Parents Just Don't Understand* (Student Version)
the italicized portion originates from the song written by Pete Harris, Will Smith, Jeffrey Townes
You know parents are the same no matter the time or place
They dont understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
So to you other kids all across the land
there's no need to argue, parents just don't understand...
My parents don't understand why I don't like school
Yo, the school is boring it takes way too much time
Mom really wants me to get my education, no fool
The classes are not interesting, I'm not about to whine
My parents want me cleaning the dishes
I'll do it later, right now I am busy on my phone
It's not like I don't do it to spite them or their wishes
When I get back to the sink, the dishes are gone
My parents don't want me to staying up at night
Staying up can effect you, I know I need my sleep
I be scrolling, texting and watching videos of the fight
But I still be staying up, it's not that deep

My teacher talk while I’m half asleep
Assign ten pages due next week
“Pop quiz today" and grin with pride
While every student wants to hide
You say, "This work is super light"
Then make us write all day and night
You circle commas, mark in my work red
And fill our brains with fear and dread
Still somehow, despite the pain
You teach us stuff that sticks in brain
You are too strict and kinda mean
Overall, you’re not the worst teacher we’ve seen

I was out with my friends and talking on the phone
and my mom beeped in. She said, "It's 7 PM, it's time to come home."
It was still light outside, I was line dancing with a fan
I thought, "I'd better sprint or she will use the frying pan"
but. I'm old enough to wander further down the street
But she still thinks a standard sunset means retreat
I try to explain that the night has just began
And staying out a little later is pure fun
My friends are all allowed to chill till nine or ten
While I am forced to say goodbye to all of them
It’s like she thinks I’m five and need a fairy tail,
Or if I stay out late, my health is gonna fail
I want to prove I'm responsible and growing tall
But she just sees the kid who used to trip and fall
She thinks the dark is full of drama and despair
And doesn't get that we just want some evening air
I guess until I’m grown and packing up my bags
I’ll have to tolerate her constant curfew tags
But there's no need to be upset parents just don't understand
