Sex Education: Ghetto Style Songtext
von Gil Scott‐Heron

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
