oh boy

oh joy

do you we know

the things to say today

wait nope

want do we know

oh yeah

we took english

we know what to say

wait no

we learned to read

we learned to write

but what do we speak

wait hold on

I know what they speak on tv

I know what they say in music

so I spew what I know

let my inputs make my outputs

yeah cause that's what we do with words

least words spoken

because why do we value

written words

why would I know

what I was taught at a school

was just what I was taught to do

not what I realized I was meant to do

why should I value

the words I read

I don't know

Kanye says they don't matter

be proud to not read

right

so yeah

why should I read

he makes more money than you teacher

shut your mouth

he doesn't teach

he doesn't write

he doesn't read

why would I want anything to do with literacy
