School - Intellectual

SCHOOL*

(Doin alright)

Can I talk a little about school?

Just school?

Elementary was a distant recollection where we learned writing and the essentials

Middle was astute and when I created art with pencils

High school was life changing and when I started rappin over instrumentals

In grade six, I never had bones to pick

Just a kid who lived life to the fullest

Never knew to live in the moment cuz time wasn't noticed

Handball, recess, free lunches, friendships and crushes

That was it

Entered middle school lost with no compass

No direction or guidelines

The movies and shows taught me

My parents and I never talked, let alone gave me "the talk"

I had to text girls and watch videos to understand what sex was

Television made school exaggerated

They said the bullies were going to throw my lunch at my face if I hadn't ate it

They said teachers would be conniving and would give F's on every assignment they graded

Recess was gonna be eliminated and taken away

The girls

Were snobby and would reject you even if you just said hey

Puberty came into play

Grades weren't a priority

Friends were are gateway

Little juveniles having to behave 1:08 Trailing and searching for our identity

Overwrought about popularity

Thought being nerdy was a bad thing

But eventually we learned that it wasn't

I was never late to class

The only boy who could rock side burns and a mustache

Fretful about report cards and reading out loud

I was a stuttering kid who didn't want to be called on

I didn't want to be judged

I wanted to be in the big crowds with everyone

I wasn't fit

I cringed when we had to run the mile

My bestfriend as a child moved into a different group

Friends will come and go but they will never be removed

Never fought or did drugs

I have to thank dare and my parents for that one

But all in all the time was wasteful but fun

I learned how to bite my tongue

Kids in that time were fools

It was cruel

That's what happened in middle school

From infant to adult

I never had patience

The day adulthood came

I wanted to avoid the fast lane

Education is a jail cell keeping us away from the possibilities

No worries

The workload was easy

Nothing about it was challenging

Wasn't school suppose to be educating?

When I was a freshmen

The first day a fight broke out before my eyes

I told myself "damn is this how high schools gonna be like?"

I was chubby and puny

I didn't know what I was doing

I was spineless and ultimately grew one

The girls made me aroused even though I knew nothing about them

I was obedient and serious so maybe that's why high school was meaningless

The puberty continued along with teenage and family issues

Teachers always said it but it was true: high school goes by fast

Friendships were drifting and became toxic

Girls were developing and kinky

But were stuck up

They had impossible expectations

Maybe I should've been more confident

I wasn't partying

No wonder those four years stunk

I learned that popularity had no meaning

That word was to make the lower kids feel demeaned

Our class was so disjointed and split up between cliches within cliches

Everyone judged and didn't spread felicity

I lost 27 pounds til I gained it back

I was too satisfied and lost motivation

Sophomore and junior year were gone

Before I knew it was prom

I was hesitant on going but I said screw it and went on the party bus

Didn't get it in but received my first piece of action

This tipsy girl's big booty

Grinded on me

The rest of the night was ordinary

I saw the girl of my dreams getting jiggy with her girlfriends

I was about to ask her to dance but this random takes her hand

After that I went to the punch bowl drank some lemonade and waited til we left

Anyways I'm about to graduate

The green and gold cap and gown from royal

Shaking hands with administrators to get my diploma

This chapter of my life will soon be ova

Saying goodbye to the friends I spent these four years with

I'm still young so I don't know where I'm goin

I guess the next step is community college

I'm hoping it's like how the movies said
