They be like Teacher! Will you teach me how to read?
You know why, cause that is what I need. All I need is a book that's super bumpin.
And for you, you, you a seat that you can dump in.
Put your arms out front, read from side to side.
They gone be on you, when they see you smart and reading right.
Ain't no messing with that boy book on his side.
He go by Bubba and he hit that book with thunder. (All Day) I ain't from Dallas, but I'm Determined to read.
I show my book and every body tryna be me.
I leave the library and I'm feeling like a new me.
Now you just do you, and I'm gonna do me. (All Day)
Some words I hate, cuz they confuse me, Words be stuck to me, I think they tryna glue me?
My mind's shining bright (illustrious) and it started booming.
This book was bubble gum, so I had to chew it.
Teach Me How to Read Teach Me How to Read (Chorus)
Everybody Read, You ain't messing with my book.
My name is Genre, for the kids that don't know me.
I'm not a book, I'm a style of a story.
I can be horror, fiction, or poetry. They all reading me, but none of them know me.
When we reading, we get it brodie.
So I am on the shelves and I take it real low.
They like, "how she do that," she can read on the floor.
And when I stop reading, they like read some more.
I'm like your girl kind of tired so I pass it to my bro.
And bomb, show these cats how we do that. We real smart, so we learned a little too fast.
Brought it to the hood, got the whole school to pass.
Teach Me How to Read Everybody Read, Everybody Read
Teach Me How to Read, Teach Me How to Read, Everybody Read, Everybody Read, You ain't messing with my book.
Back of the class I don't really like to read, Im gonna put that book away but I need it to succeed.
She do her reading and everybody hating, but
I'm thinking about escaping in this book and head home.
She likes to read two books in her hand. She likes to read it even if its real long.
Her book bags heavy, I think she love it. I change the subject and I do my Dougie.
Ah.... All the bros call me lucky, cuz they see the girl I'm reading with she ready so we rushing.
I turn off my kicks, I don't want no interruptions. We brag and got haters, cuz all A's we be busting.
Reading keeps me from not knowing nothing.
I didn't write the book, I just took it out the oven, we like to read when everybody jumping, and
we yell "WE LOVE TO READ!" cuz we know that readings bumping.
Teach Me How To Read (Chorus)
What's this word? (A-Rock age 3)
C-A-K-E, cake :)
