Verse

Came from the block where the sirens scream loud

Kept the clip tucked but I flipped it around

Now the same hands that could end it in seconds

Hold a book open, turn pages like weapons

Little ones watching, eyes wide in the night

I trade the red dot for the red pen and write

Show ‘em the letters, spell freedom in lines

Headshot the doubt, watch the future align

Skrrt past the old ways, yuh, new lane

223 still in the name but the aim changed

From hollow to hollowing out every page

Teach ‘em to read so they never get played

Chorus

Headshot 223 (223)

Teach the girls how to read (read, read)

Headshot 223 (223)

Teach the girls how to read (read, read)

Headshot 223 (223)

Teach the girls how to read (read, read)

Verse

They used to run when the shots went off

Now they run to the table when the books get dropped

I used to aim at the chest for the win

Now I aim at the mind, let the knowledge begin

223 ringing but it sound like a bell

Calling the girls to the front of the class, well

Headshot the cycle, headshot the fear

Teach ‘em to read and the whole world clear

Yeah, yeah, na-na, watch ‘em spell it out

From the corner to the corner office now

Still got the number but the meaning done flipped

Headshot 223, now the pages get flipped

Chorus

Headshot 223 (223)

Teach the girls how to read (read, read)

Headshot 223 (223)

Teach the girls how to read (read, read)

Headshot 223 (223)

Teach the girls how to read (read, read)

Headshot 223 (223)

Teach the girls how to read

Outro

Read, read, read…

223…

Read.
