Each time I took a test I was learningA
A certificate must be a ticket to better earningsB
I took studies on self worthC
Contentment was no sentimentD
The tutor taught us to keep our eyesE
On our own papersF
Sometimes I became a haterG
Because the tutor gave simple examplesH
And complex exercisesI
-
The primary aim is to learnJ
We experiment and experienceK
But the secondary aim is to earnJ
At leisureG
It pleasures only a few to swot upL
In case of a pop upL
Some have the knowledgeM
But would never pen it downN
Some pen it downN
But never have the courageM
To speak upL

Tutorials are optionalO
Lectures are essentialO
Every moment markets an individualO
And the chance to new discoveriesP

The ones who sleep in classQ
And the ones who can t waitR
To get out of classQ
The ones who love power playS
The good the bad the ugliesQ
The bullies and the bulliedT
The geniuses and the dummiesQ
The uniquely gifted and the ordinaryU
The focused and the distractedV
The ones who move in crowdsQ
And the ones who dwell in solitudeW
The peer pressuredX
And their peer pressuresQ
The ones who strive to be like the tutor sQ
And the ones who easily create humourU
-
Break time s always our fun timeY
Fun time s the only timeY
We forget to keep track of timeY
And the hours go byZ
While we re absent mindedV

My momma saidA2
The best job I could get is with a certificateB2
An incentive I knew this wasQ
Still I couldn t wait to graduateB2
But when I did I realized thatC2
Life itself is a bigger classroomD2
Levels and ranksQ
Seniority pranksQ
A few friends from classQ
Became friends for lifeE2
Some others promisedF2
To stay in touchG2
But never really triedH2
-
Distance broke some connectionsQ
And connection broke some distancesQ
How ironic the classroom isQ
The labor market can change classes of individualsQ
And individuals can change the better their chancesQ
-
That s why when I take the test of lifeE2
I m independentD
Eyes on my scriptI2
I hardly competeJ2
In life The classroomD2
Practical is everythingA
From experiencesQ
It must be critically critiquedK2
Pay less attention if it doesn t let you depictL2
Follow your instinctsQ
There s always a price for the outstandingA
But don t expect a prize when you re standing outM2
