education is a problem

education is a problem
finding it is a pain
we're encouraged to solve them
but what if we choose to refrain
the fools say we need papers
schools want us to sign
four years of college capers
just initial on the dotted line
sign away your rights
and get assaulted by dogma
teach you to abandon fights
encourage the listening of yo-yo ma
i never liked crowds
and ive never liked stares
some people are so loud
i feel like nobody cares
i sit on a cramped up couch
and i listen to my computer hum
i gaze out of my window
and i feel like a basement bum
my friends were never friends
i've moved alot of times
i've been focusing on self-tending
occasionally i write rap rhymes
a fool at the bar
insulted my rap skills
its easy to insult from afar
but i'd like to know how you earn your bills
i see you polishing the table
and i see you doing the grunt work
your career is more of a fable
you're just a barkeep jerk
the summer is a'coming
i'm planning my future
birds are outside singing
take a college brochure
i dont know what to major in
i dont know where to begin
for many years ive been asked to fit in
now im looking within
music is fun and writing is cool
i want to be an influence
i could hit the streets or go to school
one may lead to affluence
