Lyrics
This is called "Sex Education: Ghetto Style"
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 inkblot 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
Writer(s): Gil Scott Heron
