Hey DJ Drop that beat! Verse 1: It’s just another day, day at the school The hands go up in the math room not askin for the bathroom but it’s basically a snoop dogg video in every single classroom Surprise I’m the teacher, nice to meet ya ya know that those kids crazy nowadays so we run a tight ship, gotta keep a tight grip Nows kids… don’t forget to keep your line straight They got their hands high and it ain’t even Friday They got my brain fried and I ain’t even high paid But Look what I made, cause in this generation We getting B B board of education I’m just saying this is sort of education don’t know why they gave me my certification Mr. Willey Can we please just read… What’s wrong am I breaking your concentration? okay okay I move crowds like they didn’t take their medication Don’t mean I’m not looking forward to the Common Core Just sayin we gotta make it fun or I’m a kinda snore These books more prehistoric than a dinosaur And the test scores isn’t all we fightin for Gotta work hard and play hard if you in these walls, Might fall before ya ball cause everybody here is tryin to soar, So what ya can’t do can’t do is drag us down ya didn’t bring your homework? that’s a party foul school yard Mardi Gras, in house party clowns Sorry to the first floor, it’s getting kinda loud Hook: Somebody call the b b b board of education Tell em that I’m b b b bored of education Verse 2: I see the kids walking on the way to school, they like Mr. Willey you think your way too cool And that’s true, I’m sicker than a waiting room My whole crew rowdy way before it’s May or June And my Warby Parker frames got me lookin kinda nerdy just in case my principal is coming to observe me I’m in my best clothes, she said I’m outta dress code Whatever though I know I’m in the building like asbestos I swear I been tryin’ to model bein modest But it’s hard cause they spot us mouths drop like orthodontists Obvious we got the ganas, hot as chicken empanadas, find us in the heights we party hard as Las Dominicanas Honestly I’m so Ms. Krabappel with the flow Pedagogically an oddity yeah probably so Cause I skipped school, skipped school now I get make rules, if the board of ed knew, tell me what would they do Hook Verse 3: tell me why they staring like them mad at them I guess at some schools they not into havin fun It’s the 21st century home skillets “Do More” like those commercials from Degree home skillet Get degrees home skillet, have a dream, go fulfill it anytime they doubt ya that is when ya need to go kill it And some people old school like throw back gear But sittin round be boring that is so last year Don’t call it insubordination, it’s imagination I’m imaginin a nation that ain’t badly wastin motivation So much debatin, but tell what is changin we bored of education, I think it’s is time to wake them

I- I-I used to love her better back when all we had was one another She always cries… I’m sittin’ by her side Wonderin’ if it’s too late to apologize Verse 1: I remember when I saw her for the first.. time No make-up but shouldn’t seen her shine You lived a wildlife and I was child like And uncertain but determined to make Her… mine Call her Maya I was so much smaller but I hollered Just enough food didn’t have a dollar But Didn’t have a crib, we would hold hands and wander But even back then I wanted to ball You smiled like the sun, it was a honeymoon I wrote about her in graffiti on the wall Cause you cried tears of joy just to get us food And I know I’m weak I was insecure Cause I couldn’t be happy always lookin for more more, now I wonder if it’s ruined Shit.. I guess I’m only human Verse 2: Maya I started gettin’ coola Wearin’ nicer clothes, feelin like a ruler Started takin off to see that girl named Luna Meanwhile forgot about how important you were Then at a party made you introduce me to him first time I started usin’- I just wanted to fit in so I didn’t listen when you asked me not to do it, lookin back I think you knew that this would only cause more distance Forgot how natural that you used to be Now it’s foundation, and skyscraper jewelry I bought you implants, and I straightened your hair showin you off so that all the other dudes would see Then came that day, I put the needle in your vein You smashed a plate, your body began to shake See I forgot that you made me, started thinkin’ that I owned you And I became obsessed with tryin’ to control you Verse 3: Sometimes I wonder how you loved me, started stealin from ya, usin you for getting money pretendin I ain’t see that blemishes, rapin and pillagin, Just thinkin when I’m richer I will fix it takin out your plasma I just needed a fix quick Leavin you with nothin left at all to feed your kids with Left their home deserted they were sent away it hurt me too, but not bad enough to change but you had had enough, I shoulda got the warnin moods unstable, temper started warmin, I came home, you were pissed you were stormin out tormenta cryin hard from the torment and your veins was so polluted you sent that bitch Katrina to tell me we’re through I hadn’t admitted how much I affected you, Could not imagine my future not next to you First night you were gone, I couldn’t even sleep Whenever I’s away from you I couldn’t even breathe With all the memories they never left my mind Never thought I’d be the one that would be left behind But I was so addicted, fuel was all I wanted you came back home I was barely conscious You were so sick, asked me for another hit- tried to give it but I was so fucked up I missed the needle ripped a little hole deep into your skin, you screamed “what the frak!?” then you started bleedin quick I tried to plug it, but didn’t how I could fix this You were lying on the floor, suddenly it hit me I couldn’t keep livin if I let you die Why’d it take so long for me to recognize Now I’m sittin’ by your side, starin’ at the sky Cryin out.. is it too late to apologize?
