Alright class, we're gonna get started. Everyone, please don't take your seats, Close your textbook, Stand up, and dance to this song What do you think of when I use the word School? You might shrug your shoulders and be like, 'S cool – It's a needful but imperfect institutional tool To make the people on the planet not be absolute fools Or you might have the view that it's only half true What they teach, and that in truth it's a tool that uses you – Subject to abuse, and the subjects you take Are designed to make your mind subjects of the state ...Some say it's great tho — A-OK – And the best way to go is to go and get A's – But whether you B for it or don't C it as best Society D-mands that you go or you're F'd When we were kids We would sing this hook 'No more pencils No more books' When they made us go to school And yet in the days when the tradition began Way before the institutions and the social demand The Ancient Greek "schole" from which "school" is rendered Did not mean work you had to do, it meant LEISURE Leisure? — Yessir — Free Time? — yes! — If you had food to eat, and other needs didn't press You might read or write, if you liked — free of stress – So yes — in a sense, School meant Recess You might spend your time with a Socrates And talk thoughtfully about God and Being And contemplate concepts of cosmic things Without and obligation or college fees And speaking of ironic etymologies 'Education' from the Latin educare means To lead out from, not to sit inside — And 'study' meant passion for a task — yeah, right Now you might ask why, like — Bruh, what da fuh...? How'd it all become the opposite of what it was? School meant Days Off; study meant fun Why's it upside down? I'm confounded. It's dumb Welcome to the club. Are you really surprised? Humans have a tendency to systematize – And the systems are fine, until the systems are blind To the very human beings for whom the system's designed It's a means to an end. And in the end that means That whoever's at the head gets to set the meanings And assign the readings, and to set the times And to regulate the rhythm of our lives and minds But way before pencils and way before books And way before the tests that everybody took There was Old School School. (Word) Alright let's go ahead and walk outside now Put our hands in the soil. ... Don't forget your improvised song is due... At any time It ain't about your interests, kid – It's how ya get 'er done Better aggregate your passions into learning outcomes Don't be burnin' out, son! Reevaluate your goals Gotta crack another statue from the economic mold Got you docile till you're old – 'They don't want us to know!' But the thing about 'Them' is The 'They' is Us, bro – Life is short, learning's slow – Why go back to the source When you could simply get it second hand? A requisite course And yes, you're being forced – And while at times it may be free So is all your social media – It's not that hard to see That that's another way of saying the commodity's me And the product is becoming what they want me to be You're so lucky – Old school study – So what are we to take from it And what disintegrate? How to disentangle the age-old angle Of obligation in the way When we educate – How to make it relate so it ain't Disembodied and a Knowledge but in name Without making that very same knowledge All but impossible to gain? (Dang) Make it a GAME — make Work Play – Never have to go to, and yet learn everyday – Make it into songs, teach lessons over beats And not just on the internet but also on the streets Education is an art And performance is a part Of its method and its manner 'Cause the head needs the heart – Hip-hop History SchoolHouse Rock Indigenous traditions – Times change. TikTok Here's a thought — Honor teachers in the game that go the hardest 'Cause in the end the teacher is the same as the artist – Let em play their part as pop-stars, getting famous Being bona fide philoso-rapper viral sensations ...I'm biased. ... Should I even talk? I'm a product of the system, a philosophy doc – And my knowledge, on which I base this critical thought Is predicated on the privilege of having been taught – I've thought of that a lot. ...If we lost what we've got Is it tantamount to tossing out the board with the chalk? But it may be worth a shot: and here's the reason why Like nails on a chalkboard, we're just squeaking by Education is the basis of society's design – The system that instills what's in everybody's mind And under this system, the society we find's Economically unequal, ecologically awry So redefine School: Not a tool of the state But a movement that arises from those who create – Whose mode of exchange isn't monetary wealth But Relationship and Wisdom. An end in itself No more tests No more rules No more half-truths Back to the roots – Back to Old School Schools You're so lucky – Old school study No more hassles (Old school study) No wack books No more teacher's dirty looks No more bureaucratic crooks (Old school study) And school boards with too many crooks No more standards (Old school study) No more rules No more half truths Back to the roots No more half truths (Old school study) Back to the roots Back to the roots Old school school Alright well, that's it for me today ... But we'll meet again for our next session ... Whenever we meet again. ... And until then... Study!

