Nate Laban — Calm Down Sir lyrics

Lyrics

I told a lot of policemen, bosses, and teachers to fuck off
They usually stared so stern unable to speak
How come this boy, abandoned can’t buy his own suit
And how come he looks so tired, but he never shuts up?
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
But please tell them all that I meant it
My fingers got worn out, up and down so many times
I guess I don’t have to explain that it was the middle
Some people knew not what they deserve
But i was there to tell them off
It just so happens that most of them needed a little more truth
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Oh but please tell them all, please tell them all that I meant it
My 9th grade science instructor was a total fuck
He used to grab on students and try to beat’em up
The week before I quit, the bastard hit another one, besides myself
And oh, how that child had trouble standing up
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Oh but please tell them all, please tell them all, please tell them all
That I don’t regret a thing I ever said or did to you
And I will take this strength you taught me
And I will live in here in peace, forever
I’m trying to calm down, sir
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
Well I’m trying to calm down, sir
