Pay Attention
You would think by now
Wait no, you should know by now I should leave
Leave it all
Wait, that just isn't right either
Can I ask a question?
I just did huh?
And there I go again
S-C-H-O-O-L
If you go on the regular
You should know how to spell
Multicultural, mixed, biracial
L-I-G-H-T
S-K-I-N-N-E-D
Now what does that say
Apparently that is my definer
Stop using adjectives and just be a bit kinder
And before you go crazy, I know I contradicted
But the only way to right your wrong
Is to show how wrong your right is wicked
Maybe if you paid attention
Took the time to actually listen
I would not be an unhappy, Straight-A student
Who fears college but should be jubilant
I am overworked and under rewarded
The only way to show who you really are, I guess is to record it
LIEING, FIGHTING, STEALING, BULLYING, DISCRIMINATING
So many bad aspects in this building WE created
How can I fight on, but I keep taking the hit
Because we both know, you're all full of shit.
