School Days
It’s the public school graduate, published education scholar
From the land we teach less how to make a man, more make a dollar
Went to high school, they told us Civil War was about state rights
Yeah ok and Trump about makin America great, right
What you mean this great white? Sharks is all around these waters
I went to progressive schools and still was lost that they ain’t taught us
I know this lil theorem shit, but taxes got me delirious
Copy your homework, go to college, enjoy your four years and shit
Butt opportunity’s dependin on community
These zip codes determine what they say you can pursue
And if you make it out the lunacy and don’t succumb to truancy
Congrats, here’s a pile of loans to drown in until you 50, it’s wild
Wonder why child fall victim to the settlement
Cause classroom pedagogy ain't culturally relevant
Trauma on they minds and schools be tryin feed em Ritalin and teach em bout some elements
That boy need a counselor, please, please, don’t suspend again
We punish kids for bein veterans
