Preme - S.A.T. lyrics

"[1] Muthaf**as—say that I'm foolish ‘cause I'm rapping for school Do you fools read my reviews or do you just skim through ‘em? I'm influenced by the ghettos I grew in The same dude who paid dues decided to change rules Never been stupid, and won't a**ume it of you, but if you Don't see my picture I ain't painting for you It's just music I meant for you to listen to. Don't confuse it With what it's not. If you can use it, you should use it. If not Then do what you do. It ain't for you to…condemn or condone it I make it, then I say it and I own it Never promoted hate speech I'm more for break beats, but if it takes me Using that to get from there to over here, then I'm a make these work You see, I see the folks I teach like a mirror And when I teach me, it's this type of approach that is clearer So I'm a be me, and stand behind my ‘f** you' to critics So if you get it, then you got it and you get it. It's as simple as that [Hook] All I do is pa** time studying for cla** rhyme writing Last night it was a different one. Today I'm back like tomorrow's coming Reading what I'm needing for next time. Teaching, trying to earn my keep Time keep running, so I'm on it And I can only say it how I see it, give it how I get it, speak it how I live it Therefore, this thinking of mine you only get sixteen at a time [2] Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen I ain't an academic, but I'll kick it with ‘em a minute You see I teach and I rap, and some people call it a gimmick But I never thought it was different. Just got in where I fit, it's Not rocket science. If I am the most inspired by poems And then I write ‘em. How can I be expected to go on And live without it. Let alone, never do what I say So take your Sophocles, and I'll do what you're doing with Jay But just wait—this ain't to say that what you're doing is wrong And I'm right. I'm sure there's no two people who are alike There's pedagogical problems, and if I claim I can solve ‘em [and I might] Who's to say what I do might do for the night, but then tomorrow The same thing that we saw being done is being done I guess that kind of brings us back to square one. Where to start Is where you are. I say you do what you can If you can't, then I don't think you should be teaching. I'm saying, just think about it [Hook] All I do is pa** time studying for cla** rhyme writing Last night it was a different one. Today I'm back like tomorrow's coming Reading what I'm needing for next time. Teaching, trying to earn my keep Time keep running, so I'm on it And I can only say it how I see it, give it how I get it, speak it how I live it Therefore, this thinking of mine you only get sixteen at a time [3] See, I'm a poet to some—sometimes I have to teach Shakespeare A teacher debating if what he's saying relates here To the moment we're living in, in America now Is wasting time. I say you put him up against rhymes Of some of the best of the present. Prepare your lectures accordingly Then you're good. It's not so boring being historically open-minded Hope you find it a better approach. Research. He ain't the only one who said what he wrote And ain't no story original. Every one is another So every song that you hear is another lesson discovered Another story uncovered to couple up with the canon And the planning might be a pain. But give it time, understanding That's a process. And there's a lot less That you could do and do worse. And what's a little bit of change gonna hurt? Not much. Besides, they say that what we do is the future So, that's time that's well invested if it's reaching your students, right? [Hook] All I do is pa** time studying for cla** rhyme writing Last night it was a different one. Today I'm back like tomorrow's coming Reading what I'm needing for next time. Teaching, trying to earn my keep Time keep running, so I'm on it And I can only say it how I see it, give it how I get it, speak it how I live it Therefore, this thinking of mine you only get sixteen at a time."
