Faculty Lounge

[Verse 1: Homeboy Sandman]

My kids is on drugs

Half they took at home, half the school gave 'em

They's told that school would save 'em

Nuh-uh

School enslave 'em

My principal wasn't stressin' education

That bitch was more concerned with decorations

Talking 'bout I need more posters

Any minute cops could rush in itching to pull they toasters out they holsters

How am I supposed to teach a class?

When just a period earlier students caught a nasty temper from some tenured piece of trash

It take me 20 minutes just to get 'em back to feeling like human beings

To where the ones that can't even read at least humor me

I try to give em extra time

These kids already on they second strike

Frustrated by the second try

Brown v. Board done had a a ruling but what's the rule?

Two-thousand and five, I's teaching in a segregated school

An overpopulated, overmedicated, designated devastated

It's cruel

[Hook: Homeboy Sandman]

Kick the truth to the young black youth

Young gun, high strung

You need schoolin'

Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there

Kick the truth to the young black youth

Young gun, high strung

You need schoolin'

Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there

[Verse 2: Mega Ran]

The natives are restless

Displayin aggression

And that's the young ones

The old ones aren't staying for testing

So I gave em a question yo why you here, most of these kids just passin' time until the day that they can buy a beer

Priceless - MasterCard ask the gods, the streets pay twice as much and the work gotta be like half as hard

I ask em all, you ever seen Jersey Shore?

I watch one hand then 2 hands then 30 more

Name of the game is education reform

Times is tougher than ever its quite a day to be born

I'm tryna' overstand, how we get more

When prisons are built based on our kids 3rd grade test scores

Parents carefree, teachers stress more

You got kids wit lock picks stealin' out ya desk drawer

Student government

My president took computer cleaner to the restroom and then he started huffin' it

Ritalin etcetera the plethora of meds the serve up would ace Roger Federer

Talk about desperate

These kids known to pack weapons and that's their idea of alternative assessments

[Hook: Homeboy Sandman]

Kick the truth to the young black youth

Young gun, high strung

You need schoolin'

Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there

Kick the truth to the young black youth

Young gun, high strung

You need schoolin'

Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there

[Mega Ran]

Teachers conference, four days up at the Hyatt

I can't remember enough of what I learned to apply it

Then i would return to class, just to find that

In my absence my students incited a full riot

Got kinda violent, two subs retired

I must be gettin' punished for every stupid thing I did

Five kids pullin' straight F's

And I ain't hear from the parents until the day we taught em safe sex

[Homeboy Sandman]

Real teachers break necks

Surrounded by lowlifes teaching for paychecks

Funding is determined by the property tax

So if you got little you get little and you probably black

And since you black you better not even think of losing your head

These teacher's scared of you

First chance they get they'll put ya in special ed

Know this the faculty but I'm sympathizing with the students

On account of sympathizing with the movement

[Mega Ran]

I'd say we need improvement

[Hook: Homeboy Sandman]

Kick the truth to the young black youth

Young gun, high strung

You need schoolin'

Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there

Kick the truth to the young black youth

Young gun, high strung

You need schoolin'

Back to school and I hate it there, I hate it there
