world can affect it
Believe me, I done checked it, and the road less traveled, I trekked it, and the journey done been perfected
Time to take a flyer high above those who tried to reject it
[Chorus]
Educated spirit, now I've acclimated, and the higher plan got me calibrated
Yeah, the educated got the upper hand, the universe is handin' out a quantum strand
Exactly like it planned, always expandin' gland, and teachin' you to stand up right with a fervent demand

[Bridge]
I know you want to learn, yeah, first the egos burn
I know you want to learn, but you're a bit stubborn
Are you ready to attain freedom from all your pain?
Yeah, can you really grasp or will you choke and gasp?

[End]
Are you gonna choke, yeah?
Are you gonna choke, yeah?
Are you gonna choke, yeah?
Are you gonna choke? No
