[JJ DOOM - Pause Tape lyrics]
Sisters in the
Bleachers the fool who stole my sneakers
Thanks for allowing me to
See at today's graduation
Even if they won't let us wear sunglasses
What will we do when we have our own kids?
Give them twelve year bids just after
The bars come off the cribs?
Work within the system? Make them
Listen to the darkest lecture
In the architecture of a prison
Full of purity-scarred security guards?
It’s sure to be hard recess!
Rush hurriedly to the yard
Back-to-school nights are visitation rights
And boredom is
The warden they’d be less ignored
In private schools but can you afford
Them? And even then they’re fair
To middling they fiddled
With inmates’ diddles
And now they’ve got the Ritalin
ADD: Another Dumb Doctor’s
Complicity i’m about
To Sub stitute teach? No, tRACT
So when the states fail and
They can’t make bail, we’ll hold a jailbreak
Fake bake sale slow on the uptake?
Well, below in this cupcake
There’s a file a mile wide with
(St assisi’s SATs and) a reviled style guide
Current Events comparison
Contrast cause and Effect
Embarrassing bombast
Five Paragraphs each get a topic sentence or
"hook" for pop ascendance so much plop
Of course people stop attendance this
Court loves to drop defendants
Allow me to leave an
Illusion dispelled 98% of
The graduates matriculate 'cause the other
Poor suckers not here
Got expelled and ultimately they'll
Go to jail
We could rehabeducate with art but we ain’t
Got paints you can take your
Budgetary constraints and fudge it up your
Hairy taints that means you
Principal Asswipe you were worse
For class than sass or grass in a glass pipe
This isn’t hyperbole it’s reality verbally
And we don’t want weekends
We need every day between
If you might die when you’re twenty
Then you’re old when you’re fifteen
I know! I’ll reopen the Black Mountain School
And bring back to us the
Abacus as a counting tool
Y’all know what time it is this is my Bauhaus
We run around when it’s nice
Out and nobody kowtows
Happy Graduation Everybody! Ya hoo!
