Schoolin' Life


Today we're going to learn about life

We're not learning the y and x axis

But to sign by the x for taxes

Lets not talk about literary devices

Because there are devices in this world that are louder than us and do more than compare

Want to talk about acid and absoption?

Wait, how many of you know what a mortgage is?

Last but not least kids our topic is common sense

The government wants to tell you how smart you are

By giving you assignments and placing grades on cards

But I believe your greatness should not be based on documented test

It should be based on how you can handle this world at its worst and at its best
