[Verse 1]
Teacher teacher I haven't heard shit
I've been sitting in your class and I haven't learned shit
Teacher teach I can't sit it in my seat
I'm a pretty smart kid why you giving me D's
Teacher teacher somebody got to say it
What they're teaching you to teach me is all outdated
It's all out crazy and truthfully I know you're not a fan of this
Fuck your lesson plan and your Algebra and Calculus now
Teacher teacher I ain't gon lie
I ain't really focused cuz my uncle just died
And my daddy keep drinking and my momma keep crying
And I swear it's getting worse but I know to keep quiet
Teacher teach you ain't giving a fuck
I understand though they don't really pay you enough
You show up you ain't appreciated enough
And half my homies skip class just to face them a blunt

[Bridge]
I know there's things in my life I can't control
Those same old things in my life I can't let go of (X2)

[Hook]
Teacher teacher I ain't gon lie
I ain't really focused cuz my auntie just died
And my daddy keep drinking and my momma keep crying
And I swear it's getting worse but I know to keep quiet

[Verse 2]
Painting visions of the past like a passage
Both a little bruised up but you know we managed
And that bond will never vanish
Used to hang out every day shit
We were so close your parent's took me on vacations
School was cool but it was never my thing
I was focused on ball trying better my game
At thirteen man I really thought I would play in the league
Fucked my whole winter up when I got cut from the team man
And I don't know about a god but I asked advice
A few years down the road is when I grabbed the mic
He told me grind 5 years as a sacrifice
Now the worlds mine mother fucker I'ma shine

[Bridge]
I know there's things in my life I can't control
Those same old things in my life I can't let go of (X2)
