[Verse 1] Bell rings same script, dull lesson Outdated tests for a broken obsession We streaming in 4K but the mindset buffering Teaching ’bout a world that the code ain’t running in Still ranking kids like a spreadsheet chart But the data’s all dirty and it’s breaking their hearts Got futures in their pockets whole labs in their hands But we lock the apps down then we cancel their plans [Chorus] Wake up stand up this classroom’s burning out Stop the nonsense stop the lies we calling it out System built on a world that doesn’t exist now If we keep holding the past it’s just slowing us down Wake up stand up tear that old script down [Verse 2] They say “sit still” while the planet keeps spinning They afraid of fresh code ’cause the old game’s thinning Grading on curves while the curve keeps rising Teaching old maps while the borders keep sliding We need: real talk, real skills, real labs Not fear, fake stats and some fill-in-the-blanks They debugging the kids for the flaws in the plan But the bug’s in the system not the child in the chair, understand? [Chorus] Wake up stand up this classroom’s burning out Stop the nonsense stop the lies we calling it out System built on a world that doesn’t exist now If we keep holding the past it’s just slowing us down Wake up stand up tear that old script down [Bridge] If the code is corrupt you don’t blame the device You rewrite the rules you reboot the skies We the update we the patch we the voice in the crowd Hit save on the truth then we say it out loud (hey!) [Chorus] Wake up stand up this classroom’s burning out Stop the nonsense stop the lies we calling it out System built on a world that doesn’t exist now If we keep holding the past it’s just slowing us down Wake up stand up tear that old script down
