My name is
Now you may remember not too long ago we had a spoken word artist by the name of Suli Breaks
Came dropped a live session and a lot of you were excited 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
It's his brand new piece his brand new "The Dormroom EP"
I'mma have to let spoken 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 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 along the of:
"You know to get a job, you need a good degree and these subjects will help you get a degree, we never had this opportunity when I was younger".
And he reply:
"But you were young a long 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, his hand more sternly and drag him to the car
she doesn't know is that she didn't ignore him just to shut him up
She didn't lie because they are just returning him from evening
And an argument in the hallway look bad on her resume
She won't lie because she had just spent the 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 does not any better herself
Although all her adult life, she has never used or
Pythagorean theorem, Pathetic fallacy, and does not the value of "X"
She will rely society to tell her 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 just an exam never to use again?
How many "A" grades did you get, which were never asked for applying for a job?
How many times have you remembered something 5 minutes just after the teacher "Stop writing"
to receive your results a month later to realize that you were only 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 form 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 becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy
Then every school has the to have policy on equality
Huh, the irony!

Exams are society's methods of telling you what 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 looks down on parents!
The same society that sells products to promote nature hair, looks and smooth complexion the model on the box, half photoshopped, and has fake lashes and hair extensions
With pastors that preach charity, but own jets
Imams that preach greed, but are all fat
that say they want "educated kids" but constantly marvel at how rich Richard Branson is
Governments, that preach peace, but endorse war, that say they believe so in the importance of higher education and further learning
Then why increase tuition fees every year?
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 follow when Miss Jefferson led
I took Jefferson out of the equation and learned to think for myself
I realized, we were taught to follow when misled
Huh, the irony!

Test us with tests, but the finals are final
Because they never us for the biggest test which is survival!
And I suggest is fairly outlandish
So I don't expect everyone to this
Except for the kid that 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 your 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 reference and Macbeth
And you'd fight the urge to express your by partially clenching 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 of the class who thinks:
"Why am I studying something that doesn't my drive?"
But when confronted with a maths problem his eyes come

So one is for my generation,
the ones who found what they were for on Google,
the ones who followed their on Twitter,
Pictured their future on Instagram, accepted on Facebook.
This 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 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.
