Teacher Understand Please
Teacher, Shut up
Teacher, slow down
Teacher, LET ME TALK
I bet you didn’t know that when some kids reach their home
They can’t do the work
They live so far and try so hard
But what you fail to understand is that when they go home
They have to clean and cook
Worry about if they have to hide and look
Cause an alcoholic only has alcohol when they have money and the same goes for a drug addict
They don’t worry about your financial dues
Then when they go back to school they can’t afford what you put on the table
They’re tired and you don’t understand
You give them detention when they put their head down
And when they look up they wonder why there’s a hole in the ceiling
Aren’t the teachers supposed to care?
It’s not supposed to be destroyed
Some teachers can’t teach and fail to give the student what they need
Then they blame it on you and call your home
Call when you’re late to school and they wonder why
I’m just wondering
Aren’t the teachers supposed to understand?
Teacher, shut up
Teacher, slow down
Teacher, let me talk now
