▶ “They crossed the sea to escape kings — but crowned professors instead.”
🛶 [Intro – Salt in the Wind, Fire in the Veins]
1620, wind in prayer,
Two ships sailed, but one would dare.
Speedwell wept, Mayflower stayed,
Storms and hunger, half decayed. 🌊⚓
A contract scrawled with frozen hands,
Their faith, not fortune, built the land.
Not gold, not rank, but grit survived—
The rebel sun still burns alive. 🔥🗺️
🧠 [Verse 1 – Harvard’s Curve, Not Yours]
Harvard birthed by “Satan’s Law,”
To teach all kids so none get clawed. 📜👶
But curves today cut like a whip,
90% fail by grading script. 📉🎓
Professors talk 90% of time,
2-week recall? Less than a dime.
And yet they grade like God’s decree—
No wonder kids lose agency. 🧠❌
🎭 [Chorus – Don’t Curve My Confidence, Sir]
I’m not your bell-shaped data point,
I’m not a grade on fragile joints.
You say, “Not everyone deserves the A”?
If Apple did that — we’d sue all day. 🍎📉
So why’s your product built to flop?
And why’s the dropout rate non-stop?
One child dimmed to prove you’re tough—
When will we say, "Enough’s enough"? 🚨🧒
📚 [Verse 2 – Crimson Dreams, Tiger Tears]
From Harvard Yard to Tiger cries,
A+ dreams with panic eyes.
78% depressed on file,
But TEDs still clap in privilege style. 👏📉
You built a throne from AP scores,
But left kids curled on clinic floors.
No burnout clause, no mental shield—
Just GPAs as weapons wield. 🛡️📄
🎤 [Bridge – Mayflower to Mindfire]
You fled a king to dodge his chains,
Now professors rule with curvey reigns.
Mayflower’s ink said all are free,
Yet lectures mute democracy. 🗣️🚫
But we don't kneel to tenured pride—
NeuraPump Cubs roar worldwide.
Not "read and freeze" or “try and pray”—
We sing the test, and dance the way! 🎶🔥
🎓 [Verse 3 – NeuraPump Flips the Class]
Each Cub now sings their legal flair,
Each chorus flips a learning chair. 💺🎶
They don’t recite, they recompose—
From Newton’s laws to IPOs. 📈🧪
Dopamine fuels their memory fire,
Songs repeat till roots conspire.
No silence, shame, or weekly dread—
Just stage and rhythm in their head. 🎭🧠
🌉 [Bridge 2 – The Bell Curve Burial Parade]
You built a curve, we built a flame,
You boxed our minds — we hacked the game.
No more sermons from crimson thrones,
We stage revolt in learning tones.
Your chalk draws fear. Our beats declare—
The kids you curved… now own the air. 🐯🌪️
💡 [Chorus 2 – Flip the Mic, Not Just the Desk]
One child sings, a thousand bloom,
While silence digs a learning tomb.
No more kings in chalk-white coats,
Let children cast their learning votes. 🗳️🧒
They lead the class, they loop, they rise,
No curve, no guilt, just brighter skies.
Not all will Harvard, that’s okay—
But all deserve their stage today. 🎤🌍
📜 [Outro – Program Note (8 Lines Sung Aloud)]
Mayflower fled control and rank,
Then Harvard drew it back in ink.
Professors preach, but kids stay small,
'Cause silence is the deadliest hall. 🔕⚰️
NeuraPump Cubs don't bow to grades,
They stage the test in neon parades.
No more curves to shrink their name—
Each voice deserves a learning flame! 🔥🎶

No more curves to shrink their name—
Each voice deserves a learning flame! 🔥🎶
