To Ensure Student Learning Lyrics by GhettoRi¢

EP1: The Farewell Mixtape

2021

[Verse 1]
Text types getting hype tonight (aye!)
I flex mike, you grow ripe and bright (right!)
Expedite light for tykes unerudite (pipe it up.)
Bet' set your sights on archetypal flight (hero cycle!)
On the direct down-throw I cold stole the show
But yo a lecture don’t work no more (no?)
Dress it with a deck (no), dramatically inflect (uh-uh)
It still stultifies and steals souls (uninspiring)
Drop the glow to show video (yes!)
So many modes I got the flow-ago(-gos)
Andragogy cracking Paolo's code (bell hooks!)
Peep the swell and surf a spell on waves of gray beneath the bone
“Lookie, lookie here,” go the hands (Mr. Kerber)
A wookie-wookie cheer like I's Han
Observers ask how I do it, I just fluidly spew it
Improvisate and bait the Satan of ignorance
[Pre-Chorus]
Where fiction and fact overlap, yo
My instruction go hard (hard, hard, hard, hard, hard)
My instruction go hard (hard, hard, hard, hard, hard)
My instruction go hard
[Chorus]
College (college)
Teens be tweaking
Like it’s methamphetamine
Acknowledge college
Ain't worth the scheming
By parents dreaming vicariously (that's right)
Knowledge (knowledge)
I don't teach it
I bubble possibility
Acknowledge knowledge
Comes not from preaching
Youth feeds not on teacher dreams (yo)
[Verse 2]
Despite what Crosby and Stills say, it's more the David and Rog way
I don't fuck with a textbook, I only need one look
To ice you like George iced Lennie (spoiler alert)
To ice you like George iced Gatsby (floating Jay)
Ain't no chalk dust tortured Trey (in my class)
No peeps be keeping their emotions at bay
It ain't harmless to repress, yo it’s best to express
And I facilitate fools gaining tools to spray
In my zone you know they hone the dome
You phoning home from a roaming zone (droning)
You just a Speak & Spell, with an umbrel(-a)
In a film near forty years ago (coffee can, too)
By and large, I’m in charge (raised fist!)
I beef with bullies who be trying to barge (verbally.)
All up in on the lesson (what?), with no second-guessing (what?)
On the brink they blink
To my Lincoln
Can't sync double thinking
Sheep sinking
And shrinking and slinking and thinking
[Pre-Chorus]
Goddamn!
GhettoRi¢ go hard (hard, hard, hard, hard, hard)
GhettoRi¢ go hard (hard, hard, hard, hard, hard)
GhettoRi¢ go hard
[Chorus]
College (college)
Teens be tweaking
Like it’s methamphetamine
Acknowledge college
Ain't worth the scheming
By parents dreaming vicariously (that's right)
Knowledge (knowledge)
I don't teach it
I bubble possibility
Acknowledge knowledge
Comes not from preaching
Youth feeds not on teacher dreams (yo)
[Outro]
(My man Nan stands six foot seven
All respect, fist to chest, he the best
Perhaps last of the classic princi-Pals
And he once said to me, he once said to me:
The job is not to teach
I repeat, the job is not to teach
The job is to, the job is to
The job is to, the job is to
The job is to ensure student learning)
