DARREN (Rapper), ANJUM (Comedian), TIA (Singer). Three talented young people at school in Tower Hamlets who took part in the Speak Your Mind sessions and put together this video to express their views about school, teachers, life...and Subway.

LYRICS:

Every time we come in now,
Teachers put us down,
Getting on us bout this and that,
Have a go if we back chat,
When we do what we do what we do what we doin in the back of class,
Some days we just can't be asked, but that doesn't mean we know that it's
Essential, essential, essential, essential,
Essential, essential to stay in school.

Teacher hate the way we bother her,
Blowing bubbles in our gum sitting in the corner,
Her class drives me mad and I don't like it,
She on a trip like a psycho, and I am,
One of the coolest in school don't you know,
I whispered to my mate, "yeah, you ready to go?"
I rolled up some paper and threw it up in the air,
Teacher got so mad she kickin us outta there, yeah
So that's that? Yeah that's that,
Say's come back, I ain't coming back,
And so I go, might not even come tomorrow,
Feels like a waste of time so,
You know, life is hard, that's a yes,
I'm pissin off my teacher and I'm dealin with the stress,
I won't speak till you're finished,
But you won't really get what it's like till you're in it. Sing.

Every time we come in now,
Teachers put us down,
Getting on us bout this and that,
Have a go if we back chat,
When we do what we do what we do what we doin in the back of class,
Some days we just can't be asked,
But that doesn't mean we don't know that it's
Essential, essential, essential, essential,
Essential, essential to stay in school.


She calls my house got I've gotten in a fight,
But I don't care she can say what she likes,
Mum shouts my name loud, I try and lay low,
That's what I aim for, that's how the game go,
Some kid has tried to say I beat them up!
It ain't like that I try and tell her but...
Will she hear my side, It's so deep,
Kid stole my phone, and it weren't cheap,
Everyday it's the same thing I sleep in,
It's so hard blood, Can't seem to get in,
I gotta stop it, not how my mum raised me,
That's a thought when I'm driving her crazy,
In trouble now, It's so shit,
This is so long, But I won't quit,
Sometimes my hearts not in it,
But I won't stop till my education's finished.

Every Time I'm sent home now,
My mum has a frown,
So I go down subway,
Get the sub of the day,
And I queue and I queue and I queue and I queue to get one for you,
Cos I know one thing is true,
That you always get me through, FACT that you've
Got my got got my, got my, got got my,
Got my, got got my, got got my back.