ห่างกันเท่าไร แม้ไกลสุดฟ้า แต่ในหัวใจฉันยังห่วงหา ฉันเคยเป็นอย่างไร ก็เป็นคนเดิมเรื่อยมา เก็บใจไว้รอเธอ ไม่เคยมอง ไม่สนใคร แต่ใจของเธอเมื่อไกลห่างฉัน มั่นคงเหมือนเดิมหรือมันหวั่นไหว ฉันได้แต่ฝากดาว และขอภาวนาเรื่อยไป อย่าทำให้ใจเธอเป็นของใคร ขอให้เหมือนเดิมทุกอย่าง ฝากความคิดถึงฉันไป ฝากไปในสายลมเมื่อวาน ฝากไปอย่างนี้ทุกวัน ผ่านแสงจันทร์ที่งดงาม ฝากหนึ่งคำถามของใจ ฝากไปในนี้เพลงที่เธอฟัง ว่าเธอ ยังรักกันไหม อยากรู้ ยังคงไม่ลืมที่เธอบอกไว้ เนิ่นนานเท่าไร รักไม่เปลี่ยนผัน แค่ขอเธออย่าเปิดใจ เพื่อรับใครบางคนสักวัน หากทรมาณเมื่อวันที่ความเหงา ซึมเข้าในหัวใจ ฝากความคิดถึงฉันไป ฝากไปในสายลมเมื่อวาน ฝากไปอย่างนี้ทุกวัน ผ่านแสงจันทร์ที่งดงาม ฝากหนึ่งคำถามของใจ ฝากไปในนี้เพลงที่เธอฟัง ว่าเธอ ยังรักกันไหม ฝากความคิดถึงฉันไป ฝากไปสายลมเมื่อวาน ฝากไปอย่างนี้ทุกวัน ผ่านแสงจันทร์ที่งดงาม ฝากหนึ่งคำถามของใจ ฝากไปในนี้เพลงที่เธอฟัง ว่าเธอ ยังรักกันไหม ฝากหนึ่งคำถามของใจ ฝากไปในนี้เพลงที่เธอฟัง ว่าเธอ ยังรักกันไหม

Don't believe everything happiness says Nothing feels better than hiding these days We bury our fears in the drinks, in these tears For the days we believed we could fly Call up your brothers and sisters and friends We'll go back to the place where the night never ends We'll remember the fires, the burning car tires Boy, how in the hell did we get here? So why don't you meet me down behind the old school? We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity The apathy's surrounding me Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away Over and over and over again We sat down for a minute, grew up into men Now we're putting out fires and changing car tires Man, how in the hell did we get here? So why don't you meet me down behind the old school? We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity The apathy's surrounding me Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time And we'll never get back what we gave away When we still have that fire in our eyes Don't believe everything happiness says Nothings as real as our old reckless ways When we drink by the fires, the burning car tires Bad girls and good liars, the dreams we'd conspire The days we went crazy, the nights wild and hazy Man, how in the hell did we get here? So why don't you meet me down behind the old school? We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity The apathy's surrounding me Don't close your eyes or we'll fade Why don't you meet me down behind the old school? We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard For how cavalier we used to be that beautiful insanity The apathy's surrounding me Don't close your eyes or we'll fade

You walk down Alameda Shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone Like some precious only son Face down, bow to the champion You walk down Alameda Looking at the cracks in the sidewalk Thinking about your friends How you maintain all them in A constant state of suspense For your own protection over their affection Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Walk down Alameda brushing off the nightmares you wish Could plague me when I'm awake So now you see, your first mistake Was thinking that you could relate For one or two minutes she liked you But the fix is in You're all pretension I never pay attention Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart If you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart

Do you think that it'd be warm in Montana If I only went for a day No, I won't move out of this city Because I always take her with me I just need, I need, I need to get away And I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to all fifty I never met a state that didn't leave a bruise 'Cause I was born heavy handed And then the money left me stranded So, I've got time to give and daylight to lose So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow Even if you don't pick up and I'm gonna tell you I love you Even though it's not enough And if they ask if I was boring, you could tell 'em this story Oh you can say, I say, I say too much Like how I wish you didn't move to Colorado No wait, I wish I didn't keep you in my phone 'Cause every time I start to miss you Oh I could tell you in an instant And you don't need to, need to, need to know Then I had that dream where we meet in San Francisco And you look at me like I'm a bad idea And then we kiss a million times 'cause I rehearsed my lines Of what I'd say, I'd say, I'd say to you So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow Even if you don't pick up and I'm gonna tell you I love you Even though it's not enough And if they ask if I was boring, you could tell 'em this story Oh you can say, I say, I say too much So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow And hope that you don't pick up So that I can tell you I love you Until the voice mail interrupts And when they ask too many questions Baby let them Because I play, I play, I play, I play too much

You can be the moon I'll be the sun You leave too soon We've barely just begun We've barely just begun I watch and I rise But you control the tides From the highest of the highs You took me for a ride You took me for a ride We'll go and run in circles, a force you can not fight Cause I am the day and you are the night And it's in your nature, to orbit it close than far I thought you could defy it and be my shining star My shining star You let me shine through To make the fullest of the moons Took credit for my light And the magic from my eyes You took the magic from my eyes We'll go and run in circles, a force you can not fight Cause I am the day and you are the night And it's in your nature, to orbit it close than far But I thought you could defy it and be my shining star My shining star Goodnight my stars Goodnight my moon, moon I see your waves they crack monsoon [?], soon (Ooooo) (I see your waves) (Ooooo) (Soon) Goodnight my stars Goodnight my moon, moon I see your waves it cracked monsoon [?], soon Goodnight my stars Goodnight my moon, moon
