Sabzi - Commencement Day lyrics

[Sample: ?] "Hey, Pete. Why do we even write songs like this, man. People ain't gonna change." "Oh, I don't know, Bill. You know, uh, there may be somebody out there listening. You never can tell." [Verse 1: GeoLogic] To the graduating cla** of 2000 whatever Congratulations past due, you deserve better Looking dapper in a cap and a gown You got fam snapping pics, clapping loud in the back of the crowd Now the band playing "Pomp and Circumstance" Got you amped, feeling like a champ Cla** is out of session at last You've been patiently waiting Twelve years in the making Anybody who has doubted you was sadly mistaken With a paper with your name in Old English for the taking So moms can bring it home, to frame it and display it With the grade point average hanging over your head "Brother, Sister, please don't believe the bullsh** they said" f** the pledge of allegiance and arrogant teachers But peace to the people who don't ever preach Up in the front of the cla**, all day long Planting seeds of revolution, we dedicate this song [Hook:] It goes One for the student who refuses to submit Two for the teachers who are underpaid and sh** It's the next generation of miseducated youth Who demonstrate the truth and manage to make it through It goes Three for the stripes giving young bloods life And Four for the years you've spent stifled inside It's the next generation of miseducated youths Next time, ask 'em for proof [Verse 2: Geo] Now to the knuckleheads clowning in the back of the cla** To the teacher's pet monkey in the front kissing a** But most of all everyone else who sat between them And questioned all the falsehoods that teachers believe in Up in hallways in herded in, locker territorial-ism Up in the a**emblies, nobody would listen Instead, rock the mixtape and Walkman discrete With the headphones, threaded from the pocket through the sleeve You received education through the music you heard Cafeteria tables enabled beats to occur Where students separated in cliques The state of the nation, manifested up in high school politics History repeated, you read it to regurgitate Slave-owning, dead white men, folks you know they make Curriculums to design obedient drones Bring your paper but please leave your lyrics at home [Hook:] It goes One for the student who refuses to submit Two for the teachers who are underpaid and sh** It's the next generation of miseducated youth Who demonstrate the truth and manage to make it through It goes Three for the stripes giving young bloods life And Four for the years you've been stifled inside It's the next generation of miseducated youths Next time, ask 'em for proof [Verse 3: Geo] Ay yo, we made it, 45 caliber proof And your teachers don't believe that you can handle the truth But the truth is that these hoots Can't stand it when you Begin to question the conditions And backward traditions As you recognize the threshold of negative stress The crossroad between complete failure and success It's so necessary, you pay attention in cla** Never tell you the conditions in which to apply the math Only sixty-five percent of your peers Freshmen year, are still here And half that total will move on But three out of four will drop out in two years Add it up and it equals some sh** has gone wrong Now the snakes gave you education, budget rollback "No Child Left Behind" is just a backdoor trap As you stand at the summit, future facing the wind Now it's time to let your true education begin [Hook:] It goes One for the student who refuses to submit Two for the teachers who are underpaid and sh** It's the next generation of miseducated youth Who demonstrate the truth and manage to make it through It goes Three for the stripes giving young bloods life And Four for the years you've been stifled inside It's the next generation of miseducated youths Next time, ask 'em for proof
