purpose - ses rapper lyrics

intro

*brandon (interviewee)
“i feel like the purpose of my old school
was to keep us busy, to keep us from ‘the streets’, (lol)
{to} teach us how the world works
it felt like we were subordinates who had
no say”

(verse 1)
tell me why all these white folks say i need “grit” ?
why society blames me for my skin?
tell me they ignore all the evidence?
that schools like this have less access
every single textbook page ripped
chromebooks is another privilege we ain’t get
whites kids never get punished for the same sh*t n*ggas do… that’s the truth
but its nothing new to me
(the) system isn’t fooling me
we’re less of a human
they see us to be truly beast
rules restrict you if you
have a tinted skin
but rules get bent if they
don’t see melanin
if your skins not fair, then life’s unfair
they don’t care where you’re from
so bare it n*gga!
even if you come from
a single parent mom’
who relied on welfare to’
buy all her children lunch*
there’s a lot walls you must overcome..
but try not die from asth*ma…
(verse 2)
i think my body’s messing up
i got toxins in my lungs
but it’s not from “rolling up”
it’s the poison and the dust
it’s the mold*and it’s the bugs
health care’s failing us !!

(verse 3)
we’re not students, we’re just njggas
the new slaves
chained to an system
you can’t never break away from
how can you escape
when the system tries to cage ya ?
can you tell me why the whole world f*cking hates us?

“teacher’s pov” (verse 4)
me: wassup yo

teacher: heyyyy how you been?
so you need me to answer
couple questions?
let me tell you some bullsh*t you’re gonna see
especially with the other teacher..
teachers mocking kids who can barely read
but the jokes on the teachers who can’t even teach
if the teachers had chance
i know they would leave
they don’t really wanna be here
brah they tell me !
low key a lot them are evil*
they either call the students remedial
or just plain stupid
the falcuty room is full of this*
i only met a few cool ones
they were all young
so i feel like we’re the future and we can do it
i could never talk bad about student
this isn’t middle school
mocking isn’t cool
so if you hear them chatter
just ignore those losers…

and the lessons could be a bit better
nevertheless you gotta try your best*
with a curriculum
thats pinned against these students;
who were influenced by the hoods they grew up in
the same ones white men ruined
ms. wells (interviewee)
***
(outro)
“you know, schools like this, just aren’t fair. the students are already going through so much outside of it. so it’s disappointing how quickly a lot teachers
give up on them, especially since these students need it the most…
like. . . isnt the purpose of school to
better the youth?”
