The Fuck Do I look Like?

by magicalbeyondwords

September 18, 2013

The fuck do I look like?

Listening to your voice rambling on and on

Your stupid syllabus and grading scale is all wrong

I get graded for saying things in class?

How about this: Kiss my natural black ass.

Minus 100 points for laying my head on the desk

Not my fault your voice puts me to rest.

I'm ateenager and you were one too

Face the facts no one wants to listen to you.

No one cares about the test next week

Everyone will fail and some will cheat.

Tired of this school and tired of this system

The fuck do i look like coming back and sharing my experience

Don't believe the hype that high school is the best 4 years.
