[Verse 1: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, spearheading, precise] Sub desk in the morning with a coffee gone cold Kids sized me up like a story already told Soft sweater, quiet shoes, a name they could not place They started writing essays with a smirk across the face Prompt was simple: pick a book and argue what it means Half the class chose mine and tore apart the scenes I graded in the margin with a calm red pen Never said the author sat among them then [Hook: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, loud, spearheading] Same author in the chair you mocked as soft Red margin holds the truth you brushed aloft Write your clever takedown, make it neat and wide I already lived the ending you described [Verse 2: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, spearheading, colder] One kid called the narrator a coward in disguise Said the ending was a cheat that wore a paper mask I wrote see the chapter where the coward pays the cost Ink settle in the fiber while the period gets lost Bell rang, they filed out loud with victory smiles I packed the essays neat in alphabetical files Spearheading quiet through a room that wanted noise Authority without a speech is still a voice [Verse 3: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, ink settle, spearheading] Last period I left a sticky on the board Not a boast, a page number, a single quiet cord If you want the man who wrote the coward into light He graded you today and left before tonight Ink settle on the desk where the red pen cooled Same author, different sweater, still unfooled [Hook: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, loud, spearheading] Same author in the chair you mocked as soft Red margin holds the truth you brushed aloft Write your clever takedown, make it neat and wide I already lived the ending you described [Bridge: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, loud, spearheading] Grade the myth, grade the kid Both can be wrong, both can be hid Margin is a mirror too Read it back, it reads on you [Hook: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, loud, spearheading] Same author in the chair you mocked as soft Red margin holds the truth you brushed aloft Write your clever takedown, make it neat and wide I already lived the ending you described [Outro: Spearheading needlepoint male MC, quiet precise, pen click rings out and fades] Ink settle, chapter mark Tell them the sub said goodbye [End]
