Now you may remember not too long 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 excited about
I was excited this morning when I opened up a package, had no idea it was
Opened it up, put it in the player, pressed play, and it blew me away
It's his brand new from his brand new "The Dormroom EP"
I'mma have to let spoken word do it does best, and let it speak for itself
Brand new Breaks!

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

Students!
How many equations, subjects and dates did you memorize just an exam never to use again?
How many "A" did you get, which were never asked for when applying for a job?
How many times have you remembered something 5 minutes just the teacher said: "Stop writing"
Only to receive your results a month later to realize that you were 1 mark short of the top grade?
Does that mean 5 minutes earlier would've made you more qualified for a particular job?
Well, on an application form it would
We all different abilities, thought processes, experiences and genes
So why is a class full of individuals tested by the means?
So that means Cherrelle thinks she's dumb, because she 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 policy on
Huh, the irony!

Exams are society's methods of you what you're worth
But you can't let tell you what you are
Cause this is the same society that tells you that abortion is wrong, but then down on teenage parents!
The same society that sells products to promote nature hair, looks and smooth complexion with the model on the box, photoshopped, and has fake lashes and hair 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 at how rich Richard Branson is
Governments, preach peace, but endorse war, that say they believe so much in the importance of higher education and further learning
Then why increase tuition fees 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 to always follow when Miss Jefferson led
I took Jefferson out of the equation and learned to think 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 prepare us for the test which is survival!
And I suggest is fairly outlandish
So I don't expect to understand this
Except for the kid knows what it feels like to be worth no more than that D or that A that you get on results day
And the ones whose best stories were never good enough for English teacher
Because you missed out key literal techniques
Did not the class plan,
And the language was too "informal" for him to
But he'd reference Hamlet and Macbeth
And you'd fight the urge to express your contempt by partially clenching your fist with only medius finger 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 something that fuel my drive?"
But when confronted with a maths problem his eyes come

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

Peace.
