A musician might be flattered to learn his or her lyrics are part of a classroom curriculum.

Not Lil’ Wayne.

The rapper told an interviewer that he doesn’t think some of his songs are a good fit for sculpting young minds, as was the case when an eight grade English teacher relied on 6 Foot, 7 Foot in her classroom. Lil’ Wayne told ESPN’s First Take program that the song isn’t appropriate for a classroom setting.

The song’s lyrics, which included references to sexual acts and drug use, outraged some parents. The teacher was later suspended.
