Teacher Teacher
These lyrics I write may sound unkind
But black and white crime should not be permitted in these time
Teacher, teacher why do you choose to make me the monkey of the school
Is it because you think the color of my skin is so uncool.
Teacher, teacher my mother did not make a fool
I know when you are being cruel
All of a sudden, you chose to change the school rules.
Teacher, teacher help me to understand
Why, you choose to make me an everyday mule
Can't you see hatred and war only starts a fuel.
Teacher, teacher I want to learn , I have too earn
But your hatred for my color have me terrified and concern
Teacher, teacher don't get me wrong not because my body look strong
It means you can make me the playground clown.
