Ladies and gentlemen, you coulda been anywhere

Else in the school right now! (Eh, not really; this class is required)

But, you’re here watching a school debate!

The issue on the table: School and its overall usefulness today

I will now take the floor, y’all.

Arrive at 7:45 and sit down at a desk,

Preparing oneself to learn something quite grotesque,

Everyday, something to pass the time, before we forget

What was learned in class before. Out the door, it’s gone; no sweat!

Classes are a game,

Memorizing all the formulas for which I forget the name

See, everywhere’s the same, preaching out the typical aim:

That we must rounded up ‘cause parents think we’re lame.

Math has trig and algebra,

History only reminds us of the place called Africa,

We’ve been harshly taught chemistry matters a lot

But I forgot when Gates or Jobs gave it a thought

We only can sleep as long as a housefly’ll live

But, hey, I can say a rainbow is “ROYGBIV”!

With financial lit, credit and an interest rate?

All I remember now is I just wanna graduate.

Wait, though, you see, health teaches about the body.

Going there every day? I learned more from “50 Shades of Grey”

And if you try to tell me school has a use,

It’s within the top three places known for child abuse.

Nate, ya can’t leave things in a negative light.

Nathan, come here and try to set things right.

No jobs, terrorists, and the national debt,

While you’re complaining ‘cause your hair’s still wet.

All those qualified must clean up the mess,

And we can wonder why our GFs didn’t say yes?

Course ya don’t know it, ya even blow it

Convincing us otherwise that no school gets a prize.

If no one knows anything, no education or college,

We’d all be zombies, carrying your preschool knowledge.

No more boring classes or work, hey fool,

I’ll give ya some drugs, then you’ll really be cool.

No inventors, judges, or politicians. No ideas. Sure,

You don’t know nothing, you get a disease you can’t cure

And another thing, Mr. Know-it-aholic

How do ya know how to rap? All you do is frolic.   

Maybe the classes are boring or dumb,

And you skipped ‘em when you were younger.

But, give your smarts a shot. Solve world hunger.

School is long, I understand but don’t reprimand

Without it, we’d be hobos, penniless with the flu,

I bet you never really thought it all the way through,

You so dumb, the southern slaves were smarter than you!

Thinking school’s useless, a waste of time,

I think you get my point well, I don’t need to rhyme.

So, now you get my point: school is good.

Also, explaining oneself in rap, as everyone should!

You should get my point, you should get my point!

I spelled everything loud and clear, and you should get my point.

Such a small task, I don’t know why ya even have to ask,

Why you even have to ask! Give me a flask!
