Verse 1:
It’s just another day, day at the school
The hands go up in the math room
not askin for the bathroom
but it’s basically a snoop dogg video in every single classroom
Surprise I’m the teacher, nice to meet ya
ya know that those kids crazy nowadays
so we run a tight ship, gotta keep a tight grip
Nows kids… don’t forget to keep your line straight
They got their hands high and it ain’t even Friday
They got my brain fried and I ain’t even high paid
But Look what I made, cause in this generation
We getting B B board of education
I’m just saying this is sort of education
don’t know why they gave me my certification
Mr. Willey Can we please just read…
What’s wrong am I breaking your concentration?
okay okay
I move crowds like they didn’t take their medication
Don’t mean I’m not looking forward to the Common Core
Just sayin we gotta make it fun or I’m a kinda snore
These books more prehistoric than a dinosaur
And the test scores isn’t all we fightin for
Gotta work hard and play hard if you in these walls,
Might fall before ya ball cause everybody here is tryin to soar,
So what ya can’t do can’t do is drag us down
ya didn’t bring your homework? that’s a party foul
school yard Mardi Gras, in house party clowns
Sorry to the first floor, it’s getting kinda loud
Hook:
Somebody call the b b b board of education
Tell em that I’m
b b b bored of education
Verse 2:
I see the kids walking on the way to school,
they like Mr. Willey you think your way too cool
And that’s true, I’m sicker than a waiting room
My whole crew rowdy way before it’s May or June
And my Warby Parker frames got me lookin kinda nerdy
just in case my principal is coming to observe me
I’m in my best clothes, she said I’m outta dress code
Whatever though I know I’m in the building like asbestos
I swear I been tryin’ to model bein modest
But it’s hard cause they spot us mouths drop like orthodontists
Obvious we got the ganas, hot as chicken empanadas,
find us in the heights we party hard as Las Dominicanas
Honestly I’m so Ms. Krabappel with the flow
Pedagogically an oddity yeah probably so
Cause I skipped school, skipped school now I get make rules,
if the board of ed knew, tell me what would they do
Hook
Verse 3:
tell me why they staring like them mad at them
I guess at some schools they not into havin fun
It’s the 21st century home skillets
“Do More” like those commercials from Degree home skillet
Get degrees home skillet, have a dream, go fulfill it
anytime they doubt ya that is when ya need to go kill it
And some people old school like throw back gear
But sittin round be boring that is so last year
Don’t call it insubordination, it’s imagination
I’m imaginin a nation that ain’t badly wastin motivation
So much debatin, but tell what is changin
we bored of education, I think it’s is time to wake them
