| My kids is on drugs
|
| Half they took at home, half the school gave 'em
|
| They’s told that school would save 'em
|
| Nuh-uh
|
| School enslave 'em
|
| My principal wasn’t stressin' education
|
| That bitch was more concerned with decorations
|
| Talking 'bout I need more posters
|
| Any minute cops could rush in itching to pull they toasters out they holsters
|
| How am I supposed to teach a class?
|
| When just a period earlier students caught a nasty temper from some tenured
|
| piece of trash
|
| It take me 20 minutes just to get 'em back to feeling like human beings
|
| To where the ones that can’t even read at least humor me
|
| I try to give em extra time
|
| These kids already on they second strike
|
| Frustrated by the second try
|
| Brown v. Board done had a a ruling but what’s the rule?
|
| Two-thousand and five, I’s teaching in a segregated school
|
| An overpopulated, overmedicated, designated devastated
|
| It’s cruel
|
| Kick the truth to the young black youth
|
| Young gun, high strung
|
| You need schoolin'
|
| Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there
|
| Kick the truth to the young black youth
|
| Young gun, high strung
|
| You need schoolin'
|
| Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there
|
| The natives are restless
|
| Displayin aggression
|
| And that’s the young ones
|
| The old ones aren’t staying for testing
|
| So I gave em a question yo why you here, most of these kids just passin' time
|
| until the day that they can buy a beer
|
| Priceless — MasterCard ask the gods, the streets pay twice as much and the work
|
| gotta be like half as hard
|
| I ask em all, you ever seen Jersey Shore?
|
| I watch one hand then 2 hands then 30 more
|
| Name of the game is education reform
|
| Times is tougher than ever its quite a day to be born
|
| I’m tryna' overstand, how we get more
|
| When prisons are built based on our kids 3rd grade test scores
|
| Parents carefree, teachers stress more
|
| You got kids wit lock picks stealin' out ya desk drawer
|
| Student government
|
| My president took computer cleaner to the restroom and then he started huffin'
|
| it
|
| Ritalin etcetera the plethora of meds the serve up would ace Roger Federer
|
| Talk about desperate
|
| These kids known to pack weapons and that’s their idea of alternative
|
| assessments
|
| Kick the truth to the young black youth
|
| Young gun, high strung
|
| You need schoolin'
|

|
| Teachers conference, four days up at the Hyatt
|
| I can’t remember enough of what I learned to apply it
|
| Then i would return to class, just to find that
|
| In my absence my students incited a full riot
|
| Got kinda violent, two subs retired
|
| I must be gettin' punished for every stupid thing I did
|
| Five kids pullin' straight F’s
|
| And I ain’t hear from the parents until the day we taught em safe sex
|
| Real teachers break necks
|
| Surrounded by lowlifes teaching for paychecks
|
| Funding is determined by the property tax
|
| So if you got little you get little and you probably black
|
| And since you black you better not even think of losing your head
|
| These teacher’s scared of you
|
| First chance they get they’ll put ya in special ed
|
| Know this the faculty but I’m sympathizing with the students
|
| On account of sympathizing with the movement
|
| I’d say we need improvement
|
