 Our school system's


 

Our school system's flawed, but we're still to adhere

We go to school, go to college, then we pick a career

Let me guide you into my world if you're still blind

And tell me if you think our school system's still fine

 

Some students take higher tracks, so they're quick to advance

While others, they move slower, so they don't get the chance

So because I'm not a student with prestigious credentials,

I'm on a slower track hidden from my potential!?

 

Probably. Something's gotta be 

done to unite this divisive dichotomy

Or else our heads'll be containers of Play-doh 

Instead of philosophies of Socretes and Plato

 

So don't blast me with this blasphemy 

unless you plan to sit in class with me

And you can bring everyone from every track with you

And i promise they'll pass with me
