Lyrics – Adjectives
By Daniel Joseph Duey
Adjectives
Verse 1
Let me talk about a student of mine, who crossed the line,
took my test, got zero out of nine. Had a study guide, put it under
his bed, so his head would memorize everything inside. It didn’t
fly, so he tried to lie. He said, “I studied all night.” Yeah right,
because the test was about adjectives. An adjective describes
what something is. That’s easy, he obviously wasn’t paying
attention. An adjective gives detail to any word in the sentence.
He now gets a big fat F, and big and fat are adjectives to describe
the grade on his test.
Chorus
Ad, Adjective describes what something is
And that’s fine, by the way, [insert your name], your beat’s not
better than mine.
Verse 2
So later on that night as I’m sitting at the kitchen table eating
Coco Puffs, watching Family Guy. I get a call, and it goes like
this. Listen. Yes. This is the mother of the student that failed the
test. I’m trying to teach him to be the best that he can be, but
obviously he is having a hard time with this subject. Reteach it to
him please… Mam, there would be no need for this situation, if he
listened in class and showed some determination. I’m getting
impatient, tired of the whole situation, tell him adjectives add more
detail to nouns and phrases. An adjective, describes what
something is. My house is what the something is, and the
adjective to describe it is real big. You think I would have all of
this if I didn’t know what it is?
Chorus
Ad, Adjective describes what something is
And that’s fine, by the way, [insert your name], your beat’s not
better than mine.
Verse 3
You, you don’t want to end like this kid, so you, you better learn
your adjectives. I’m not through, you not listening to this and fail
your test it’s like everyone around you is fresh except you. You
don’t want to be that dude. You want fresh as the adjective to
describe you. You also like to be described as live, so fly, the type
of guy everybody wanna be by and be like, so rewind this track,
and play it back, over and over until you learn this here fact. That
when someone asks you what describes what something is? Tell
them Mr. Duey told me it’s an adjective.
Chorus
Ad, Adjective describes what something is
And that’s fine, by the way, [insert your name], your beat’s not
better than mine.
