My name is
Now listeners you may 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 about that
I was excited this morning 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
his brand new piece 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' evening in a heated with his mother
Saying, why does he have to study subjects he never ever use in his life?
And she will look at him blanked eyed, a sigh, think for a second and then lie
She'll say something along the of:
"You know to get a good job, you need a good degree and these subjects will help you get a degree, we never had this opportunity I was younger".
And he reply:
"But you young a long time ago, weren't you mum?"
And she won't respond although what he implies makes perfect sense that societies needs would changed since he was 16
But she will ignore him, grip his more sternly 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 parents' evening
And an in the hallway would look bad on her resume
She won't lie she had just spent the last one hour convincing a stern face teacher that she would ensure that her child studies more at home
No! She will lie simply, because she not know any better herself
Although all her adult life, she has never or applied
Pythagorean theorem, Pathetic fallacy, and does not the value of "X"
She will society to tell 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 memorize 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 just after the said: "Stop writing"
Only to receive your results a month later to realize that you were only 1 mark short of the top
Does mean remembering 5 minutes earlier would've made you more qualified for a particular job?
Well, on an application form it would
We all have abilities, thought processes, experiences and genes
So why is a class full of tested by the same 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 a self-fulfilling prophecy
Then every has the audacity to have policy on equality
Huh, the irony!

Exams are society's methods of you what you're worth
But you can't let society you what you are
Cause this is the same society tells you that 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 lashes and hair extensions
pastors that preach charity, but own private jets
Imams preach against greed, but are all fat
Parents that say want "educated kids" but constantly marvel at how rich Richard Branson is
Governments, that preach peace, but war, that say they believe so much in the importance of higher education and further learning
Then why increase tuition fees every single
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 Jefferson led
Then I took Jefferson out of the equation and learned to think for
I realized, we were always taught to follow misled
Huh, the irony!

Test us with tests, but the are never final
they never prepare us for the biggest test which is survival!
And what I suggest is outlandish
So I don't expect to understand this
Except for the kid that knows what it feels 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 your teacher
apparently you missed out key literal techniques
Did not follow the plan,
And the language was too "informal" for him to
But then reference Hamlet and Macbeth
And you'd fight the urge to express your contempt by partially your fist with only your medius finger left protruding in the middle of your hand
And if he was aware that Shakespeare was known as the innovator of slang
Or the kid at the back of the who thinks:
"Why am I studying something that doesn't my drive?"
But when confronted with a problem his eyes come alive

So one is for my generation,
the ones who found what they looking for on Google,
the ones who their dreams 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 purpose of "Why I hate school, but love education" was not to a worldwide debate,
But to let them that whether 72 or 88, 44 or 68,
We not let exam results decide our fate

Peace.
