Verse 1
Yo
Let me welcome you

Come inside the minds
Of an extraordinary kind
We have JT Hall and myself

Now listen
Because it can't be helped
Watch as I decipher

The meaning behind the plan
That our parents made
Before we learned to stand

To make us millionaires
Out of a million men
Now Listen to how our journey began

Entered grade school
Where we learned how to stay cool
Grabbed a few toys

Played with my homeroom boys
Times were fun and great
But then we found out

What was true and fake
And how to love and hate
When we all sat down

Some of us with frowns
As we took a test
That decided the rest

A small cruel and twisted fate
Who would rise up and be great
Against those who found out just a little too late

They were called the AIGs
And it messed everything up for me
Got displaced from my peers

Who in turn just jeered
making me feel inferior about my own abilities
Now I hope you see all kids who are just like me

Who lost their self righteous identity
To the school system that taught us how to blindly see
That tests made you into what you truly achieved

Even though years from now it'll seem like a lucid dream
Now Justin
You're just in time to be discussing

All the reasons why
Standardized testing
Should be forgotten

Justin why does it seem so rotten?
Now sit tight


Verse 2
Now listen to me
I have an antidote

For this anecdote
The kids who start their first year
Wont end up being away from their peers

Instead of creating social classes
Keep equality within the masses
Get rid of tests that separate

Instead create new ways
To make learning feel great
We are born with curiosity

All to have it crushed
When we take a subject
Only because they say we must

Allow students to create a passion
With their interests as first priority
