linoskiii - gardens كلمات الأغنية

[intro]
ay yo, bobby, i’ma come into mellow shit right now, bruh

[verse 1]
i’ve had a couple up and downs, yeah
a couple people died and a couple trickled down tears
that’s part of life, though. you can’t live forever
that’s why i make this music so, one day i’ll be remembered
it’s kinda funny how the poor believe in god
they’re happier than most, giving thanks for what they got
well, maybe not all of them, but you’re a good majority
i thought it’s be the other way around, that shit open me
hopefully, my people never change up their humbleness
that makes me really proud knowing that i come from this
and maybe i, over time, became sour
because society wants gardens, but they won’t water the flowers
they’ll plant a seed in the desert with the hopes that in the future it can grow to be a really pretty tree
they’re quick to brush their hands off and turn around and leave
and then eighteen years later, wonder why they don’t succeed
i only seem to know this cos that’s where they planted me
but a child cannot properly grow in this environment

[jaime escalante]
“when you go for a job, the person giving you that job will not want to hear your problems; and, neither do i. you’re going to work harder here than you’ve ever worked anywhere else. and the only thing i ask from you is *ganas.* *desire.*”

[verse 2]
i’m a product of society and the gardens that it planted
and didn’t get enough of the water that i wanted
i was like six, and i didn’t get the lesson
and i really needed help, but a tutor was expensive
most of my friends didn’t fathom the material, and i was esl
can you imagine all my feelings, bro
it didn’t matter, we were p-ssed to the next grade
never understanding shit, thinking it was okay
we got to middle school trying to do the same
and they thought that we were stupid cos we didn’t make the grades
we couldn’t read, we couldn’t write like the best of them
but teachers wouldn’t spend one on one to get the best of us
i think that’s why i would want to be a teacher one day
to be that motivation on a really shitty monday
being a teacher, you don’t do it for the money
like being underground, you just do it cos it’s lovely

[jaime escalante]
“there will be no free rides, no excuses. you already have two strikes against you… there are some people in this world who will -ssume that you know less than you do because, of your name and your complexion.”

[verse 3]
let’s go to high school now, it’s still the same
when graduation came, well, they didn’t read my friends’ names
they didn’t make it cos they didn’t get the basics
but since elementary they f-cked up our education
no child left behind, but there’s a bunch of us still back here
the day i got my papers, man, i started pouring mad tears
i make music from the soul, it’s better quality
and if i start to teach, man, i’ll have the same mentality
i could’ve had a higher paid job
but figured the youth needed me more than some lame boss
the world need some more jaime escalantes
so, stand and deliver the knowledge that you were taught, kid
cos if you don’t, brother, you’ll fall behind them
i know that life has mountains, but i know you can climb them
stay educated, man, that’s all that i want to say to you
cos if you got the proper knowledge, man they’ll be afraid of you

[jaime escalante]
“those scores would have never been questioned if my kids did not have spanish surnames and come from barrio schools. you know that. there’s something going on here that n-body is talking about, and you know what it is
[dr. ramirez]
no one has the right to accuse me of racism
[shouting]
no one has the right to accuse me of racism
[jaime]
i’m going to prove you guys wrong
[dr. ramirez]
i hope you do, because it’s not between you and me
[jaime]
maybe not, but if i catch you on the street, i’ma kick the shit out of you”
