Famous on YouTube

(Chorus)
But they don’t want to learn, they don't want to try
They look at the board with a heavy, blank and sigh
They tell me that history's a waste of their time
And math doesn’t matter if you can just ask some AI
They’re saving their energy, skipping the roots
Because everyone’s gonna be famous on YouTube.
(Verse 2)
I ask them their dreams, but they stare at the wall
Some want to be famous, most don’t care at all
They know every streamer, every TikTok star
But ask them about World War 2 and they haven’t a clue

I ask for a paragraph “n” give em a week
They hand in a blank page, refusing to speak
They tell me they're tired, they tell me it's too hard
I’m losing my mind over thirty-one kids
No discipline here, just a phone in hand
They expect a degree for just doing a dance
The laziness grows while the standards just drop
And I’m standing here being the classroom cop.

(Chorus)

But they don’t want to learn, they don't want to try
They look at the board with a heavy, blank sigh
They tell me that science is a waste of their time
And reading is boring if it isn't online
They’re saving their energy, skipping the roots
Because everyone’s gonna be famous on YouTube.

(Bridge)

And then comes the email, the ring of the phone
The parents are calling to complain from home
"It’s your fault they’re failing, you don't understand!
You're gradings too hard, you expect too much
They blame the environment, blame the whole school
But never the kid who is lazy and breaks the rules
No boundaries at home, no consequences taught
Just pointing the finger at the lessons, I taught (Guitar Solo / Beat Drop)

(Verse 3)

I used to have passion, I used to have pride
Now I’m just counting the minutes inside
Defending my choices to people whose brains are asleep
While I carry the weight of promises we can’t keep
The system is broken, My patience is gone
I’m fed up fighting a battle that can’t be won.

(Outro)

So I pack up the markers ‘n’ turn off the light
I’m signing my contract goodbye tonight
Let the cameras roll, let the algorithms choose
I’m done trying to teach kids who only want tik tok views.

Verse 1 Seven a.m., I’m pouring my coffee in my cup Wondering why I keep showing up Unlock the door, turn on the screen Preparing to face the daily routine The bell starts to ring, they drift through the door Hoodies pulled up, eyes glued to the floor They slump in their chairs, a heavy routine No notebook in sight, just the glow of a phonescreen. (Chorus) But they don’t want to learn, they don't want to try They look at the board with a heavy, blank and sigh They tell me that history's a waste of their time And math doesn’t matter if you can just ask some AI They’re saving their energy, skipping the roots Because everyone’s gonna be famous on YouTube.
