about

This is the origin song of HipHop HeadUcatorz. After completing a trio of solo albums, MikeAll had the idea for a posse cut where everyone involved was a teacher. The beat, raps, DJ cuts and cover art were all produced by Hip Hop heads who are Ontario certified teachers. The goal was to have one song to celebrate World Teacher Day. The whole experience of making the song was so much fun that we knew we needed to do more. We quickly formed the collective and hope to spark a whole movement. (HHH 0001 - 10/05/2019)

lyrics

(Chorus)
“Going out in the world to teach knowledge”
“My answers be ample in a packed classroom”
“Don’t be a fool like those that don’t go to school”
“Each one teach one”

[Wizekrak]
Each One Teach One, mind yeh speech son
You wanna write? Grab a dictionary you need one
Unique tongue surplus of flows, no deficit
Won’t put vocal to mic ‘till I perfected it
Project it, clear, master the flow
Retrieved a ball from the roof for the children below
So let's go, start a track, have it done by noon
Catch me freestyling ill from September to June-

[MikeAll]
September thru June blessing the booth
Testers left mute like Teach stepped in the room
Refreshing class like your schedule’s new
True HipHop is a tool to connect with the youth
Represent Special Ed dude “Come on, Let’s Move it”
Use tune as solution not soul pollution
Mike all for the cause of knowledge raising
Each One Teach One Hip Hop Edutainment-

(Chorus)

[Just Sev]
Each One Teach One bunch a teachers in the booth
Spittin lessons so hard I think somebody lost a tooth
Got into the game to start reppin for the youth
But the grind never stops when you're diggin for the Truth
Pick up a shovel so that you can get the scoop
Oblivion is cyclical, takes work to break the loop
Can't believe everything on TV or in books
Cuz many heroes of today were once considered crooks-

[A Cubed]
Feeling overwhelmed, how can we take the helm?
We need working coping strategies to deal with times of stress
Some self-discipline to handle all the tests
Some self-awareness, to access these tools
Without these things, your self treatment is cruel
Without these tools who would want to stay in school
Let’s model chill and avoid dem pills
Purchase some wood and learn how to drill
With education, let’s have our fill
With education, let’s have our fill-

[Tigz]
So here we go! Kickin a flow like spinning BBoys on the floor
It's classic fantastic boombapish beats for the show
So what do you know? I’m used to burning kicks, walls, and pieces,
But without a decent thesis I can’t really do my research.
CHECK IT. It’s not a blessing got me stressing every adolescent.
Thinking about our youth, Represented by some standard testing,
And if you believe that’s good, trust it.
Ya’ll are just a STAR backwards with fire steaming up the bucket. What if?-

(Chorus)

[Jon Corbin]
I wrote a rap for the class that said ‘reach for the stars’
They gasped at the fact that the teacher had bars
I laughed, told the cats that I speak from the heart
And craft the tracks to help em see in the dark
Yeah my light gon’ shine cause we needing a spark
I write my rhymes cause I beef with the charts
I fight this crime by increasing their smarts
Then inspire young minds by releasing my art-

[Chase March]
To lift up and inspire is the greatest mission
The best way to do so is to truly listen
To the voice of the youth they got something to say
Way too smart to learn the old way
As teachers we got to make connections, pay attention
Meet the students where they are
Give them tools to exceed their current reach/
Build the mutual respect or there's nothing you can teach-

(Outro)
