School lyrics

SCHOOL*

(Doin alright)

Can I talk a little about school?
Just school?

Elementary was a distant recollection where we learned writing and the essentials
Middle was astute and when I created art with pencils
High school was life changing and when I started rappin over instrumentals
In grade six, I never had bones to pick
Just a kid who lived life to the fullest
Never knew to live in the moment cuz time wasn't noticed
Handball, recess, free lunches, friendships and crushes
That was it
Entered middle school lost with no compass
No direction or guidelines
The movies and shows taught me
My parents and I never talked, let alone gave me "the talk"
I had to text girls and watch videos to understand what sex was
Television made school exaggerated
They said the bullies were going to throw my lunch at my face if I hadn't ate it
They said teachers would be conniving and would give F's on every assignment they graded
Recess was gonna be eliminated and taken away
The girls
Were snobby and would reject you even if you just said hey
Puberty came into play
Grades weren't a priority
Friends were are gateway
Little juveniles having to behave 1:08 Trailing and searching for our identity
Overwrought about popularity
Thought being nerdy was a bad thing
But eventually we learned that it wasn't
I was never late to class
The only boy who could rock side burns and a mustache
Fretful about report cards and reading out loud
I was a stuttering kid who didn't want to be called on
I didn't want to be judged
I wanted to be in the big crowds with everyone
I wasn't fit
I cringed when we had to run the mile
My bestfriend as a child moved into a different group
Friends will come and go but they will never be removed
Never fought or did drugs
I have to thank dare and my parents for that one
But all in all the time was wasteful but fun
I learned how to bite my tongue
Kids in that time were fools
It was cruel
That's what happened in middle school
From infant to adult
I never had patience
The day adulthood came
I wanted to avoid the fast lane
Education is a jail cell keeping us away from the possibilities
No worries
The workload was easy
Nothing about it was challenging
Wasn't school suppose to be educating?

When I was a freshmen
The first day a fight broke out before my eyes
I told myself "damn is this how high schools gonna be like?"
I was chubby and puny
I didn't know what I was doing
I was spineless and ultimately grew one
The girls made me aroused even though I knew nothing about them
I was obedient and serious so maybe that's why high school was meaningless
The puberty continued along with teenage and family issues
Teachers always said it but it was true: high school goes by fast
Friendships were drifting and became toxic
Girls were developing and kinky
But were stuck up
They had impossible expectations
Maybe I should've been more confident
I wasn't partying
No wonder those four years stunk
I learned that popularity had no meaning
That word was to make the lower kids feel demeaned
Our class was so disjointed and split up between cliches within cliches
Everyone judged and didn't spread felicity
I lost 27 pounds til I gained it back
I was too satisfied and lost motivation
Sophomore and junior year were gone
Before I knew it was prom
I was hesitant on going but I said screw it and went on the party bus
Didn't get it in but received my first piece of action
This tipsy girl's big booty
Grinded on me
The rest of the night was ordinary
I saw the girl of my dreams getting jiggy with her girlfriends
I was about to ask her to dance but this random takes her hand
After that I went to the punch bowl drank some lemonade and waited til we left
Anyways I'm about to graduate
The green and gold cap and gown from royal
Shaking hands with administrators to get my diploma
This chapter of my life will soon be ova
Saying goodbye to the friends I spent these four years with
I'm still young so I don't know where I'm goin
I guess the next step is community college
I'm hoping it's like how the movies said

From infant to adult
I never had patience
The day adulthood came
I wanted to avoid the fast lane
Education is a jail cell keeping us away from the possibilities
No worries
The workload was easy
Nothing about it was challenging
Wasn't school suppose to be educating?
