That'Ll Learn Ya

Let’s change your ways Jada
Lets tame the craz’ Jada
Let me see those pearly whites Jada
Let’s make that face a happy place Jada

I’m not trying to change you Jada
Do you care Jada?
Well I didn’t intend to offend you ma’am
 *Gasp* Sass me how dare you Jada

You have got to change that attitude
Your whole demeanor is very rude
Before you talk, you set the mood,
It’s like I don’t give a F-U-C-K about you
Let us start this year anew

Ok miss and mister 
I got an idea…

I won’t catch an”attitude”,
I’ll nod my head like a fool
I won’t argue with these unjust views
I’ll fix my hair to look like you
 ****, I’ll buy pair of Sperry’s too,
I’ll let my heritage escape
I’ll learn yours to reciprocate 

Look at me now
Can you recognize me sir?
I’m a pitiful duplicate of some advice giving hypocrite
With a whole new aura I’ve been told
A brand new toy, Eureka I fit the mold

Suppressing my emotions is getting old
The only curve now is initialed on my face, 
Smile with all emotions, that’s how you’ll win the race

I’ll fly high 
I’ll make it to the top 
I’ll won’t miss a beat any day  
But now I can’t make myself stop

I call that Assimilation Education
That chapter of my life is done
You’ll get an A++ son 
Just don’t question a thing
and get them naps done

What you didn’t know is 
That I got a secret for you
I am going to live my life happy 
All you can be is you
