Sorry , but Not Sorry.


I walk in late to class again , but I do not care.

The lessons you write up are incomprehenisble,  and

Your monotone voice has left me to just stare.

My eyes are wide open , but I'm not paying you any attention.

I'm looking at the board , my pen and paper are having tension on

what the heck the value of X is.

They pay you to sit at your desk and talk to the class and

Then tell me we have a test to pass?

I loose sight into what we're learning.

That bathroom pass on your desk is what I'm yerning.

Why do I have to learn what you are teaching me , if I am

never going to use it in my life.

"Like in algebra where

I’ve yet to go to a store and

say here is x and y +2 and give me my x change back thank you." -Tupac 

But , you're teaching me this ... why ?

Then, when I do not understand you have to fail me.

Mom and Dad are mad at me for the grades you give me.

You tell me my grade is what I've earned.

Teacher , you're the teacher but what have I learned ?

Sorry , but I'm sorry for not understanding what you've taught.

The semester is over and everything I was supposed to learn in August ,... 

I already forgot.

I rather party , and hang out with clouds in the sky.

Go to raves , and never say Good-Bye.

Summertime , is the best.

June 1st is my friend , I have LOTS of friends and I will stick out this

Whole school thing until the end.

I pray I do become successful after I graduate from high school & that

College I tried so hard to get into

All based on my GPA & ACT scores.

You told me sky is the limit , but all I see are these doors.

Door 1 which leads to the path of higher education.

Door 2 that has opportunies to fame and amazing blessings.

Then , Door 3 of eminent eustressings.

Thank you all Mr.'s and Mrs.'s

Here are my good - bye kisses.

Thank you for wasting my time.

Now it's time to reach out for my glory.

Sorry , but I'm not. 

Next time teach me , what you've should've taught.
