Teacher, Teacher?

Do you really love to teach us?

Or is it all about the pay check?

Teacher, Teacher?

If it is all about the pay check, I'll much rather have you say that!

Teacher, Teacher?

I don't mean to be rude; but why yo breath always smell like shit?

I just can't take all the yelling in my face. I hate the combination of the smell & the spit.

Teacher, Teacher?

Since I,m being honest, I truely adore you. I know you notice everytime I see you, just to speak... I be almost breaking my neck.

I like that you like apples. I do too! I,m always staring at yours & I,m not talking about the one one ya desk.

Teacher, Teacher? 

Can you please not give me detention. I can't be leaving the school all late.

You don't know the shit I gotta go through. All the routes I take ain't safe.

Teacher, Teacher?

If I walk into trouble & some Niggaz take my shit!

I hope you know you gone be replacing it!

Teacher, Teacher?

I know you wish you could choose a school in a way better district.

I know sometimes hate us all, cuz we barely even listen.

But teacher! I just want you to understand, you all we got!

Most of us look at you like a mom or pops.

Just teach us from the heart & I promise we'll try to listen, learn & pay attention

Because to make it in this life of ours, it's like a lifelong Vietnam war mission.

So Teacher, Teacher?

I know sometimes you feel like giving up on us & calling it quits.

But please stay, because most of us need you... & I mean that shit!

Teacher, Teacher?

We love you!
