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
