Gil Scott-Heron - Sex Education: Ghetto Style lyrics

I was doin' it when I was a colored boy of eight or nine or ten I had never heard of Sigmund Freud but hell I was doin' it then I was doin' it in my teenaged years when I was running the ghetto streets Now I had never seen me no ink blot test but it still felt good to me I was doin' it when I arrived in college searching for my degree But Lord knows a degree wasn't all I got and that's the way it's supposed to be I hope that when I have kids of my own they really don't get shook When I tell them that there are things they've got to learn that can't be found in books.
