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

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

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

are society's methods of telling you what you're worth
But you let society tell you what you are
Cause this is the same society that tells you abortion is wrong, but then looks down on teenage parents!
The same society that sells products to promote nature hair, looks and smooth complexion with the model on the box, half photoshopped, and has fake lashes and extensions
pastors that preach charity, but own private jets
Imams that against greed, but are all fat
Parents that say they want "educated kids" but constantly marvel at how rich Richard is
Governments, preach peace, but endorse war, that say they believe so much in the importance of higher education and further learning
why increase tuition fees every single year?
I believed Miss Jefferson when she me into the office, said that my exams 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 think for
I realized, we were always to follow when misled
Huh, the irony!

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

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

Peace.
