Verse 1:

I'm a blue scholar worker studying the art of labor to create

Flavor to relate to listeners, alleviate the danger associated with strangers

Isn't it strange how we estrange ourselves from our neighbor?

Enables us through music to connect, releasing fluids in our neck

With the rhythmic forward movement of our heads and back again

Indeed as we succeed the pioneers

Maybe give back all that we've been taking through the years

I bleed, for what I believe to be the truth

Nurturing the seed planted in the fertile youth

The poetry, hanging from the branches eat the fruit

Pluck the most succulent to suck upon the juice

"So what's up with you?" frequently they ask

Been hibernating writing till the last page, ciphering the past days by

Bypassing the lies and the bullshit

Get up off the mic, and save it for the pulpit

 

Chorus (4x):

In the blue school, class is in session

Ask us a question, cause class is in session

 

Verse 2:

I'm an exile, motherland stepchild

Metropolis dwelling middle America's prisoner of war

Combat the paper till the blankness is gone

Listen now, talk about the beat after the song

Astronomical, cause that is just a modest measurement

Of my ability to represent my family correct

Because I be about it, ain't no other way to say it

Discovered my potential when I stayed late to tape it

In the basement with an ancient karaoke stereo in lieu of a studio

We made due with everything lying around

And if I'm not mistaken isn't that improvisation what Hip-Hop is all about

If you popping at the lip then I will sock you in the mouth

Sonically to render you the opposite of loud

Apology accepted in advance

I think its kind of cool at one point that you thought you had a chance

 

Repeat chorus

 

Verse 3:

A veteran's fate written on pages of mixtapes

I'm all about a government that citizens dictate

Sick of fucking dealing with the president's mistakes

To sit back and rant is just misplaced anger

So I cradle, pens, from now until the fable ends

Taken friends for granted, but now I've got to make amends

Calling out the big talk small walking cowards

High above the ground, yo we shaking down your towers

And demanding our money back, plus reimbursement

For parking and shit, I put my heart in this shit

And all my arteries connect to the amplifier wire

Music make the flames in my inner fire higher

I reinvent the language in the image of a dancer

Contorting where the floor becomes an answer

Blue school graduate dog, after this last verse

When the revolution comes we going to shoot your ass first

 

Repeat chorus
