There's always times for school, college, and work stress.
Just like with inhales and exhales, you decompress.
What is your coping mechanisms?
What keeps you live as an organism?
Today I bawled to the principal,
And it felt good.
It's tough being a teacher.
I end up becoming a preacher,
Of all the do's and don'ts,
All just to get the I-don't-wanna, and I won't.
So here I am dragging them by the wrists,
I don't give a damn if I take some hits.
First foundation to learning is safety,
There's no time for talks of maybes.
They say not to take it personally.
I'm not trying to, believe me.
But with such harsh circumstances,
You can't expect me to come in dancin'.
It's taking a toll on me, emptying my wallet with nothing to pay.
I'm burnt, like an undone cigarette on an ash tray.
How can I bring in peace with current weak will?
Oh, I know, fix it with some goddamn pills!
But it's eating my brain,
Nom, nom, nom, these things that are to keep me sane.
I just become more apathetic,
I'm starting to feel more and more pathetic.
I want to ask, can't we simply be frenemies?
Can't you see that it's not for me or your family?
It's for you and your growth,
To expand your life with opportunities of great worth.
Enough with the fists or the threats.
Enough with the five minute glory and those shits.
Cool it with yourself,
It's not good for you or my health.
So I'm standing and refraining my tearducts,
Quack, quack, quack, I don't want to give two fucks.
But I'm close to the finish line,
Where summer break will be all mine.
But I can get so nearsighted and lost,
With all these losing battles that I've fought.
This energy is draining my soul,
I'm losing sight of my goal.
Today I bawled to my principal,
And it didn't feel quite good.
Don't tell me I hit rock bottom.
I promise I'll find my umph, I'll get em'.
I know I have to,
I'm not here to lose.
I'm not here to whine or quit,
To bow my head and say forget it.
I'm waiting for my triumph,
I'm here to end with an umph!
