My name is
Now listeners you may remember not too long ago we had a spoken artist by the name of Suli Breaks
down dropped a live session and a lot of you were excited about that
I was this morning when I opened up a package, had no idea what it was
Opened it up, put it in the player, play, and it totally blew me away
It's his brand new from his brand new "The Dormroom EP"
I'mma have to let spoken word do what it does best, and let it for itself
Brand new Breaks!

[Verse: Suli
now
There is a kid finishing parents' evening in a heated discussion with his
Saying, why he have to study subjects he will never ever use in his life?
And she will look at him eyed, stifle a sigh, think for a second and then lie
She'll say something the lines of:
"You know to get a good job, you need a good degree and these subjects will you get a degree, we never had this opportunity when I was younger".
And he reply:
"But you were a long time ago, weren't you mum?"
And she won't respond although what he implies makes perfect sense that societies would have changed since he was 16
But she ignore him, grip his hand more sternly and drag him to the car
What she doesn't know is that she didn't him just to shut him up
She lie because they are just returning him from parents' evening
And an argument in the hallway look bad on her resume
She won't lie because she had just spent the last one hour convincing a stern face teacher that she would ensure that her child more at home
No! She will lie simply, because she not know any better herself
all her adult life, she has never used or applied
Pythagorean theorem, Pathetic fallacy, and does not the value of "X"
She will rely society to her child who has one of the sharpest mind in the school, is hyperactive, unfocused, easily distracted and wayward

Students!
How many equations, subjects and dates did you just before an exam never to use again?
How many "A" grades did you get, were never asked for when applying for a job?
How many times have you remembered something 5 minutes after the teacher said: "Stop writing"
Only to receive your results a month later to realize that you only 1 mark short of the top grade?
that mean remembering 5 minutes earlier would've made you more qualified for a particular job?
Well, on an application it would have
We all have different abilities, thought processes, experiences and
So why is a class full of individuals tested by the same
So means Cherrelle thinks she's dumb, because she couldn't do a couple sums
And if this issue is not addressed properly, it then becomes a self-fulfilling
Then every school has the audacity to have on equality
Huh, the irony!

Exams are society's methods of telling you you're worth
But you can't let society tell you you are
Cause this is the same society that you that abortion is wrong, but then looks down on teenage parents!
The same society that sells products to promote hair, looks and smooth complexion with the model on the box, half photoshopped, and has fake lashes and hair extensions
With pastors preach charity, but own private jets
that preach against greed, but are all fat
Parents that say they want "educated kids" but constantly marvel at how Richard Branson is
Governments, that preach peace, but endorse war, that say they believe so much in the importance of education and further learning
Then why increase tuition fees every single
I believed Miss Jefferson when she took me into the office, said that my would be imperative to my success
Because we were taught to always follow when Miss led
Then I took Jefferson out of the equation and learned to for myself
I realized, we were always to follow when misled
Huh, the irony!

us with tests, but the finals are never final
Because they never us for the biggest test which is survival!
And what I suggest is fairly
So I don't expect everyone to this
Except for the kid that knows what it feels like to be worth no than that D or that A that you get on results day
And the ones best stories were never good enough for your English teacher
apparently you missed out key literal techniques
Did not follow the plan,
And the was too "informal" for him to understand
But then he'd Hamlet and Macbeth
And you'd fight the urge to express your contempt by partially clenching your fist with only your medius left protruding in the middle of your hand
And asking if he was aware that was known as the innovator of slang
Or the kid at the back of the class who
"Why am I studying that doesn't fuel my drive?"
But when confronted a maths problem his eyes come alive

So one is for my generation,
the ones who found what they looking for on Google,
the ones who followed dreams on Twitter,
Pictured their future on Instagram, destiny on Facebook.
one's for my "failures" and "dropouts", for my unemployed graduates, my shop assistants, cleaners and cashiers with bigger dreams,
My self-employed entrepreneurs, my and my dream-chasers!
Cause the purpose of "Why I hate school, but love education" was not to a worldwide debate,
But to let them know that 72 or 88, 44 or 68,
We will not let exam results decide our

Peace.
