My name is
Now listeners you may remember not too long ago we had a spoken word artist by the name of Breaks
down dropped a live session and a lot of you were excited 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 blew me away
It's his brand new piece his brand new "The Dormroom EP"
I'mma to let spoken word do what it does best, and let it speak for itself
Brand new Breaks!

[Verse: Suli
now
There is a kid finishing evening in a heated discussion with his mother
Saying, why does he have to subjects he will never ever use in his life?
And she will look at him blanked eyed, stifle a sigh, think for a and then lie
say something along 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 reply:
"But you were young a long ago, weren't 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 him, grip his hand more sternly and drag him to the car
What she doesn't know is that she didn't 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 last one hour convincing a stern face teacher that she would ensure that her child studies at home
No! She will lie simply, because she does not know any better
Although all her adult life, she has never used or
Pythagorean theorem, Pathetic fallacy, and does not know the 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 just before 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 minutes just after the teacher "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 remembering 5 minutes earlier would've made you qualified for a particular job?
Well, on an form it would have
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 couldn't do a 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 that tells you that abortion is wrong, but looks down on teenage parents!
The same society 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 preach against greed, but are all fat
Parents 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 much in the importance of higher education and further
Then why increase tuition fees single year?
I believed Miss Jefferson when she took me into the office, said that my exams would be imperative to my
Because we were taught to always follow when Miss led
Then I took Jefferson out of the and learned to think for myself
I realized, we were always taught to follow 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 what I suggest is outlandish
So I don't everyone to understand this
Except for the kid that knows what it feels like to be worth no more than D or that A that you get on results day
And the ones whose best stories were never good 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 Hamlet and Macbeth
And you'd fight the to express your contempt by partially clenching your fist with only your medius finger left protruding in the middle of your hand
And asking if he was aware 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 with a maths problem his eyes come alive

So one is for my generation,
the ones who found what they looking for on Google,
the ones who followed dreams on Twitter,
Pictured their future on Instagram, destiny on Facebook.
This one's for my "failures" and "dropouts", for my unemployed graduates, my assistants, cleaners and cashiers with bigger dreams,
My entrepreneurs, my world-changers 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 that 72 or 88, 44 or 68,
We will not let exam results decide our

Peace.
