School Dayzzzzz

Remember those high school kids who dressed in black becoming night knights in the day light to fight the world that looked away from them like they were just glares son

Remember those high school kids “Columbinin” the school who looked dead at them like they were fu%cking scared son
 
And those shorties who wore short skirts and booty shorts who took a short cut for cash by shorting their education to be with short, short minded men who in the long run short cut their lives by cutting them
.. ..
And those who wore red long sleeves like Valentine's Day dripping off their wrist
Coz no one wanted to talk to them or hold their hand long enough for the loneliness to stop
.. ..
And the violence never stopped
And they couldn't stop the abuse
And they couldn't stop the hunger at home so they fed off their anger and took it out on kids who couldn't defend themselves just like themselves
Took a class trip to scared straight and realized that ends in jail cells
Problems at home jumped into back packs and followed children to school like a bad apple as a lunch snack
Beating on other kids to be cool
At home got beat real bad and they took it out on the nerdy kid coz they sat sad with bruises on their cheeks and wouldn't tell a word
coz back then a tattle teller was worse than having the koodies
but than we all grow up and find out about STDS
and how koodies was worse than telling on bullies  
And how no double dare is worth contracting a virus
You shoulda learned that in health class
HEY KID WHERE'S YOUR HALL PASS?  
.. ..
Back to school days walking down the hall ways
Trying fit in but jeans never fit right
And students could never sit tight
And the principal always asked if what we did was right?
Forgot we have our own problems and became impolite
Picking fights
And not picking someone coz of their height
How high were we?
Once we reached Jr high were we?
To fly to pick our buggers anymore
Not say the pledge alliance coz the war
Put ants in our pants
Do our homework for happy face stickers
So knowledgeable of what girls did after school to call em hookers
Excited like a mother fucker coz they sold us cigarettes at the store
Want to cut school coz we don't need it anymore
Educated in street smarts bookworm too scared to call you a retard
Took off for a year…oh yeah when you gonna restart ?  
.. ..
.. ..
What you doing with your life beside your 2 babies
And the free McDonald's hook up coz you flip burgers
.. ..
What you doing with your life besides living with your parents smoking weed in their basement and not showering for 3 days
.. ..
What you doing with your life besides working for minimum wage
Flipping a magazine page while you shitting on your life coz you can't read the caption
Told me you was dropping out here's my reaction
Don't be absent minded better yet just don't be absent
