Tableau Noir Part 1
I recall primary school as if it were yesterday.
Pencil and notebooks, not like today.
I recall in primary school, there was always respect.
But now, it seems to have fallen on deaf ears the meaning.. such regret.
I recall in primary school, getting sent to the office shaking in absolute fear.
Nowadays a kid gets called. Who cares, they mock and cheer.
I recall in primary school, some pupils being held back a year.
Nowadays all passing grades, forcing the child to fall behind, they had to follow their peers.
It's truly sad that yesteryear has not shown the way.
It seems like holding them back will never come back one day.
I recall highschool. For me it was a lot of fun.
But if you failed, there was really no place to run.
I recall highschool, yes you had your cliques.
But knowing this, I was certain to always had my wits.
I never followed, I tried more to lead.
Skipping class, made you an ass.
This is fact..... indeed!
