school system

People always tell me a nice congratulation,

They say Imma make it till graduation.

Get good grades, study at school,

Find a nice house, and life will be cool.

 

But honestly, I don\'t know what to do anymore,

In school I\'ve mastered every common core.

In learning I\'ve fallen into an endless loop,

Class is just another wild fucking coop.

I don\'t even know where to go for college,

Why are we only defined by classroom knowledge?

Why are we defined by one little letter?

Why does that determine who\'s worse or who\'s better?

 

I know about the men that took world flights,

But I was never taught my Human Rights!

Teachers preach about the Roman and the Greek,

But I don\'t know how to help the poor or the weak!

 I can plant seeds and name 30 types of trees,

Yet I\'m clueless on how to fucking pay tuition fees!

 

Listen, I\'m not trying to be rude,

I have a right to speak so fix ya attitude!

My thoughts had kept my mouth shut for way too long,

Soon came to realize the school system is wrong.
