All the bad apples in the bunch

Whattaya do in a situation like this?
Get tough - or get dissed
The job is yours to play the boss enforce the laws
Because the source is knowledge, wanna go to college?
Or wannabe garbage?
Itand's up to do so what you gonna do
I-i prefer to learn, cause this is for your own concern
You gotta-you gotta earn, however the world turns
So wake up-wake up, to put some sense in your head
Donand't be-donand't be mislead, use your brain instead
Because-because a brother like me, canand't understand you
Playin yourself cheap, like a soggy old pamper
Since iand'm-since iand'm around, iand'm destined and bound
To resurrect and perfect the entire school around
The whole-the whole entourage, a class so large
Under joe clark, andquot;i am the head [nigga] in charge!andquot;
The man-the man with the master plan for discipline
Makin changes-makin changes, no matter what we twist or bend
You may not-you may not understand what this mean to me
But for your-but for your own good.. just lean on me
andquot;just-just-just-justandquot;
andquot;for your own goodandquot; andquot;special mixandquot;
andquot;you may not understand what this mean to me
But for your own good.. just lean on meandquot;

andquot;can i hear a yes?andquot; yes! andquot;why?andquot; things are better
And we are finally, workin together
In unity, and youand're soon to see
Eastside high as a better place to be
The students, the pupils, have morals and scruples
Our learning ability is increased quadrupled
And weand're off to a brand new start
I played my part to prove that youand're smart
And itand's proven, but i ainand't movin, i wonand't be gone
Iand'm here, when you need someone to lean on
So take heed to this as a blessing and remember..
Ainand't no andquot;half-steppinandquot;
Get in full gear, iand'm sure that youand'll care
In the long run, when you got pull here
That means authority
andquot;r-e-s-p-e-c-tandquot; word!
So let knowledge uproot ya
Go for yours, cause we are the future
The ones who rise to supremecy
And if you ever need a hand, just lean on me
