Baljeet — Gimme A Grade lyrics

Lyrics

I have been burned by vague lesson plans
And a free-floating curriculum
I like my rules, baby, etched in stone
Because you know im going to stick to them
Can I get a syllabus? A little discipline?
Judge me on a scale of A to F
You wasted all my time
Learning how to rhyme
And left me hanging from a Treble Clef
Somebody gimme a grade
I need the man keeping me down
Somebody gimme a grade
Is there a red pen in this town?
Somebody gimme a grade
I already said it i need the extra credit today
Somebody gimme a grade
And make it an A
I am stone-cold honor roll
I won’t be told how to vent
I won’t cry or sigh I’m here to testify
Up with the establishment
My parents understand me
For conformity inside of me
Which I can help the system out!
I ain’t not gonna waste my summer
Getting beaten by my drummer
Put a mic in front of me and ill shout
Somebody gimme a grade
You know I’m gonna wreck the curve
Somebody gimme a grade
The only letter I deserve
Somebody gimme a grade
This isn’t a request
I demand there be a test today
Gimme a grade
