Get your coats

Lunch 

Munch

What did I learn?

I barely know

Do you see me? 

The phantom right here

You've switched off my brain

Do you even care?

I can breathe

I can fight

I can learn

Yeah, that's right

So you're here

And me too

So why don't I feel any passion from you?

You sat where I sit

And you got through this shit

Just to make me think "Damn, get on with it."

Use your real words

Not this robotic tone

Use real world examples

Not this textbookish drone

I can't break out of this cage

I can't learn till I'm gone

Free from your uninspiration

Free from your lack of dedication

The schools are sick and I don't wonder why

Your dream's now a joke

And the joke is a lie

I CRAVE CONFLICT

I WANNA FIGHT TO LEARN

Cause knowledge is power!

And I've got what I earned

So I'll sit in the front and I'll raise my hand high

And I'll ask you some questions

And I'll make you sigh

If school's what I make it

And I'm worth what I know

Then I'll be my own teacher

And I'll let you go

Hand?

"Yes, what is it Ms. Stevens?"

"Well, I was wondering if you could elaborate on that."
