Ask Your Teacher
[Verse 1]
When you're in school
Have you ever asked the teacher if they're a fool?
I'm not sure about that one
I think StateFarm should get me some
I be there like "I wanna get something nice"
But no rice
Ask your teacher how they find life
Or if they're high just like a kite
I be walking
Walking, just like I'm talking
"Walk faster"
No, you little orphan
You cannot test me
You cannot best me
I'm not rebelling
I just want some pastry
Like a long shot
Like I'm playing sports
I want that top
I want those shorts
I want that club
I want that caddy
This thing I love
It's called a khaki
When you live in England
Expect to get asked this
"Do you drink tea?"
Yes, I also eat biscuits
I also drink coffee
Because coffee is nice
If you haven't had coffee
What is wrong with your life?
Am I even joking, or am I floating
Or am I rolling... down a hill with some motion
It's getting dry, use some lotion
School corridor, there's a commotion
Let's go join in
So we can cause a red ocean
And let's get some sharks in here too
With dolphins, monkeys and kangaroos
"But why would you want to do that?"
Come on, get back and stay back
Lay back, get laid back
Don't lean back hard, chairs go crack
[Chorus]
"Have you ever asked teachers what they think about life?"
I don't know, maybe, maybe not, I don't wanna try
"But why not, it's not harmful to anyone"
I know, but if I try, I'll probably get barked at like a pelican
I know that won't happen
I'm just playing around
Now let me finish this song
I need to finish the sound
"Have you ever asked teachers what they think about life?"
I don't know, maybe, maybe not, I don't wanna try
"But why not, it's not harmful to anyone"
I know, but if I try, I'll probably get barked at like a pelican
I know that won't happen
I'm just playing around
Now get out of this room
'Fore I throw you to the ground

[Verse 2]
How do you think life is?
Sad, happy, full of bliss?
I don't know now
I just wanna stay back now
When you're in school
Remember these rules
Don't talk to anyone
Don't think you're cool
Don't think you're excellent
Don't think you're an elephant with words that you think are evident
Don't repeat verses
Oh wait
Don't rap rhymes from nurseries
That you think are great
Don't exclaim in the class
About how you're green just like grass
And break CDs like glass
Now, boy, you're moving too fast
Stop moving that fast
You can't accomplish stuff
Well, yes I can
"Who are you talking to?"
Myself
Don't talk to yourself
Put your ego on the shelf
"Pooja, what are you doing?"
Giving out messages to help
"Would anyone like coffee?"
Yes, give it to me, now
"Pooja, calm down now"
I can't, I'm moving through the crowd
When there is a fight
Just try to act calm despite
What might happen to you
Be prepared to egnite
Because you cannot take chances
And you cannot win them
If you are not prepared to stand up because you know you're dead
"Do you ever hate school"
There's no one going "school rules"
I hate how I said that
That was in the rules
Never say things rule
You sound about eight
You must never be right then
"Damn right, mate"
[Chorus]
"Have you ever asked teachers what they think about life?"
I don't know, maybe, maybe not, I don't wanna try
"But why not, it's not harmful to anyone"
I know, but if I try, I'll probably get barked at like a pelican
I know that won't happen
I'm just playing around
Now let me finish this song
I need to finish the sound
"Have you ever asked teachers what they think about life?"
I don't know, maybe, maybe not, I don't wanna try
"But why not, it's not harmful to anyone"
I know, but if I try, I'll probably get barked at like a pelican
I know that won't happen
I'm just playing around
Now get out of this room
'Fore I throw you to the ground
