Don't Be A Dropout - James Brown (詹姆斯·布朗)[00:00:00]

Written by：James Brown/Nat Jones[00:00:00]

Now a good friend of mine[00:00:11]

Sat with me and he cried[00:00:13]

He told me a story[00:00:15]

I know he ain't lying[00:00:17]

Said he went for a job[00:00:19]

And Mr Man said[00:00:21]

Without an education[00:00:23]

You might as well be dead[00:00:25]

Now don't get me wrong[00:00:27]

He said it's not who you are[00:00:29]

But people come to me[00:00:32]

From near and far[00:00:33]

But I do just what[00:00:36]

And I follow the rules[00:00:37]

I didn't have an education[00:00:40]

So I had to go back to school[00:00:42]

My friends told all his buddies[00:00:45]

That he loved so well[00:00:46]

And of their personal troubles[00:00:48]

I will not tell[00:00:50]

Now those guys didn't seem good[00:00:53]

And they didn't seem bad[00:00:55]

They didn't seem so happy[00:00:57]

And I know they weren't sad[00:00:58]

But the point isn't[00:01:01]

That they follow the rules[00:01:02]

They got an education[00:01:05]

And they all been in school[00:01:07]

Now underneath his tears[00:01:09]

I could see the true fact[00:01:11]

When he dropped out of school[00:01:13]

He never never went back[00:01:15]

Got to got to got to listen now now[00:01:17]

What do you say[00:01:20]

Without an education[00:01:22]

Might as well be dead[00:01:23]

So one day he got tired[00:01:26]

Of his little spending change[00:01:28]

So he looked up his friends[00:01:30]

To check their pay range[00:01:32]

When he got there[00:01:34]

The crib he found that he was a drag[00:01:35]

'Cause man they were clean[00:01:38]

And his clothes were like rags[00:01:40]

One was a business man[00:01:43]

With the plenty of dough[00:01:45]

He had his thing so set up[00:01:47]

You know he couldn't blow[00:01:49]

The other had his job so uptight[00:01:51]

He had his whole family[00:01:55]

And his kids all out of sight[00:01:56]

Tell me one more time now[00:01:59]

What do you say[00:02:01]

Without an education[00:02:03]

Might as well be dead[00:02:05]

You got to got to[00:02:06]

Got to get a little learning[00:02:07]

What do you say[00:02:10]

Without an education[00:02:12]

Might as well be dead[00:02:14]

What made him so hurt[00:02:17]

That these were his friends[00:02:18]

And he was a drag[00:02:19]

They looked at him[00:02:20]

And he was in the same old bag[00:02:21]

For his friends they worked real hard[00:02:24]

When the work day was through[00:02:27]

Now he realized[00:02:29]

He should have done the same thing[00:02:30]

Tell me one more time now[00:02:32]

What do you say[00:02:35]

Without an education[00:02:37]

Might as well be dead[00:02:39]

You got to got to[00:02:40]

Got to get a little learning now[00:02:41]

What do you say[00:02:43]

Without an education[00:02:45]

Might as well be dead[00:02:47]

I'm gonna say[00:02:49]

They kept on pushing[00:02:50]

When the going was tough[00:02:52]

And now they know[00:02:54]

That things don't seem so rough[00:02:55]

So kids stay in school[00:02:58]

Don't be no drag[00:03:00]

Take a fool's advise[00:03:02]

And stay out of that bag[00:03:04]

What do you say[00:03:09]

Without an education[00:03:11]

Might as well be dead[00:03:12]

You got to got to[00:03:13]

Got to get a some learning now[00:03:14]

What do you say[00:03:17]

Without an education[00:03:19]

Might as well be dead[00:03:20]

Don't be a drop out[00:03:21]

Stay in school now listen to me[00:03:23]

What do you say[00:03:25]

Kids kids[00:03:27]

Might as well be dead[00:03:29]

No no[00:03:30]

What do you say[00:03:34]

Without an education[00:03:35]

Might as well be dead[00:03:37]
