[Verse 1: Complete]

Oi

Let me take you back to hell, to Helicobacter High

Where they trapped us like felons who in the cracks to die

My spelling was crap but I developed a knack to write

"I'm a rapper" I'd tell em, they'd dwell on the fact I'm white

Attracted by the respect a musician gets

It's hard when school's infecting you with its stress

When cigarette smoke's swept into cricket nets

Your biggest test is projected through liquor's hex

A picket fence surrounded the school property

I'd often leave sobbing from hours of cruel mockery

The class clown, I was found at the pool chopping weed

I wanna be myself but there's thousands of rules stopping me

So what's the key to a general education?

Like sex-ed taught me my genitals get sensations

I was waiting everyday for a credible explanation

Teachers were meant to test me, instead they all test my patience in

[Chorus: Complete + Drapht]

Helicobacter High, Helicobacter High

The plan was to sell you their pack of lies

Helicobacter High, Helicobacter High

Stand up, they tell you get back in line

And if you're treated like an idiot in school

Don't worry man, we were just like you, you, you

If you don't know why, welcome to Heli-co-bact-er High


[Verse 2: Drapht]

I never really learned that much in school, they said

"Paul, you're dumb as fuck and see that basketball will never help you pay your bills"

But here's a finger for them all

Cause I could pay the bills for every single dux up in that hall now

I walked around, found solace in Nirvana

Kurt Cobain said "Voice your pain", school said "Shut Up"

Get up, get your ass out my class, out of my sight

Now I'm outta sight, out of their class holding a mic

Owning two cars, a bike

While you went and got your honours and your masters

I was honoured my heart, mastering life

But had to travel through dark, darkest of night

It was darker than Darth's mask when it passes through light

And now I'm here and it's bright and I'm sharper than shark with a bite

Stayed on my grind, I'm the sharpest of knife

But they tried to take my mind with their food in their cafeteria

Clear of ya and your school full of bacteria

[Chorus: Complete + Drapht]

Helicobacter High, Helicobacter High

The plan was to sell you their pack of lies

Helicobacter High, Helicobacter High

Stand up, they tell you get back in line

And if you're treated like an idiot in school

Don't worry man, we were just like you, you, you

If you don't know why, welcome to Heli-co-bact-er High

[Verse 3: Complete + Drapht]

A kid obsessed with the craft of rap

I used to have to hear them laugh at my Dada hat

They'd start to chat, saying my bars are wack

And that I'd never be good enough for a Drapht collab

They take it back, taken back

Faster than jumping up on the fucking back of Pharlap

You half of us, do the math

And half of you couldn't even compute when we are talking

Kinda like Stephen Hawking but dangerous cause we walking

Maybe it's just rewarding that we taught em a lesson

We went from, forging assessments to recording a session

Forming a formula, performing to our former professors for a profession

Cause they're daughters now adore every door that we step in

So check your feet when you're stepping up to Complete & Mister D-rapht, went from a C mark on a sheet

To an A+ on a beat, to a D cup in the face

I see the top of the class & keep chucking him change

[Chorus: Complete + Drapht]

Helicobacter High, Helicobacter High

The plan was to sell you their pack of lies

Helicobacter High, Helicobacter High

Stand up, they tell you get back in line

And if you're treated like an idiot in school

Don't worry man, we were just like you, you, you

If you don't know why, welcome to Heli-co-bact-er High
