My name is
Now listeners you may remember not too long ago we had a spoken word by the name of Suli Breaks
Came down dropped a live session and a lot of you excited about that
I was excited morning when I opened up a package, had no idea what it was
Opened it up, put it in the player, pressed play, and it blew me away
It's his brand new piece from his 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: Suli
now
There is a kid finishing parents' evening in a heated with his mother
Saying, why he have to study subjects he will never ever use in his life?
And she will at him blanked eyed, stifle a sigh, think for a second and then lie
She'll say something the lines of:
"You to get a good 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 will
"But you were young a long time ago, you mum?"
And she won't respond although what he implies makes perfect that societies needs would have changed since he was 16
But she will ignore him, grip his hand more sternly and him to the car
What she doesn't know is that she ignore him just to shut him up
She didn't lie because are just returning him from parents' evening
And an argument in the would look bad on her resume
She won't lie because she had 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 does not any better herself
Although all her adult life, she has used or applied
theorem, Pathetic fallacy, and does not know 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 when for a job?
How many times have you remembered something 5 just after the teacher said: "Stop writing"
Only to receive your a month later to realize that you were only 1 mark short of the top grade?
Does that mean remembering 5 minutes 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 of individuals tested by the same means?
So means Cherrelle thinks she's dumb, because she couldn't do a couple sums
And if issue is not addressed properly, it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy
Then every school has the audacity to have policy on
Huh, the irony!

Exams are society's of telling you what you're worth
But you can't let society you what you are
this is the same society that tells you that abortion is wrong, but then looks down on teenage parents!
The same that sells products to promote nature hair, looks and smooth complexion with 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
Parents that say they want "educated kids" but constantly marvel at how rich Richard is
Governments, that preach peace, but endorse war, that say they believe so much in the of higher education and further learning
Then why increase tuition fees every year?
I believed Jefferson when she took me into the office, said that my exams would be imperative to my success
we were taught to always follow when Miss Jefferson led
Then I took Jefferson out of the and learned to think for myself
I realized, we were taught to follow when misled
Huh, the irony!

us with tests, but the finals are never final
Because they never prepare us for the biggest which is survival!
And what I suggest is fairly
So I don't everyone to understand this
Except for the kid that knows what it feels like to be worth no more than that D or A that you get on results day
And the ones whose stories were never good enough for your English teacher
Because apparently you missed out key literal
Did not follow the plan,
And the was too "informal" for him to understand
But then he'd reference and Macbeth
And fight the urge to express your contempt 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 back of the class who
"Why am I studying something that doesn't my drive?"
But when confronted with a maths problem his come alive

So one is for my generation,
the ones who found they were looking for on Google,
the ones who followed dreams on Twitter,
their future on Instagram, accepted destiny on Facebook.
This one's for my "failures" and "dropouts", for my unemployed graduates, my shop assistants, cleaners and with bigger dreams,
My entrepreneurs, my world-changers 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 not let exam results decide our fate

Peace.
