Tyler, The Creator
School
[Intro: Virus the kid & Tyler, the Creator]
These are nothing but my thoughts
So open your mind
Process it
Cuz I’m about to school you
While talking about school
I feel like college is for…
Ok and unless you’re being like a fucking marine biologist
Or something very specific, a lawyer
N***as be going there
Wasting fucking money
Wasting time
Fucking lost as fuck
You in fucking debt
Just cuz you was fucking lost with 13,000 other lost motherfuckers
Just so you didn’t feel like a loser and you could trick people
Making them think that you were doing something with your life
Really pursue what the fuck you wanna do

[Chorus]
I wanna talk about my struggles
You lock me in thesе walls and tell me you tryna educatе me?
Though I can’t say this shit is useless
Cuz everybody’s different and we’ve gotta be our true selves
I wanna talk about my struggles
You lock me in these walls and tell me you tryna educate me? (Huh)
Though I can’t say this shit is useless
Cuz everybody’s different and we’ve gotta be our true selves
[Verse 1]
Staring at the window
I’m in class
But I can’t concentrate
Because of what is on mind
My dreams and goals I contemplate
Though I know this school shit ain’t shit
If I just put my mind to it
But I can’t really do it just cuz I ain’t got no love for it
This song ain’t just for me
It’s for anyone that can relate
Cuz I know that a lot people go through this and can relate
It can mislead
Cuz your knowledge cannot be tested by some dumb test
And if you think you need to know chem and physics to be smart
My n***a then you dumb

[Chorus]
I wanna talk about my struggles
You lock me in these walls and tell me you tryna educate me? (Huh)
Though I can’t say this shit is useless
Cuz everybody’s different and we’ve gotta be our true selves

[Verse 2]
Though don’t misunderstand me
I’m just talking from my own perspective
I know school’s extremely important
And without it we won’t go this far
I know that’s where some people’s dreams at
And I really respect that
If you got a dream then put the pedal to the metal
And never ever let your hopes rut bruh
If you wanna be a doctor or a lawyer
An accountant or the likes of
Go to school bruh
Don’t give a fuck bruh
It’s what you want
Not what they want
Middle finger
They opinion
They be talking
Tunnel vision your shit
Like a motherfucking cyclops
But that ain’t the only way
So let your children play
All the pressure you exert can really break a kid
Let them experience life
Find out what they like
Find out what they hate
And where they passion at
Mehn I hope you listening
Not just hearing me
Cuz I’m talking from experience mehn I know the feeling
To have a fucking dream
But be denied of it
I hope this on no other kid
Yo this shit needs to stop mehn
But I packed up my bags and I got strapped up
Went out for war cuz my dreams I ain’t gonna give up
Foot on the gas ain’t gon stop I ain’t gon let up
Cuz I know I can do anything I put my mind to
Feel like a pine tree
A really tall one
High up in the sky but dropping fruits to give y’all free game
I hope y’all ain’t looking at the fruits thinking it’s weak game
Feel like 12 in this bitch, Ja Morant you know it’s big game, for real
[Outro]
Well
I just schooled you
While talking about school
Yeah
