school

⸻ [Intro – Spoken/Rapped Slow] Yeah… This one’s for every kid caught between the bell and the block, Between dreams and deadlines… I hate school… but I love it too. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Frustration] I hate wakin’ up early, eyes heavy, no rest, Teachers talkin’ fast, I got life on my chest. Math don’t matter when the rent past due, And history skip chapters they don’t want you to view. They judge by grades, never ask how I’m livin’, Like A+ gonna change the fact I’m barely driven. Got a test on Friday, no food in the fridge, Tryna memorize facts when I’m stressin’ where I live. They say “stay in school, it’ll all make sense,” But they don’t teach pain or how to pay rent. Dress code, hall pass, same ol’ script, While the system stay broke and the rich stay rich. ⸻ [Hook – Emotional Switch] I hate school… but I love what it gave, Like the one good friend or the path that it paved. In between the rules and the fake motivation, I found my own voice, my own foundation. Yeah, I hate school… but I love what I learned, Not from books, but the way that the fire inside burned. It ain’t perfect, nah — it’s cracked and cold, But somehow in that mess, I found some gold. ⸻ [Verse 2 – Conflicted Love] Look, I love when a teacher really sees you clear, Not the grades, but the pain and the purpose near. Like “yo, I see you got somethin’, don’t waste it,” Those moments stay with me — yeah, I still taste it. Lunchroom laughs, friends I never forget, Talkin’ ‘bout life, not just tests and regrets. Creative writing class saved me from the edge, Put my pain in a poem, every line was a some gold. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Growth & Real Talk] Now I’m grown, lookin’ back like, “yo it shaped me,” Hated every test, but the pressure kinda made me. It ain’t all bad, and it ain’t all right, It’s a battlefield of mind, fight after fight. Taught me how to deal with people, fake and true, Taught me time don’t wait, gotta push through. Hate the rules, love the hustle I found, Hate the walls, but I love how I broke new ground. So yeah, I clown it, yeah, I rage at the flaws, But I still got respect for the ones who saw Past the grades, past the noise, past the grind, To the kid in the back with a dream in mind. ⸻ [Outro – Spoken/Rapped] So if you ask me how I feel about school? It’s complicated. It broke me, it built me, it taught me, it failed me — But it also helped me find… me. Yeah… I hate school. But I love it too. ⸻
